FINALLY. The right shade.
As you’ll remember, I bought this in October last year (oh wow that feels so weird to say, and I still can’t get over the fact it’s already 2016), and would have shared it last year had I not painted my nails the wrong colour hahahahaha. But anyway, here it is: Barry M’s Black Currant, from their Gelly Collection.
When I applied the first coat it looked bright purple and I vowed to never wear it again, but as you can see from the pics as soon as I applied the second coat I had changed my mind. By the third coat, I was IN LOVE and vowed to wear this as often as possible.
Black Currant is a nice dark and plumy colour that resembles that of Barry M’s Nightshade (which I loved a lot), and in some lights looks black.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this colour and could not recommend it enough. I love how dark it is, and how different it is from my usual red toned favourites. The cool undertone of this shade means it’s not as sexy and intense as say Black Cherry, but it still has that mysterious factor. The cool undertone also makes this shade particularly perfect for cold winters.
