The Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint provides an excellent user experience, offering a smooth application thanks to its wide brush. The formula glides on easily, delivering high pigmentation and an immediate glossy finish. When applied as directed, with two coats over a basecoat and sealed with the Plumpy Topcoat, it truly mimics the coveted 'gel-look' without the hassle or equipment of a traditional gel manicure. The 'Blue Guava' shade is a vibrant blue that stands out. It's ideal for both everyday wear and special occasions where you want your nails to make a statement. The long-lasting nature means less frequent touch-ups, making it a convenient choice for busy individuals.
Prepare Nails: Ensure your nails are clean, dry, and free from any old polish. Gently push back cuticles and file nails to your desired shape.
Apply Basecoat: Apply one thin, even layer of your favorite nail basecoat. Allow it to dry completely.
Apply First Color Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Blue Guava. The wide brush helps ensure smooth coverage.
Apply Second Color Coat: Once the first coat is dry to the touch, apply a second thin, even layer of the Blue Guava shade for full opacity and enhanced shine. Allow this coat to dry completely.
Apply Topcoat: For the best, most durable, and shiniest finish, apply a layer of Barry M Plumpy Topcoat. This will help seal in the color and extend wear time.
This nail paint is compatible with most standard nail polish basecoats and topcoats. However, for the signature 'gel-look' and optimal longevity, the Barry M Plumpy Topcoat is specifically recommended.
Storage: Store the nail paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent thickening or discoloration.
Shelf Life: Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent air exposure and drying out.
Removal: Remove with any standard nail polish remover. For best results and nail health, use a non-acetone remover.
