Barry M's 'Nail Effects' polish

Last summer while shopping in my local Superdrug I saw that Barry M had a black crackle effect nail polish, I hadn't seen any adverts about it, but I thought it looked great and I had to pick it up. I loved it, but only wore it a handful of times, and hadn't noticed it in the stores since. 
A couple of months ago a lot of other popular nail brands brought out crackle effect polishes and so I decided to dig out my Barry M one, but unfortunately it had completely dried up. So I went to Superdrug (I go there too much!) and bought their Nail Effects polish in black and blue, £3.99 each. (They also have it in pink and white) I've only worn the blue one once, (over a silver polish) but the black has been on my nails (almost) constantly since I got it, on my fingers and toes. My favourite colour to wear underneath is Rimmel's new-ish polish 'Aqua Cool' a gorgeous medium powder blue. 

 
































Just paint one thin layer over (completely) dry nail polish, and watch it crackle, it gives an awesome effect and I have had a lot of people compliment me on my nails, and ask how I did it. 
One thing to note is that the product inside the bottle will dry up quickly, so I make sure that I apply the polish quite quickly.


Edit: (24/9/11) 
My nail effects polish has since dried up, and I'm not able to use it at all. Which is a little disappointing. 
I haven't tried any of the more expensive ones like OPI or nails inc so I can't comment on them. But if they dry up quickly too, then I would certainly recommend to go for a cheaper version like Barry M.
