The British-based nail care brand has revived its crackle effect nail polish in a brand new shade

British-based nail polish brand Barry M has relaunched a cult favourite with a brand new look.

For a limited time customers will be able to recall their 2010 nail polish look with its best-selling Crackle Effect (£3.99) product in a new metallic silver shade.

To use the product, consumers can apply on top of any nail colour to reveal the crackle effect.

Before its discontinuation, the brand stocked a range of colours in black, pink, gold, blue, orange, red and white, among others.

The product is now available exclusively from barrym.com.
