Barry M Instant Nail Effects, part two

Good evening everyone! I hope everyone is doing fine - I am, I'm really hoping for the weekend to kick in and I'm secretly excited for the 'storm' tomorrow and Friday. I'm the kind of person that really enjoys stormy weather, the sound of rain and the wind blowing really hard - I'll go outside trying to 'lean' against the wind. But enough of my strange characteristics and let's go on with my blogpost.

I'm showing you the Barry M Instant Nail Effects, and yes, you've seen this one earlier but I did a combination that I think is really awesome.


First I wanted to use China Glaze Millennium as my base colour but I couldn't find it anywhere so I decided to go for the gold. According to Michèle gold really rocked, and yes, it does!

The base colour I've used is China Glaze 2030, the greatest gold polish I've ever seen. This gold is cool so my skin doesn't look like I've been with my hands in boiling hot water for 10 minutes. I used two coats for 2030 because I always think the first coat looks a little bit, I don't know, streaky? Showing every little flaw on your nails? I guess both these things. It really doesn't matter though, this one dries fast and having your nails painted with gold is just totally awesome.


I was thinking of getting gold Minx, I bet I'd feel totally awesome walking around with those shiny gold nails. Unfortunately I'm not going to do that now due to my cleaning job but whenever I have the opportunity of taking them I'm so going to!

I bought this one at Alice & Jo's Havesentials for €5,10 (about $6,70). Alice & Jo's also offers other colours of crackle polish by the brand Mia Secret. Barry M Instant Nail Effects can also be purchased from the official Barry M site.

Take care guys, thanks for visiting!

Barry M - Instant Nail Effects

Good morning all! I hope everyone had a good weekend and that the start of this new week will be very calm because we all know how sucky it is to start up after a nice weekend. My post today features a product from the British brand Barry M, a nice, animal friendly brand that offers a wide variety of cosmetics. I want to show you a product that a lot of people have been raving about on twitter and other mediums: their new Instant Nail Effects.


The Instant Nail Effects is a black top coat that crackles when you put it on top of another polish. This gives a crackle effect that some people love and other people hate ( - and some people just don't know how they feel about it, haha). I sure am in the first category, I think it's an awesome effect and it gives you that great little extra something. The crackle concept isn't new at all but I really wanted some crackle polish so when Barry M released this one I just had to have it.

The base colour I'm wearing didn't need any spicing up, it's Flip Flop Fantasy from China Glaze, but the contrast sure looks funky. Can't wait to try it out on other colours!


As you can see in my first picture Instant Nail Effects dries matte. I like it matte but I'm also afraid that it will fall off pretty quickly so I added China Glaze Fast Forward over it and it's also nice when glossy. Barry M polishes give me a good long time of wear and I'm pretty curious to see what this one does. Also, my normal Barry M polishes start to thicken up really quickly and I hope (PRAY) this one doesn't so that's also something I need to wait out and see. I'd love to see some other colours joining this one, I'm dreaming of silver sparkly crackle haha.

I bought this one at Alice & Jo's Havesentials for €5,10 (about $6,70). Instant Nail Effects can also be purchased from the official Barry M site. If you think it's a little too expensive or you're not sure if this is your taste you can also buy cheaper ones (and different colours!) on eBay.

Now, the question that is keeping me busy: do you say yay or nay?

Have a nice day!
Michelle
