Barry M Instant Nail Effects Reviews

I remember being really excited when this came out, not really being able to afford the OPI version on a student budget, this is a brilliant alternative. As goes with every nail varnish, not just Barry M The varnish is quick and easy to use and stays on for a good period of time with little chipping. A clear top coat is needed ...  Read the complete review

Let's face it, dramatic nails are always a talking point. Salon nails are getting more and more dramatic and distinctive, but at the same time let's face it; it's really quite expensive to have salon nails every week. Step in Instant Nail Effects. You give yourself a base coat, allow it to dry, and then cover with the Instant Nail ...  Read the complete review

I'm not really the type of person who spends massive amounts of money and time on their nails. It's just not something that has ever really bothered me. However, I did recently stop biting my nails. This move was purely so I could use this product! I spent a good six months watching my Mum applying this on top of her many different ...  Read the complete review

I was really pleased when I first tried this product. I purchased it from Boots, although the brand is readily available from a lot of shops and online too. I'd seen the more 'high end' brands come up with similar effects polishes, but didn't want to pay too much for something I would only use occasionally. My ...  Read the complete review

Most people love a product which does something completely new to anything they've seen before. Whilst I admit this does do something different and is the fun to use- the results aren't exactly great and it is not a product I personally would re buy. I tried the product over a lilac nail polish - I thought it might work best ...  Read the complete review

Your Personal Experience So I bought this excitedly, thinking I would never again need to be creative with my nails, particularly if there's a nail polish, that instantly does it on its own! I was wrong. The first time I applied this, I used a brown undercoat to perhaps give it that leopard element. While I must admit, it was ...  Read the complete review

This was a total impulse buy at the till in Superdrug, I thought it would be something a bit different. I applied one coat over the top of a bright orange polish and the shatter effect appeared within seconds. The polish dried quickly with a matt finish. I think it would have looked better with a gloss finish to be honest. I think I ...  Read the complete review

I saw a review for Barry M Instant Nail Effects in a magazine I was reading and I thought it sounded interesting. I have never had my nails done professionally and so I have never had any "special effects" applied to my nails and so I usually simply apply a bold block colour myself. However, the goal of Barry M Instant Nail ...  Read the complete review

Barry M is always a cheap nail varnish brand. I tried the pink version of this varnish and have to say that it works very well! It gives a very quirky effect but does exactly what it says it will do! When you compare this to the price of more expensive brands it is the much cheaper alternative, but looks just as good. It's also nice that ...  Read the complete review

This is a great product, perfect for that cracked effect which seems to be so popular at the moment. I bought this when it first came out, (after me and my friend trying it out on my existing nail polish in Superdrug) To be honest, it was a bit of an impulse purchase. Nonetheless, it is still a cool product to ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, I must admit I'm not really a 'nails' girl. My job doesn't let me have long or painted nails so I don't tend to take very good care of them. I'm not one to be thrilled by the possibility of a manicure, I don't own a nail file and I couldn't tell you what a French Manicure looked like. However, my best friend does insist on doing ...  Read the complete review

I've always loved painting my nails and nail art etc. so when I saw a friend wearing the black one over bright pink she told me it was Barry M's new Instant Effects polish. I had to buy it. I bought the white one ( so as not to copy! ) and tried it on in the shop over a dusky pink I had on at the time. This looked a bit manky at the time ...  Read the complete review

I bet a lot of people think that there's a lot of skill involved in applying this nail polish to your hands. Well the truth is, there just isn't! This is possibly one of the easiest nail polish's there is to put on. In fact, it has to be, and also, it means your skill in applying the colour underneath doesn't hav to be so great ...  Read the complete review

I bought this months ago, gave it a few tries then gave up. Since then it has sat in my cupboard gathering dust. When having a sort out of my junk i seem to hoard, i found this and through i'd give it another go. The label states that you should no over lap coats. I read this as not overlapping anything, i was incorrect. ...  Read the complete review

I am not a fussy person when it comes to my finger and toe nails a quick lick of polish in the summer months make them presentable. I do like being treated to nail extensions or a simple manicure at our local beauty salon however these treats are very rare mostly birthday occasions. I have gathered quiet a collection of nail polishes ...  Read the complete review

I bought these thinking my nails would look great - the way other folk's seem to do when they have these on... not the case. I think perhaps theres a knack to it which I just haven't got yet. *** Initial Impressions *** The consistency is slightly "wetter" than nail varnish as in...it's more like the consistency ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of Barry M products myself and after hearing about this 'crackled effect' nail varnish from a friend of mine, I instantly had to purchase it! After all, the price was so good that I didn't really have much to loose! I used it on top of a bright pink nail varnish and have to admit, was delighted with the result. I was ...  Read the complete review

I usually have very strong nails and since I have been pregnant and eating a lot more healthily, my nails have gone from strength to strength. They grow very quickly and are really strong and healthy at the moment so I thought that I would make the most of them by painting them and giving myself a little lift. I had heard about Barry M ...  Read the complete review

There was only so long I could resist buying this product. What with the countless raving reviews I read about the stuff on dooyoo, as well as being opposite to the Barry M stand in work, which was continually taunting me, I eventually caved and bought the Barry M Instant Nail Effects. I can tell you for nothing that this is definitely ...  Read the complete review

-My Introduction to the product- After hearing about this product from a number of people, I came across 2 for £5 in Boots so I got one for myself and one for my best friend. From previous experiences with Barry M Nail Polishes I was optimistic as all of the other colours I own are easy to apply, long-lasting and come in a variety ...  Read the complete review
