Gelly & No Ice Cream



Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint by Barry M £3.99 (Superdrug)

 

So finally I know its a shock but I have been branching out from Topshop Nail Varnishes, its hard as I love them and feel like I'm cheating on them when I wear a different colour (dramatic I know). I have had Shellac nail manicures in the past and couldn't fault them for the result it was shiny right up until I took it off and lasted for weeks. When I saw that Barry M were doing a gel version of their beloved nail paints I new I had to try it, Shellac is great but it damages your nails and can be really pricey. I thought wow shiny gel nails for £3.99 Il jump straight on that band wagon please!

Now it isn't because I'm biased or because I'm negative but I have to say this just didn't really do it for me. I found it patchy and sticky when applying and after using my normally top coat It chipped not long after. Maybe it was applied to thickly or I rushed it I'm not sure as I have seen some reviews where people loved it, for me it wasn't an immediate love. I will be using it again as I want to love this as the colours are lovely and I really love glossy nails, but I feel it may have to grow on me.

How did everyone feel about these? Did you love them or feel the same as me?
