Barry M Magnetic Nail Polish in Dark Silver and Magnetic Red

I purchased the Magnetic polishes in Dark Silver and Magnetic Red at £4.99 each and I have to say I'm not massively impressed. They make some nice patterns that are different from the majority of magnetic polishes but in my opinion the magnetics don't seem strong enough and you need to hold them over the nail a lot longer than five seconds.

The red has a stripey effect magnet while the silver has a waves effect (The lids in the image have been switched). The stripey effect was much more noticeable and it was fun to switch them around on each shade.

The pattern is much more noticeable in the red polish, you might as well not bother with the Dark Silver shade. You need two layers to get the finished effect, allowing one to dry before applying the next and using the magnet.

Overall these are nice polishes and I like the fact there are different magnetic effects but they're a tad expensive!

  1. I love that you've given your true opinion here, I think I may try the red one but will definitely give the silver a miss. Thanks so much for being honest :) xx

  2. I'm so glad it's not just me that didn't get on with the dark silver one. I didn't think the effect was very noticeable either. Do you know of any other brands that produce better results? xxx

  4. It's a shame these didn't quite live up to the hype, I do like the wavy effect though :)

  11. I saw these in Boots the other day, I wish I'd picked them up now, as I went in again today and they're out of stock! :(

    Although I do agree they are quite expensive. & From your review they don't look worth the money either...

    I'm following your blog. Would be great if you could return the favour :)
