Ok.... I totally have a confession to make... I thought I was going to HATE these polishes after seeing all the swatches and I wouldn't have actually bought them... (sorry Bazza)... so good job I won them because actually I LIKE them! I can't believe it LOL! They aren't a pleasure to apply I must admit, it's as though you have poured a load of coarse sugar into your polish and on the first coat they look most odd... but by the second coat (for which a sort of dabbing technique seemed best effective) they look a lot like icing, well the pink and white ones anyway; the black reminded me of coal or oil with gold nuggets in, this one was my favourite! They feel rough like concrete to the touch though, not the softer bumpiness you get with the Barry M Textured polish. With the white and pink I added a topcoat to smooth the finish and fix my bows in place, I liked the smoother texture and shine it gave, a lot like icing! :)

Oooh, these are really striking!
ReplyDeleteI think so! :)
DeleteOooh I'm not sure about these at all!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I can't blame you, as I said I would never have bought them!... but there's something about them... ;)
DeleteThanks for this post :) I love BarryM but I wasn't convinced about this range of nail polishes. Now I'll give them a go :)

Glad to help Jennie :) I was sitting on the fence just like you! Thought I would hate them but weirdly I don't?! x
DeleteAre they as much of a nightmare to remove as they appear?
ReplyDeleteThey are a bit of a pain, much like any heavy glitter polishes but with the added texture too! I'm a picker lol so picked off most of it then cleaned up with remover ;)
Deleteoh woww great post loved it I never thought that these nail paints look this much nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I didn't think so either! I'm as shocked as anyone lol :)
DeleteI just got the white n I hate it thought I would love it but going no
ReplyDeleteBut to remove soak a cotton ball in remover wrap on tin foil leave 15 mins take foil off give cotton a lil rub and nail varnish free no picking/ scrubbing required
Did you try topcoating them? I wasn't keen on the finish without it... they're defo not a favourite of mine but I will use them again at some point! :)
DeleteYes I do sometimes soak, but I enjoy the odd picking of polish lol!
Yeah tried top coat n still looked n felt really bad gave it my twin she loves it

ReplyDeleteBarry M screwed this collection in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree they could have gone in a better direction with them but this was obviously what the bazza team wanted from these polishes. I like the fact they are so controversial! Rarely happens in the polish world :)
