Prep Your Nails: Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free from any oils or old polish. Lightly buffing the nail surface can help with adhesion.
Base Coat (Optional but Recommended): Apply a thin layer of a clear base coat to protect your nails and create an even surface.
First Color Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of Pink Lemonade nail paint. Avoid overloading the brush to prevent streaking or pooling.
Second Color Coat: Once the first coat is dry to the touch (typically 2-5 minutes), apply a second thin coat for enhanced color depth and opacity. Most users find two coats provide the best coverage and gel-like appearance.
Topcoat (Highly Recommended): For maximum shine, longevity, and a truly plump finish, apply a layer of Barry M's Plumpy Topcoat or your preferred high-shine topcoat.
Drying Time: Allow ample time for your manicure to fully dry, especially after the topcoat. Avoid strenuous activities with your hands for at least an hour.
This nail paint is ideal for achieving a polished look for work, adding a fun touch to weekend outfits, or for events where you want a durable, eye-catching manicure without the commitment or removal process of traditional gel polish.
No special setup is required for the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint beyond ensuring your nails are clean and prepped for application. Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure the pigment is well-mixed.
Base Coats: Compatible with most standard nail polish base coats.
Topcoats: While designed to deliver a gel-like finish on its own, it performs best when paired with the Barry M Plumpy Topcoat for enhanced shine and longevity. It is also compatible with other high-shine or quick-dry topcoats.
Nail Type: Suitable for natural nails. Not designed for use on gel extensions or acrylics as a base color, but can be applied over them if desired.
Storage: Store the nail paint upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures can affect the formula's consistency.
Sealing: Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the polish from drying out and to maintain its consistency.
Application: Clean the neck of the bottle with a cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover if polish builds up, to ensure a tight seal.
