Autumn Shade of Red: Barry M 'Rasperry'

Hey everyone. I've really not had the best of days today. Nothing majorly bad has happened, it's just been one of those days where all you want is your bed. A general 'meh' day. Here's a few reasons why:

1. I had a bad hair day
2. To make this even worse, i got rained on. Bad hair day + rain = even worse bad hair day of epic proportions.

3. My bus was late. As always. I hate my buses. They're never on time.

4. My ears are hurting from listening to lessons/lectures all day.

5. Ive lost my favourite pink umbrella

But its all ok. I'm sat on the sofa - just me and my blog and a family packet of bacon fries...

So i thought i'd do a quick post on my new addition to my Barry M nail paint collection: 'Raspberry'.

I painted them last night with this little beauty and instantly fell in love. It's such a lovely autumn colour, a deep red shade with purple/brown tones to it. I was really impressed with the pigmentation of this too - Barry M paints never fail to disappoint me but i really did only need one coat with this to get a decent opaque finish (I still went for two as i feel it makes it last longer).

(Apologies for my shabby painting and short, stubby nail - as i've explained before - working in a shoe shop really doesn't do kind things for your talons!)

I normally shy away from deeper colours but i just think this is such a beautiful shade (i want a lipstick this colour but im not sure if i can pull it off, so for now i will stick with the nail polish!). It looks different in various lights. Under normal/natural light it shows up the colour in the photo above, but in extreme bright lighting it looks a brilliant bright cherry red:
