Back in February I bought Station Road and Ridley Road from the Barry M Textured range and absolutely loved them, you can see the swatches and review here. I mentioned in that post, that I may or may not buy at least one of the other 2 from the range. Of course, I caved and bought both of them. If you’ve been reading lately, you’ll know that I am completely in love with the textured trend and want every single polish I can get my hands on that has a texture.
So, these 2 polishes are Kingsland Road and Atlantic Road.
Kingsland Road is the one I wasn’t too sure about, yes, because it’s pink, but it’s really not bad at all.

It’s a pretty pale/baby pink and is very subtle in colour. The polish applied well and dried very quickly, which meant that the effect appeared quickly too.

| Atlantic Road |
Atlantic Road is a pastel sky blue and reminds me of Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream give or take a shade. I had no problems with application, although once completely dry, it did seem a bit patchy (probably my application).
Both of these pictures show 2 coats of polish. The formula’s are a bit runny compared to the normal Barry M Nail Paints.
Removal is easier than I anticipated and is somewhere about half way in between removing a normal nail polish and a glitter nail polish. Adding any top coat with these does take away the textured finish but as you can see, these have a slight shine to them anyway.
At the moment, the only colours available in the range are Kingsland Road, Atlantic Road. Station Road and Ridley Road, but I am holding out hopes that they bring out some darker shades in the near future.
How do you feel about the textured trend? What other polishes would you recommend with textured effects?
