is a line of magnetic polishes that unlike the other magnetic polishes readily available
the lids come in various patterns not just the typical wave pattern.
I picked up two shades Dark Silver and Burgundy and annoyingly only my Dark Silver works
and yes I tried everything possible to get it to work but the problem lies with the magnetic not
the polish as Burgundy works fine with the Dark Silver magnet.
That's my main problem with Barry M the inconsistency across the brand -
you never really know what you are going to get.
I have tweeted Barry M so I guess we shall just have to see what they say?

Dark Silver a deep metallic grey that is almost black, it has a high sheen finish
and when used with the provided magnet it produces light silver patterns
that compliment the deep grey background.
The magnet that comes with Dark Silver is the most typical of the designs as it produces a wave pattern
it's pretty enough and effective but like I said not the most stand out of the designs available.
The burgundy shade comes with a straight line pattern and the blue shade has a star/cross design.
I would like to collect them all but as I mentioned the inconsistency really puts me off.
I found the polish to apply well and dry quickly,
the shades are a little odd for a Spring/Summer release
but perhaps there is a reason for the deep shades,
maybe the design shows up best on a dark background?
Have you tried the Barry M Magnetic polishes or any magnetic polish for that matter?
Barry M Magnetic polishes cost £4.99 and can be found in various Superdrugs and Boots stores.
I had no idea they were launching magnetic polishes! I'm not sure these would be the ones I would go for first though, having not tried them before.

I agree :) as long as the magnetics actually work haha :)
DeleteI've tried the 17 one and I like the effect, I like the idea from Barry M of different patterns :)
ReplyDeletehttp://theredoneblog.blogspot.co.uk/
I agree the patterns set them aside :)
DeleteI have a couple of magnetic varnishes. To be honest, I'm not completely sold on the idea although I do always get comments when I wear them! I think I just prefer plain nails.
ReplyDeleteI with you on that :)
DeleteI like it! it´s very dark but special nail polish! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey always launch new things without any fanfare at all, they should really advertise more! I like the 17 Magnetic nail varnishes best :)

I know that is so odd isn't it? I haven't tried those but I think I will :)
DeleteOoh I had no idea that Barry M were releasing magnetic polishes! I like how they come in different designs but it's a shame that the burgundy one didn't work :/

ReplyDeletebutterfleyesblog.blogspot.com
I feel the same in all honesty :)
DeleteThese two were the only shades available in my store but I think they had quite a few more on the little leaflet I found about them. Shame about the magnet :/
ReplyDeleteWhat other shades did they show?
DeleteThe burgungy one i got worked fine.
ReplyDeleteWish I could say the same.
DeleteI've got the silver nails inc. magnetic polish, and I am soo golad I spent the extra money and brought that one it works really well and i always get loads of compliments on it!

I bet it is lovely :)
DeleteVery excited about these, I'm a huge Barry M fan! It's a shame about your Burgundy one though :-( Have you tried 17's (Boots)version of magnetic polish? That may be better, I've never looked into it :-)
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't but a few have mentioned them all in a good light :)
DeleteI saw these in my local Superdrug the other day, wish I'd picked them up now. They only had the red and black ones left, and now they've sold out!
ReplyDeleteThey look rather good actually.
I have tried and recommend 'The Saturdays magnetism polishes by Fashionista' they work really well, much better than I thought they would.

Aww that sucks that always happens to me haha :)
DeleteI will keep an eye out for that one :) thank you :)
I have the red one (and posted about it to show the magnetic pattern!) i'd take the faulty one back as the pattern is so pretty!!! x
ReplyDeleteDo you think they'd take it back? I thought you couldn't return cosmetics :(
DeleteI didn't know barry m did these! love the colours, definitely gonna pick them up xx

I hope you get them :)
DeleteWhen I saw these in superdrug today I was a little shocked because i'd heard nothing about them. I really wanted to try one but I had to fight myself away from the stand because I'd already spent wayy too much!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of magnetic nails but I'm not sure that the effect has enough...effect ha.

Wow! Putting the magnet on the lid is a brilliant idea! I can't recall any light magnetized polishes myself so I think you're right about the color selection.
ReplyDeletei bought the dark silver one and it didn't work! was so disappointed because it was £4.99...
