Barry M Cosmetics Gelly Hi Shine Gel Nail Paint, Shade Pink, Watermelon Juice

This is the first time I've tried the Barry M Gelly Nail Polish range. I chose the shade Hibiscus. It's a lovely purple shade and accurate to the shade on the bottle.I'm really impressed with this nail polish. It looks great on my nails, replicates the gel look really well and has lasted much longer than many other polishes I've tried. I used it alongside Barry M All in one Basecoat, Toapcoat and Nail Hardener so that may have helped with longevity and it's definitely a combination I'd use again.I got 4-5 days out of this polish before it started to show very slight signs of wear at the ends of my nails. That's really good going for me as I'm not particularly kind to my hands and I'm forever washing them. After another fresh top coat on day 4, I got a few more days out of it too, so it was a full week before i even thought about removing and replacing it.I like the applicator brush since it was easy to use in terms of accuracy. I'm really not that great at painting my nails so this is important to me. I found the polish to be quite fluid when applying it so had to wipe plenty of excess off the brush before using it but it dries thick (the attached photo is just one coat of colour) it covers my nail ridges well and has a really glossy shine to it, even without a topcoat. It's now become my favourite polish in my collection and at such a bargain price the only thing I need to decide now is which shade to try next.

2 coats gives the nails a lovely shine and they look whiter on the tip.Dries quickly and no lamp or anything required.:0)

Forest green colour was darker than I expected - looks quite close to black when on. Cool colour, but not quite what was looking for!Nice smooth finish though and lasted about 6-7 days with minimal chips

i literally love the colour its amazing and lasts a pretty long time. also only takes one stroke/layer to cover your whole nail so quick to get done

Great colour and coverage. Value for money

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but it’s so thick I’m struggling to apply it without it going globby.Disappointed because the colour is beautiful

Absolutely gorgeous colour, not bright and 'in your face,' not that I don't like brighter colours it's just that this is a colour for those days where you want a more muted shade. I have ordered so many of these shades, bright, muted and nude type colours so will review accordingly as I use them. Please bear in mind that the results everyone gets with any polish, does depend on your application, whether a base & top coat is used, nail beds and drying time/patience etc. For me, I usually buff and shine my nails once a month or so but at the time of using this I did not so have a few slight ridges. I applied two coats, shaking the bottle periodically to keep the colour uniform and allowed extra drying time between coats. I found the brush covered my whole nail pretty much but then again, it does depend on the width of your own nails on if you'd get the same experience. I'd say that the drying time is pretty quick too but I do like to take my time when indulging in beauty regimes and self-care. I found that some of the polish chipped after day three but I would expect that from any polish given how active my hands are, some don't even last that long though. I'm overall impressed with the Gelly nail polish, it certainly gives a Gel-like finish in both looks and feel and will be buying more when my favourite shades run low. Quick delivery too.

So many people thought I had a gel manicure with this on. Doesn't last that long, started chipping after a few hours.

Great formula and shine. UK brand not sold in the US drugstores. Glad I can buy it here.

Bello

Se si potesse darei 0 stelle! Gli altri articoli ordinati sono arrivati giusti questi è di una marca completamente diversa colore completamente diverso e smalto semipermanente quindi tipologia completamente diversa!

Doesn't have enough metal balls to mix the polish? You can't hear it and it doesn't seem to do anything. Product is gluggy yet goes on streaky and thin, and two coats is too thick because it gets smudged off. Tacky finish requires a top clear coat of something else for shine. Nice color but the consistency is off.

..und die Farbe ist der Hammer!Freue mich sehr, obwohl die Versandkosten ziemlich ins Gewicht fallen ....Der Lack lässt sich super auftragen,der Pinsel ist genau richtig, die Deckkraft ist gleich beim ersten Auftragen ausreichend und der Lack trocknet schnell.Es wird ein Unterlack empfohlen- dem habe ich Folge geleistet und e voila: tolle Fingerfarbe !
