The Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint is designed to deliver a high-gloss, plumping finish that mimics a salon gel manicure. For optimal performance and a truly long-lasting, chip-resistant manicure, careful application is key. Begin with clean, dry nails, free from oils or previous polish. Applying a base coat from the Gelly Hi Shine collection can further enhance adhesion and protect your natural nails. Apply two thin coats of the Party Ring shade, allowing each coat to dry for a few minutes before applying the next. This ensures an even, streak-free finish and maximizes the plumping effect. Finish with a Gelly Hi Shine top coat for added protection and shine. This process creates a durable, glossy manicure suitable for daily wear and special occasions, providing a vibrant pop of color without the hassle of a UV lamp.
Prepare Nails: Ensure nails are clean, dry, and shaped. Gently push back cuticles. You may wish to buff the nail surface lightly for better adhesion.
Base Coat: Apply one thin layer of a compatible base coat. Allow to dry completely.
Color Application: Apply a thin, even coat of Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Party Ring. Allow to dry for 2-3 minutes.
Second Coat: Apply a second thin coat for full opacity and enhanced gel-like effect. Allow to dry completely.
Top Coat: For extended wear and ultimate shine, apply a compatible top coat from the Gelly Hi Shine collection. Allow to dry thoroughly.
This nail paint is designed to work best within the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine collection (base coats, top coats). While it can be used with other brands, using complementary products from the same line is recommended for the advertised 'gel-like' finish and longevity.
Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature thickening or drying.
Application: Always apply to clean, dry nails. Avoid applying thick coats, as this can lead to bubbling and longer drying times.
Removal: Remove with standard nail polish remover. No special soak-off procedures are required. Ensure complete removal to prevent staining or residue buildup.
