'Magnetic' Nail Paint Barry M Review

Hi everyone!

 I have heard a lot about the new magnetic nail polishes which can create a pattern on your nails and so I went to Boots to buy some to review for you!

 Apparently how it works is that the nail polish has tiny metal particles in it and when it's wet, it reacts with the magnet to create the desired effect on your nails.

I liked the colour of the 'Magnetic Blue' which is a lovely midnight blue shade and I wanted the stripe effect so that's the one I got!

I read the instructions at the back which says:

1. Shake Well
2. Apply one coat and let dry
3. Apply second coat and IMMEDIATELY hover the magnet over nail for 5 seconds so effect appears.

I began applying the first coat and let it dry then I put the second coat on... only I found it difficult to apply the second coat then quickly hover the magnet in time so I got my sister to hover the magnet for me!!

It says hover magnet over for 5 seconds which we did but it did not give the stripey effect I wanted. So on the next nail we hovered the magnet for a few seconds longer....and it worked!!

Wearing the Barry M Magnetic Blue Nail Paint

  It's not the type of style I would usually have on my nails but I really like it! It looks creative and different and I think I would try a different pattern in the future. You may need a helper to hover the magnet if you're like me though!!



 

You can buy this from boots.com or barrym.com or find it at your local beauty retailer   (I bought mine for £4.99 from Boots)

Has anyone tried the other effects? Let me know what you thought!
