Does anyone here use Barry M nail paint? if yes, would you recommend it?
They have some lovely colours, but after wasting money on Max Factor nail polishes a couple of weeks ago that chip really easily in a matter of hours, I am loathe to shell out on another rubbish brand.

Rimmel doesn't have the same colour range as Barry M though.
Thanks anyway :)

Wow, starting to feel invisible here! Someone must have tried it? Any more opinions?
Yeah I've tried it and it's as good or bad as all the others in my opinion.
Key your nails first by lightly smoothing them, use a basecoat and paint the tip edges of your nails to seal it.
I really would help but I have no nails. I keep getting my teeth stuck in them. But maybe seeing this on the latest posts will drum up some answers for you.

I always use base and top coats but the Max Factor stuff I mentioned was the absolute worst i've ever bought, it chipped with me just typing!
Perhaps I should try getting a cheap bottle on eBay(when that site finally works again) and just go from there.
Thanks FrogNog and Wolf.

Just an update for anyone who may be interested.

I ordered two bottles of Barry M nail paint (Gelly hi-Shine) and they arrived today. I painted my nails and have so far washed up twice (no gloves), vacuumed, done a little bit of gardening, done some laundry and a few other household tasks and no chips have occurred at all :)

I will be buying this brand again in future!
Only just seen this Daffy - yes, I use Barry M as you great range of colours and the nail paints really do last.

Best of all really affordable so you can have a huge wardrobe of colours.
I use a Barry M Gel varnish, but I have false acrylic nails.. all varnish stays on them and never chips. When I used to paint my own nails, I always found that expensive brands chipped much more than cheap brands, even with an expensive Sally Hansen Diamond shine top coat applied! I love my acrylics, varnish stays put for weeks.
Question Author
I'm really happy with it :) I didn't mind paying a few pounds for the bottles as a test, as you say it is very cheap, so no real loss if it was rubbish. I am now hooked and will be looking for somewhere to store all my lovely colours I plan to buy, my current space is full. I may even have to cull some existing ones and give them to my daughters. lol ;)
I have the Barry M gel in Watermelon. I am often asked by people what brand it is, it's a nice sort of teal colour.
Question Author
I shall have to look that one up knowabit, i'm quite partial to the colour teal myself :)
I had a favourite Chanel one, and I had a some spare cash to go and treat myself, and they've stopped making the colour!
've always found the Barry M range to be very good value. Good choice, good price. Go for it Daffy ...
Maybelline is also very good.

I shall definitely sign up, thanks for the tip mamya. Thanks everyone else for the advice too.
Thanks for the tip about Barry M nail varnish Daffy - must try! I wear nail varnish all the time I usually buy mine in Portugal in the chinese shops over there - cheap as chips and sticks like glue! Trouble getting it off though ... better than No 7 brand that really is rubbish :(
Daffy - Barry M is so cheap they are almost giving it away
Live a little get two bottles ;-))

I got 2 in the post this morning and have just purchased another 6 on eBay, including the colour recommended by knowabit :)
I have quite a few of Barry M gelly shine range, I particularly wear the mauve/lilac colour all the time. Certainly far better than the Opi I've splashed out on in the past.
