Barry M Instant Nail Effects 323 Croc

Croc time Some time ago I tried out the Barry M crackle effect nail varnish, and in all honesty I wasn't that taken with it. But I recently got this free with another nail varnish purchase, so even though I wouldn't have bought this myself, as it was free I did of course give it a go! This is available in black or dark red and costs £3.99. I picked up the red version. Follow the rules... Firstly it is very important to follow the instructions on applying this polish as otherwise it simply won't work. First you apply a coat of normal nail varnish - the first time I tried this I used a gold ... more

Barry M Instant Nail Effects: Mock Croc Nail PolishA year or so ago, I was very excited when Barry M brought out its 'Crackle' Nail Effects nail polish in black, as it offered an affordable version of OPI's 'Shatter' nail polish. I immediately went out and snapped it up, and absolutely loved the designs it enabled me to create on my nails - my favourite effect was to layer it over gold nail polish to give a leopard-print appearance. The only problem I had with the 'Crackle' polish was that it became clumpy and clogged within the bottle, which made applying it more and more difficult as time ... more

I had read about the Barry M Nail Effects Crackle nail polish on this very website, and it sounded so interesting that I decided to go into my local Boots and buy some. Instead I bought this, the Croc Nail Effects nail polish, also from the Barry M range. PACKAGING The nail polish comes in a typical small clear bottle, so you can see the colour inside.

It has gold writing on the front, with the name of the product and the Barry M logo. The lid is also ... more

Price I was so excited when I came across this new product in my local superdrug when it was first introduced, I had seen advertisements in magazines and loved the effect and at the time it was the only one of its kind on the market so it was a little expensive (to me who swears by MUA £1 nail varnishes) but I thought it would be worth it. Colour I understand now its been out a while, as with most products cheaper versions are available in lots of different colours which is nice but I've only ever bought one, the Barry M original black. I was a little disappointing at the time because i felt ... more

I love nail art, however, often find it to be very fiddly and time consuming to do at home or is to expensive to go to the salon every couple of weeks, so when Barry M bought out their 'crackle' nail varnish I was hooked, so when they bought out a new nail effect item this time to achieve 'croc nails' I just had to try it! Barry M sell a very wide range of nail varnishes from matte to bright, metallic to glitter and so on and the 'normal' nail varnishes cost £2.95 and the 'nails effect' nail varnishes are priced a £1 higher at £3.95. So far Barry M have bought out three nails effect nail ... more
