So I was on the hunt the other day for a new nail varnish, as my currently collection is getting a little old, and picked up this lovely new beauty from the Barry M collection. I picked up the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in 'Blood Orange' for just £3.99! Absolute Bargain.
I've been a fan of the Barry M nail varnishes for as long as I can remember and this one didn't disappoint. It uses the same applicator stick as we're all used to but the nail varnish itself is slightly thicker to give that 'gel' effect. It can be quite gloppy to apply but just a couple brushes on the top of the bottle and all is fine. I found with this nail varnish that you only needed a single coat. Whilst a second coat does result in a slightly darker and more 'polished' look, if you only had a moment of time to apply this nail varnish, one coat would be just fine! When the nail varnish dries you end up with an incredibly shiny and clean look. I didn't even have to apply a top coat as I'm used to, the product was so shiny!
Now with all good things come the bad. This nail varnish is incredibly difficult to remove. The colour, as it is so bright, ends up all over your nails and around them. Even applying a base coat doesn't help that much. This is a major annoyance as I end up with red bloody fingers for the whole day (not the most attractive look).
But I think I can handle a couple red fingers when considering how cheap and shiny this nail varnish is! Definitely would buy again.
See you soon!
