I think photos are telling enough of this Barry M’s new Crock Effect Nail Polish.

This is not my first disaster with Barry M Crack Polishes,

I am not sure why I always have disaster’s with Barry M’s Crackle Line.

Maybe I am picking up the faulty bottles.

It takes really longer to crack comparing to the other Crackle’s of Barry M

I prefer Barry M polishes as they are affordable and I like to try lots of different shades.

I was very surprised soon after applying the polish I just sit and waited to crackle than when I checked the if it cracked or not, I noticed that it worked on one nail and it did not on the others, and on my thumb it looks it is fallen to bits.

I seriously do not know what to say,  it’s quote affordable, if you want to try go and try but do not have high expectations.

Barry M is the only British Drugstore brand that follows the nail trends, so in a way, if want to try new affordable nail trends Barry M is the only brand to go and try on nails.

I had to wait for quite while to buy this polish, when they start to sell this in drugstore’s, my local Boots & Superdrug did not have this yet. Than I had to go abroad for about a while, when I am back about mid December, my local Boots did not have it yet, than I checked my local Superdrug's sold out, just few days before Christmas I finally got it from Kingston.  So this is my first try on this polish and did not really like the result, plus I have to wait for quite while. I am quite fidgety, can not wait,

So that’s what I think about this polish,It might not make everybody happy but I try to give my honest reviews on the product I use.

This polish is quite sheer, it looks like it has been poured acetone in it, you know before the stuff to get back your death polish alive, we used to pour acetone in our dry nail polishes we have the same problem here.

Brush is also thin and long

It is quite expensive for a drug store brand If I am not it is about 6 USD ( I am not sure on the price they have been given to me by my husband’s colleague)

You can not get enough with just one dip

One dip is not enough to paint one finger nail

you need to dip and paint dip and paint

by the time you dip and paint the rest of the nail polish starts to crack.

I am really disappointed

maybe it is just me who is having problem

In short words if you are expecting cracks like OPI, China Glaze it will not give you that look

Even Barry M and 17 is much better than this …

Maybe if I try to wear with a different brush it will work…

Anyway Sally Hansen and me never get on well, this also proved once more that we do not like each other…

 

 

So This is time for Sally Hansen to join the crackle club, I wonder  when high street brands like Zoya, Essie, Orly will join this club,  Models Own, Barry M already joined the club Color Club is the next to Join the club.

 

I am not sure if this crackle business getting excited or start to be boring,  depends on you actually, if you have lots of money to throw to drain go and buy all the shades from whole crackle series Smile Unfortunately I am not that rich, and I do not get freebies! If you are one of the guys that PR’s is your best friend lucky you.. 

Well beauty brands knows our weakest link, cosmetics,  if a has just launched crackle polishes few weeks later we hear  that b is also launching  crackle  polish, it is like you think i can not do it…

 

I do love crackle polish, but this crackle polish craziness is going on for the last 6 months and as I understand it will go until end of 2011
