Today I am showing you the fourth of five Barry M Magnetic polishes released this month: Barry M Venus Sunset/Magnetic Sparkle Red,Barry M Neptune Sea/Magnetic Sparkle Blue, Barry M Moon Dust/Magnetic Sparkle Gold, Barry M Cosmic Glow/Magnetic Green Sparkle, and Barry M Super Nova/Magnetic Sparkle Multi.

Cosmic Glow is a little different from the first three, in that the colour is solid (as opposed to silver and gunmetal polish with coloured shimmer). It also contains holographic microglitter which is very pretty!

I’m truly loving these new magnetics, they blow all the previous magnetics out of the water with their amazing shimmer.

Hello everyone! If you didn’t see my message on the Imagination In Colour Facebook page, I am back from my holiday on the island of Barra, at last! I didn’t manage to post as much as I’d like to have done while on holiday due to a problem with uploading photos, but I’m back now!

I arrived back to a lovely surprise – three of the new Barry M Magnetic polishes on my doormat! I had already bought four of the five new ones before receiving the PR samples so some are samples, some are my own. The five are: Barry M Venus Sunset (Magnetic Sparkle Red), Barry M Super Nova (Magnetic Sparkle Multi), Barry M Moon Dust (Magnetic Sparkle Gold), Barry M Cosmic Glow (Magnetic Sparkle Green) and Barry M Neptune Sea (Magnetic Sparkle Blue).

Before I start, I wanted you all to know that the new magnetics are vastly improved in terms of formula, and they all have a sparkly-glittery effect which makes a wonderful change from what’s been in the UK market in terms of magnetics in the last few months.

The third Barry M Magnetic polish is this – a lovely gunmetal and black shimmer with a fishnet-style magnet. The pictures don’t do this justice. And sorry for the messiness of my nails this time!

This is just stunning on the nails! The pattern is fantastic, I can’t decide whether I prefer this pattern or that of Barry M Magnetic Blue. I think I’ll have to try this pattern on the blue… seems like the perfect combination! Anyways, Dark Silver applies a silvery-gunmetal grey, then the magnet pulls the black particles through to create this wicked 3D effect.

Application:

The photos show 2 coats. The polish does dry fairly quickly so be sure to get your magnet over it fast! If you aren’t familiar with how to magnetise your polish, Barry M have given us a great Magnetic nail paint tutorial. Basically, as soon as you’ve painted the 2nd coat, hover the magnet over your nail using the curved lip on the edge of the magnet as a guide to how much space you leave between magnet and nail. I think I’m getting the hang of magnetising now… I think!

And if you aren’t a fan of the magnetic look, Dark Silver does also look gorgeous as a normal polish:

A lovely gunmetal shimmer!

What do you think? The Magnetic nail paints are currently on sale in Boots, Superdrug and Barry M’s website, and retail for £4.99. Which one is your favourite?
