Lovely colour yellow but poor coverage
The yellow is a lovely bright summer colour, similar to a yellow Nissan duke, but it doesn't go on great. It's quite thin, the first coat will look streaky, but it also bubbles very easily. Great from afar, just don't look too closely at the finish

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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great coverage, long lasting and high shine.

Lovely nail varnish, very pleased with it. It goes on really well and easily - the brush fans out and each nail is covered with 3 easy swipes. And the colour is just what I was looking for, a subtle, silky white sheen which just brightens and whitens the nails, including toe nails. It gives a barely-there coverage with a clean and bright finish.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really brightens the nails and so quick and easy to apply.

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 !
