Gold Effects by Barry M

This is a crackle polish which creates a shatter look on your nails.  I only have Barry M crackle polishes so I don't know what other brands are like.  I find with the Barry M polishes that they are quite thick so the crackle effect itself is raised up from the nails. 

The last time I used my Black Effects crackle polish I wore it over the last nail polish I wore which was a yellow (Big Yellow Taxi by Ciate).  This time though, the Gold Effects polish comes alphabetically after Gold by Barry M, so slightly pointless to layer the Gold Effects over the top.  So I broke protocol and layered the crackle over the Maybelline MNY polish I wore previously.  This is the effect it gave...


It is ok, not greatly dramatic I think.  It probably would look better over black more than any other colour.

I can't say that I am a huge fan of the crackle polishes (again I've only ever tried Barry M so I can't speak to the effects given by other brands).  I find the premise much nicer than the actual effect.

Next up is Gorgeous by Sinful Colors.
Until next time,
