Barry M Cosmetics Molten Metal Nail Paint - Fuchsia Kiss

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I am absolutely in love with this Molten Metal collection from Barry M. This crystal blue shade is absolutely stunning. Unlike many other glitter polishes, this goes on nice and smoothly, it’s not clumpy or chunky and even dries to a smooth finish. It sparkles and glitters away, I often find myself just wiggling my fingers and admiring my nails. People always ask me where I get my nails done when I’m wearing this and are surprised when I say it’s a £3.99 Barry M polish! Absolutely perfect!

This and Antique Gold are my very favourites, long lasting, very forgiving if not applied with perfection - they don’t get smudges and streaks. And celestial is just amazing colour - like anything I ever seen. Sort of petrol blue, with gold sparkle (but in sun and certain lighting its more holographic- with multicoloured sparkle). What I LOVE 💓 about that colour is that in shadow or artificial lighting its tonned enough to wear it to work (depends of course where You work, but its not very dark in Your face colour, more of neutral, even a bit greyish in dimmed light), but them it comes to life in sunlight, making it amazing nail colour for summer, where You want something That will not be too bright for work, but not too dull for “after hours”.My very favourite so far!Review of other colours:So I have tried few of them, and most Im very happy with, but GLACIER has dissapointed me somehow. I usually love anything sky/baby/light blue, and was excited to get light blue mettalic to match my car (yes, You’ve read that right, lol), but it turned out to be very see through with silver glitter, and over 2 thick layers I can still see nail tip through. (Its the middle colour on first picture). Now aside from main colours they also have different colour glitter, so that might help to decide between 2 colours. CRYSTAL BLUE - dark blue, has gold glitter, very good coverage - only 1 layer - pinkie on first picture. Its been on 4 days now, very little wear so far. Last one on that picture is PINK LUXE, with gold glitter, also nice coverage, but so glitter rich you can barely see pink underneath. It’s basically more gold than pink. Next picture is ANTIQUE GOLD (with gold glitter) and PINK ICE - with silver glitter. Last one is SUNBURST - that is one of holographic colours in the line - they have multicoloured glitter to create holographic effect in the light. Only 1 layer on the picture, no base or top coat.Most of those colours were on 3-5 days on now- there is minimal wear on edges, no noticeable chipping. Nature of multidimensional colour also makes it less noticeable when they start to wear off, so You can probably get away with well over week wear if put on properly with base and top coats. I have also tried BLACK DIAMOND-silver glitter. I wish they made this colour holographic as well, unfortunately it only has silver glitter. I originally started from that colour hoping for good substitute to COALMATES from OPI that has all lovely different colours sparkles, but also 4 times the price tag. Its still nice enough colour, just not what I was hoping for.All in all -nice colours if you like rich sparkle/glitter effect. Very long lasting. Easy to apply - no smudges, very forgiving if you don’t have steady hamds - especially PINK ICE - as is very nude with glitter effects- even if you go a little bit behind nail, or leave a little bit of nail not covered - it a very forgiving colour.

I usually don’t bother with nail varnish anymore because it always chips and seems kind of pointless. I had a special occasion that require me to look nice so I decided to go with this nail varnish as it was cheap n cheerful. I can honestly say I am pleasantly surprised. I applied the nail varnish on the Thursday night and it lasted a full 6 days before I saw the first chip. No base coat. No top coat. Just two coats of this beauty and my nails have been sparkling for days. Will certainly be buying more colours!!

I love the nail polish. It lasts for whole week without chipping. I have bought different colours and all of them last equally long. I've also noticed when removing the polish that my nails became healthier and stronger after using it. Maybe coincidence but adds up to my contentment.

I like this nail varnish, but I find it takes about 3-4 coats before there is a proper gold colour. Also the shade of gold is a little sour looking, it is not a rich gold. I have found it chips quite easily. Good for a one time use e.g a night out, but wouldn’t use it to wear for a couple of days.

I now have five different shades of these metallic varnishes and I like them a lot. As other reviewers have suggested, more coats are needed with the lighter shades, but the quality is overall very good. The problem with the product, and the thing that makes me give it an overall 3 instead of 5 stars, is that the application brush is far too broad, making application messy. The brush is wider than my little finger nails, so tidy application on those are impossible, and the wide sweep tends to make it hard to do the other nails without overlapping. I've bought some other brands of nail varnish recently, and these have the classic, much narrower, brushes and thus are much easier to use. The Barry M product is thus rather disappointing from that point of view.

In the photo and video I have the evergreen "green origin" as a base coat, sea turtle "under the sea" as a mid coat and holographic flare "molten metal" as top. And I loooove it

I've given 5 stars as its long lasting without using a base or a top coat. It dries quickly - it does need 3 coats so this is a bonus. What lets it down ever so slightly is the holographic effect, it is there, but it's not as obvious as I would like.
