Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint

I LOVE Barry M!!!!

I've been using them for years and I'm pretty sure I own practically every colour there is, so, when I found out that they were bringing out a new product, I knew that I just had to have it!!!

Gelly Hi Shine comes in 9 different colours and gives an extra glossy finish.

Up until last Christmas I had Gel nails done every 3 weeks and had been doing for about 5 years, aside from not having to worry about the colour chipping after a few days, one of the main things I loved about having Gels was how glossy the finish and how your nails still managed to retain that 'just left the salon' look a week later, so I was more than a little bit excited to give this a whirl!!!


I decided to go for 'Plum' a gorgeous dark purple shade, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before that purple is my all time favourite colour and when it gets to winter, the darker the purple, the better!!

Gelly Hi Shine comes in the signiture see through 10ml bottle with the only difference being the silver lid and writing on the bottle, I really like this little difference as I think it makes it look like a high end product :)

This nail polish applies like an absolute dream! No streaks, no bubbles, just a dead easy application, I didn't even get the dreaded overspill I usually get when applying nail varnish!

What I love about this nail varnish is that it looks pretty standard in the bottle but once you apply the polish onto the nail you see how glossy and thick (a nice thick!) the texture is.

This is after applying one coat of Gelly Hi Shine, as you can see just one coat has given glossy, full coverage.

This is after 2 coats, you could definetly get away with just applying one coat but I always like to apply 2 to get a lovely final finish.


My nails looked gorgeously glossy and shiny so I was in two minds whether or not I needed to apply a top coat, in the end I did apply one a couple of hours after painting my nails, I needed it to last for 2 days without chipping so I thought I might as well whack a coat of clear on!

 

 

This is with a top coat applied, as you can see, the colour still looks as shiny without!

 

 

Overally I'm incredibly impressed with this product (but when it comes to Barry M, I can't imagine being anything else!) goes on like a dream, leaves a lovely finish and is under £4!!

 

I've been looking at the other shades since using this one and there's a beautiful red shade which I think is going to be my next purchase!

 

I picked mine up in Boots but you can also buy from Superdrug and Barry M's website (www.barrym.com)

 

 

 

I know I put a top coat on but I had to share this with you, this photo was taken 4 days (that's right 4 days!) after I applied the nail polish and as you can see, it's not even started to chip around the edges!





Affordable, professional looking and long lasting, what more do you want from a nail polish?
