Barry M Instant Nail Effects: Coolest Thing Ever

Having read good things about Barry M's latest product, I popped into Superdrug this evening to see if I could get my mitts on a bottle.  Naturally, they were all sold out.  I got lucky, though, when I asked if there were any more; someone had put one behind the till and hadn't come back for it.  Their loss, my gain.

The thick, viscous black liquid dries on the nail in a very cool crackly pattern, which looks more high effort than it actually is.  You only need apply one coat, and you don't need to be particularly neat about it - I found that a good thick layer globbed onto the nail resulted in the gorgeous patterns above.  It does dry a little bit matte for my liking, but a quick coat of glossy topcoat sorted that out.

Seriously, this is the most exciting thing I've tried since I discovered that you could paint your hand with PVA glue and then peel it off in one go when I was at school.

Priced at just £3.95, I applied it over Barry M Spring Green - polishes are 2 for £5 at Superdrug at the moment, so it's worth grabbing a second for the extra pound and five pee.  If you can't find it on the high street, it's available on Barry M's website.  Highly recommended.
