Review | Barry M's Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint


I've been reading and hearing a lot about the wonders of gel nail polish lately and when I saw the beautiful range of Barry M's Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints I couldn't resist purchasing a few to try.

GNP13 Papaya

 
GNP11 Dragon Fruit


Pros
  • Long-lasting - nail polishes normally chip within a day of wear on me, but these lasted about a week before the first signs of wear.
  • Shiny!
  • Good range of colours and shades.
  • Easy to remove.
Cons
  • Some aren't as glossy as others.
  • You need to put on 2-3 layers to get a decent colour pay-off.


These nail polishes retail at just £3.99 each and you can purchase them from your local Boots or Superdrug shops in the UK. You can also purchase purchase them directly from their website here. They ship internationally :)

Are you a fan of gel nail polishes?
