I have to admit, I was a little daunted at the sight of this product.
Having bought it in a rush thinking it was a plain white nail polish. I got home and went to apply it and, with a perplexed look on my face, that it has a very strange consistency. I then removed the product from my nail and looked at the bottle again.
I had noticed the cracked effect on the applicator/lid and it dawned on me that it was one of these nail effect polishes.
After this incident, it had been tucked away in my nail polish drawer, only to be rediscovered again a couple of days ago. I thought to myself, "what the heck. May as well!".
I applied a base coat then two coats of Models Own Pink Punch NP036. Then it was onto the mystery polish. I read the instructions which are as follows:
1. Paint your nails with your chosen colour and let them dry. (Done!)
2. Apply a SINGLE COAT of Instant Nail Effects.
3. Watch the effect appear!
So I did as the instructions say and lo and behold, it worked! (Picture at the bottom of post).
As soon as I applied it, it started breaking up and creating this dried cracked paint look. Not the best description but it's the first thing that sprung to mind.
The negatives are that, as stated at the start, the consistency is somewhat gloopy. It did not apply well as it dries super fast. Another negative would be that it dulls down the original nail polish you have on. I put on a luminous pink and its now a darker coral colour.
My only positive would be that it's actually magical. Like Harry Potter style.
Overall, I don't think I would use it on my nails (fingers) as it's just too busy for me. But I would definitely use it on my big toes (bit too messy to use on all of the toe nails).
If you're in a rush and you want something a bit less boring, then definitely go for this as you only need one coat and you're off! Make sure to apply a base coat first though as it will not work on just your nail.
