Pink Wednesday: Barry M Pink Nail Effects

After buying the Barry M Pink Instant Nail Effects a while ago now, I haven't had a chance to use it very often. I know you must be bored of the posts on it by now, but I still wanted to say a little something about it!


This is with one coat of Collection 2000 BMX Bandit and one coat of Barry M Pink Nail Effect. 


I only used one coat of the BMX Bandit as I didn't think it needed two if I was just going to cover the polish anyway. This is an old polish, but it's the first Collection 2000 polish I've tried before. It's a cross between a blue and a purple shade. I love this colour just on it's own! It applied easily and covered well.


I then added the Instant Nail Effects.

I've tried many different crackle brands now, you can see my comparison here. I think I've gone off the Barry M crackle polishes. I don't like how they crack compared to other brands such as Models Own. You can see from the pictures, there are a lot of wide gaps between the colours. I prefer more of an even layer of crackle. 


What do you think?

Are crackle polishes still on trend, or are you over them now?

I saw the pink crackle polish not long ago but I wasn't sure how to wear it :)
I love it over the soft blue though - it makes such a fun look!! x

my bf just bought me all the Barry M crackles but I already had the black. was kind of over it though seen as the formula has got more clumpy and gloopy, didn't look too good on the nail!

liking the new colours though, i know what you mean about the way it cracks though, theres something about it that just seems.... different!

Radiant Make Up - I always find it hard deciding what to put crackles over! I never know what it will look like!

Carly - I keep buying new ones even if the trend is getting old :)

Shel - Another UK blogger finally! :)

Olivia - Thank you!

Lacquertopia - Lucky! You got spoilt! I've heard a lot of people's have gone gloopy, mine seem to be ok so far though.

I think that they're still in. Heck, I haven't even gotten around to getting one and I will be bitterly disappointed if they're suddenly over ;)
