Hey guys!
So, as you may remember from my Girl Night In post, I do
not do very well with painted nails, however I have heard so many good things
about the new Barry M Sunset Daylight Curing Nail Paint. Although there were
many good reviews on this nail paint, I still did not want to try it as I knew
that I would still probably chip it within a day. It wasn’t until I was at
work, and a friend of mine had the nail paint on and had so many compliments on
it, it did look beautiful. Not only that, it lasted so long on her! After this...
I had to get it! So I thought I would do a first impressions post.

Barry M’s new Sunset
Daylight Curing Nail Paint and Topcoat deliver the look and resilience of pro
salon gel nails without a UV lamp or the expense! All you need is a Sunset
colour and the Sunset Topcoat – no need for a basecoat as the special
formulation bonds to the nail like a gel in daylight but can still be removed
with a regular remover. Hi shine, long lasting gel nails have never been so
easy!
Colour
I love the colour! I think that was one of the main reasons
that pulled me in. They’re lovely and summery adding a pop of colour to any
outfit. I went for ‘Peach for the stars’ and ‘Fuchsia Generation’. I love the
names... they’re so creative and brought a smile to my face when I read it,
(and a little sing song!) it was very hard choosing colour to go for as they’re all beautiful, so
if the nail paint lives up to its expectations I will defiantly be getting them
all!
Formulation
The nail paint was so easy to apply. I actually think that
it was probably the easiest I have every applied, I usually do the left had
perfect but paint the whole finger when it comes to my right hand! It wasn’t too
liquidly so that it ends up everywhere, but not too thick so that it’s hard to
apply a thin layer.
Drying time
In regards to drying time, it was so fast! I didn’t feel as
though I had to wait ages to apply each layer, or stand around waving my hands
around like a lunatic. However, that in mind, a friend of mine said that she
waited ages for hers to dry. When I applied mine I was watching Game of Thrones
and was hooked, so it did not feel as though I was waiting. My advice would be
to watch TV or do something that doesn’t require your hands so that it does not
feel as though you’re waiting for ages.
Price
Personally for me, I do not think that the nail polish is
cheap for everyone. Each nail paint is £4.99; however the colour works best
with the top coat, making it £9.98 for the set. As that’s just one colour it
may not be easily accessible for all ages. On the other hand (no pun intended), it is suppossed to be an alternaieve to salon gel nails, so it is so much heaper, plus the fact that you can use over and over again so the price is kind of justified.
I will report back next week on how well this has lasted! Fingers crossed I've found the one!
