Barry M nail varnishes

Review of Barry M Nail Varnishes 
I picked up 2 new nail polishes last saturday ( purple and blue one, i've had the grey one for a while) Let me start of by saying how pretty the packaging is. Its not tacky or not over the top and to me Barry M couldn't of done better. Also you can see that the actual nail varnish itself isn't cheap, or looks like it wouldn't do its job. Now, let me to get onto what the varnish is actually like, the consistency is perfect (not too runny or too thick) which is great because i really hate it when a varnish is thick because it seems to dry up in the bottle a lot quicker and when a varnish is runny and it seems to take ages to dry or run down the side of your finger nails when applying. Applying the varnish is nice to, it just glides on. What caught my eye though was how bright the colours are. There is a wide range of colours and they are all so lovely. But some colours like the purple one (in the picture below) doesn't come up as bright as it looks from the bottle. It took me one coat of the grey varnish (picture bellow) to be its actual colour it shows in the bottle, for the purple varnish it took me THREE coats to get to the actual colour of the bottle. I don't mind applying two coats but three, it was too thick on my nails and you have to spend a good hour letting them dry properly with 3 coats. I think it just may be some colours that need more layers, i haven't tried each colour of the whole range so i can't speak for any other colours except the 3 bellow in this picture. For drying time it took about 5-10 minutes to dry but you still don't want to do any heavy work with you hands for about 20 minutes, because if you pressed hard enough you could still make a dent in the varnish. The varnish didn't start chipping till about 2-3 days after applying and it was only the very ends were the nail varnish came off a bit, i reckon it would stay for longer but i hate having nail varnish on when its chipped. Over all, for the price which is £2.99, i think its worth the money. I love the packing, theres a wide range of different colours and i think there worth there money :)
