A nail post for all you lovely girlies tonight :)
I have just painted my nails and decided to give my Barry M Croc Effects nail polish a second try!
(The first was an epic fail, my bad!)
Here's what I used:
Barry M Croc Effects (323) £3.99, available on Barry M's website and Boots (and possibly Superdrug?)
Minnie Mouse Nail Polish, shade 'Minnie' £1.99, from H&M last Summer
I LOVE this polish, and the Hello Kitty & Bambi ones that H&M brought out last year.
Seriously recommend trying H&M polishes, a bargain at £1.99, brilliant, gorgeous lasting colour with just 1 coat :)
Croc Effects :)
My right hand...not quite as successful :-/ I can only assume it was down to me being right-handed and not great at painting left-handed with as much neatness and maybe not using enough polish???
I would really recommend this polish :)
I love Barry M!
One thing I would point out (as I found out after my first failed attempt using this) is that nail polish must not be dry when applying this on top! As the bottle says, which I MAY have missed 'Wait 1 to 2 minutes until nails are touch dry. Do not apply to dry polish.'
Also, be patient...the effects do not start for a few minutes ;-)
What do you think?
Will you be buying this?

I love this effect! So pretty

Thank you :) I really like it. I was disappointed on first attempt as it all went VERY wrong and ended up coming off on everything I touched and just looked a disaster, but I thought I would try a second time and now I realise it was down to me not applying the Croc Effects when the other polish was 'touch dry'...oops! Should've read the instructions :)

@x Lace, Frills and Lipstick x - Oh no!! I always do that, lose little things like nail polishes and lipsticks haha! At least it is a fairly cheap one, if you do have to repurchase :)
Thank you for following :)
@Chloe Mia - I love it. The flash made it appear a bit lighter in the photo but it's a lovely coral-pink and so glossy :)
@Rachel - I know, when I first saw it I thought 'how could that possibly work???', I still don't know how...but it works! :)
@Bethan - I'm still not sure which I like best but this one is great :) I wonder what magic Barry M will create as their next Nail Effects polish...

I'm definitely going to try the croc effect stuff! Cute post :) x
