BARRY M INSTANT NAIL EFFECTS DESIGN & REVIEW

  Hey everyone! Have you heard of Barry M. Instant Nail Effects Polish? It's new, from Barry M. Cosmetics. The company is based out of the UK so I'm not sure where or even if it's available anywhere else. I purchased mine off of ebay, straight from the UK. You can also get it from the Barry M. Cosmetics website. How it works is you apply any base color you like, let your nails dry, then apply the Instant Nail Effects polish & watch your unique design appear before your eyes! When you first apply the polish, it comes on like black polish, but then it quickly begins to break up & crack, creating a unique effect. I think it's pretty cool! And it's great for a day when you wanna quickly dress up your nails but don't have the time to manually do a design of your own!
  When using, you only apply one coat & do not overlap. Also, the size of the cracks depend alot on how thick you apply your coat. If you apply a thick coat, there won't be as many cracks & the cracks will be larger & chunkier. If you apply a thin coat, the cracks will be smaller. This was my first time trying out the polish & I wasn't very consistant with how thick I applied the coats. You can see the difference in the nails & how some of them have kind of a blocky effect & others have more of a cracked effect. I took some pics as I was doing my nails to capture the experience!

My Overall Review: I think this product is actually pretty cool! It lives up to it's name in that it does exactly what it says it does = Instant Nail Effects! I like how you can watch the cracking effect take place right before your eyes & you don't have to wait long either, the process is rather quick! It gives off a nice matte black finish & dried quickly. I had no problem applying a top coat & I didn't experience any smudging or smearing. I even received a few compliments, one lady even asked where I got my nails done! I love when that happens, lol. Little do they know, this design required no more effort than applying a coat of polish!!! I'm excited to experiment with this product some more & will definately post my creations for you all to see! I really hope this product becomes available in the US though, because the UK conversion rate along with the international shipping costs make this product a little too steep for me, it cost me $13.78 for a 10ml bottle. A little more than I'd like to spend on polish, even if it does have effects, sorry, but I'm on a budget, lol.

it's pretty similar to that. there's a few different brands of "crack polish" out there & the results vary between brands but i think the difference with this & crackpolish is that this gives more of a blocky chunky effect, depending on how thick the coat application is will determine how big or little the chunks are but crackpolish gives your nails more of the traditional "cracked" look. hope i make sense, it's kinda hard to describe, lol. i plan to do a post with crack polish soon & then i can put the pics up to compare. btw, thanx for joining! : )

Hey everyone! This is just a quick post to show you this french tip design I did using nail art paint & a dotting tool! I call them diva tips! I love french tip designs, unfortunately I don't get to do them too often because I prefer to do nail tip designs when my nails are at a longer length, but that's not always easy to achieve because I always end up breaking a nail or two before I get to my desired length, so frustrating, lol. Anyways, I hope you like! I did a video tutorial along with this (one of my first video tutorials so please be nice, lol). And please subscribe to my youtube channel! Thanks! : )   http://youtube.com/deriniti Zoya Sweet, Confetti Hint of Pink, Kiss Nail Art Paint: Black, White & Silver Glitter, Color Club Nail Art Lacquer Pink Please "Like" & Subscribe! : ) XOXO, Deriniti

Birthday Bling Nail Art Design and Video Tutorial and BPS Series Stamping Collection 01-10 Review

Hey guys! This is just a quick post to share with you my birthday manicure! I wanted something glittery & fun and this is what I came up with! I entered this mani in a nail art contest where the theme was "Bling in the Glitz and Glam" and I won first place! So excited because it has been awhile since I have entered any nail art contests! Not sure what I won yet, it's a surprise! How exciting! : ) The stamping plate I used is from Born Pretty Store 's first series of new stamping plates (Born Pretty 01-10). I got this series when it first came out. Some of the full nail images from this collection were too small for my long nails BUT I have noticed that Born Pretty Store has made improvements to this collection and made the images larger now. The old plates with the smaller images say "Born Pretty" followed by the plate number, the new ones say "BP" and then the plate number. I think it's great that they improved the plates because they h...

Hey guys! Every once and awhile I get inspired to recreate designs that I come across by other nail artists & this is one of those re-creations. If you follow nail art, especially on youtube, then chances are you have heard of Love4Nails, she has lovely designs & tutorials. I came across a design she did similar to this & I just had to try it! I tweeked the design a bit to fit my liking & to make a little different, but I still like to give credit where credit is do. This design was definately not easy to photograph because of the chrome polish, sooo shiny, but very pretty in person! : )  M57 - Wet N'Wild French White Creme, LoveMyNails Rosebud, Konad Black Special Polish XOXO, Deriniti
