Barry M - Air Breathable Pastels

Hi! It feels like it's been a while since I sat down a wrote a full post, but here I am! Today I have the four newest additions to the Barry M Air Breathable line to share with you. As the name suggests, the Air Breathable nail paints are Barry M's answer to breathable polishes, and allow water vapour to pass through the nails. I only have one or two of the original shades, but couldn't pass up on these four pretty pastels. Read on for my full swatches and more info!

As always, I'll address the formula first before diving into the individual swatches. As I have come to expect from Barry M, the formula was smooth and easy to apply for all four polishes. Being pastels, they are a touch streakier to begin with, so I would recommend adding that third coat to even everything out. I can't say that I noticed a difference in wear time or application from the breathable formulas - which is a plus!

'Mist' is a pastel green creme. Below is three coats with topcoat.

What do you think? Are pastels your kind of thing? I used to avoid pastels as I felt like they didn't suit my paler skin tone, but in recent years I've really been drawn to them and now I love them! I've definitely found myself drawn to these four a few times over the past few months, so you've likely seen them popping up on Instagram already.

You can find all four of the pastel Air Breathable shades, along with the rest of the line, on the Barry M website here.

Hope to see you in the next post!
