Nail Polish Swatch: Barry M - Blue to Lilac (UV / Solar Reactive)

This polish alongside the other UV reactive is the first release from Barry M since the buy out by Warpaint.

The colour change is definitely there for this polish although it is quite slow to react and colour change is subtle. But that may be down to me living the Northern England and it is May so not height of summer.
