barry m - instant nail effects white♥

I purchased the new Barry M nail effects in white yesterday. They had the blue and pink one there too, but I was very good and just bought the one. I'm thinking this will look cool over pastels for spring and summer. Over the weekend I have been wearing 'four leaf clover' by china glaze which is really bright green. I tend to wear this when my poor little nails all snap as it is about the only brightly coloured nail polish I can face wearing when my nails are short. Weird but true.

Anyways onto the notd - notice the 'white' nail effects has actually turned YELLOW when I applied it! Why is this? I waited for the green to properly dry aswell. Oh well it's not too bad. I'm still not in love with these shatter type polishes, but I do like this white one better than the black one. I'll probably give it one more chance over a pastel nail polish before I make up my mind.
My nails all snapped! :(

So what do you think? Love or loathe the shatter/crackle nail polishes?

Thankyou for reading

  7. The yellow really goes with the green. I bought the pink shatter and I'm not really loving it but maybe I just need to experiment with different base colours to see what looks good with it.

  8. The white is probably quite a thin liquid which is why it turned that colour, be interesting to see what colour it turns over other shades.

    I saw Pink and Blue crackle polishes in Superdrug today, from Barry M, but I didnt get them as I'd rather a silver colour.

  11. China Glaze Four Leaf Clover is gorgeous!! But I've not caught onto the crackle effect polish...I'll probably end up loving it when it's not fashionable anymore.x

  12. I can't wait until payday. I think the Barry M counter will be the first place I go. I really want Peach Melba too. xx

  13. That is a bit strange- maybe it's because it is sheer and the green came through? But otherwise, I'm looking forward to trying all the colours! xxx

  18. It's a bit annoying that it turned out yellow, I wonder why it did that?
    I love the crackle nail varnishes and really want to try out the white one to see how it is. I also want to try the models own ones why they come out as well xx
