    Yeah i seen that but i think it looks like it has more green to it.

    wow I'm loving the finished effect but not sure I'd have the patience :rolleyes: anyone tried it?
    it is not fun :p i tried it a few times but it takes forever!!! plus you really have to practise it alot to get it perfect everytime. clean up is a pain the rear. both on the nails and cleaning the stuff you used to make the marbling mixture. its pretty but you'd want to have ebough time to dry it etc and use decent nail polish so it doesnt chip asap :)

    Gosh nail varnish were 2 for €12 in my local chemist so I decided to try them out, I assumed they'd be good. I was really disappointed in comparison to my usual Barry M nail varnishes. With one coat it looked crap, and ended up going really blotchy. I ended up needing to use 3 coats to get it looking decent. Hopefully it'll last well now.

    The colour is 547, Blue Monday.

    Yea gosh nail varnish isnt worth it at all, now they do have a very pretty rainbow glitter polish which i love for me toes, it tends to peel off though

    Same here.

    I've got '17 wicked' on me atm and I am very impressed with it. I actually prefer it to my Chanel polishes. :eek:

    It went on very easily, it has a thick brush which gives a nice even coat. The varnish itself is thick, but not too thick and not too watery.

    I find with my Chanel polishes I have to give 4-5 coats to get an even coat, that said, the brushes with the Chanel polishes aren't as thick as this and my Chanel polishes are watery (Paparazzi and Rose Paradise are the only Chanel polishes that are thick).

    This varnish has a slight sparkle to it (which I love)

    With flash - close up of the sparkle/glitter, you can see it is a blue-ish colour. The sparkle is only noticeable when you look closely.

    I love this colour. It's a rich, dark purpley black and my camera doesn't do it justice!

    According to the Barry M website these are the official stockists in Cork.


    The Powder Room
    New Street
    Banty County Cork
    Ireland South

    Therapy For Girls
    Unit H2 Market Gree Shopping Centre
    Middleton County Cork
    Ireland South

    I get mine in Boots so presuming there's a Boots in Cork you should try there too!
