So I had a little snoop in Superdrug on my way home from a snoop in Primark (as one does).
I'm a HUGE fan of Barry M nail paints - HEE-UGE. I'd read about the sequin effects nail paints a few times already, and came to the conclusion that they wouldn't be for me. From what i'd seen in blogger reviews, they looked like a mixture if nail polish, sparkly bits...and sand. Ew.
However, being such a fan, I decided I had to have one. I just had to. Aside from the fact that the lighter colours looked crazy unappealing, i'm more of a dark polish kinda gal in general, so I decided to go for black one with gold sparkly bits. I think you'll agree it looks pretty amazing in the bottle!
The first thing I did when I got home, was to go straight for this polish and get painting. Ew. It was like I'd stumbled across some sort of nail exfoliant! The first layer was horrendous - patchy as hell with all the little 'sand' particles resting at the base of my nail . I waited a while and tried again, this time making sure the brush was dripping with the stuff...not really any better.
First time around, I have to say I strongly dislike this. It was so 'meh' that I didn't even bother to let it dry, subsequently some of it ended up on my jeans as I was hitching them up. Whatever is left on my nail feels like sandpaper - very useful if you work for Wickes.
I decided i'll try layering, as to be fair it does say to use a base coat but I was in such an excited rush, I skipped that part. Will give this another shot tomorrow and see if I can grow to love it - it is Barry M after all!
