The Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint is designed for easy application and provides a salon-quality finish in the comfort of your home. To maximize its performance, start with clean, dry nails, ensuring they are free from oils or old polish. Apply the nail paint in thin, even coats. For a truly opaque and plump finish, 2-3 thin coats are typically recommended, allowing each coat to dry partially before applying the next. The magic truly happens when you pair this nail paint with the recommended Barry M Plumpy Topcoat, which amplifies the high-shine, glossy, and plumping effects, extending the wear of your manicure. This nail paint is perfect for achieving a vibrant, glossy look for everyday wear, special occasions, or simply to add a pop of color with a professional touch. The "Watermelon Juice" shade provides a lively pink hue that brightens any look.
Preparation: Begin by ensuring your nails are clean, dry, and free of any old polish or oils. Gently push back cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface if desired, to create a smooth base.
Base Coat (Optional but Recommended): Apply a thin layer of your preferred base coat. This helps protect your nails and can extend the wear of your polish.
Apply Nail Paint: Apply a thin, even coat of Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in "Watermelon Juice". Allow it to dry for a few minutes until tacky.
Second Coat: Apply a second thin coat. For deeper color and enhanced plumping, a third thin coat can be applied. Ensure each coat is dry to the touch before proceeding.
Topcoat (Highly Recommended): Finish with the Barry M Plumpy Topcoat for the best results, maximizing shine, durability, and the gel-like effect. This also helps to seal the color and protect against chipping.
This nail paint is specifically formulated to work optimally with the Barry M Plumpy Topcoat to achieve its signature gel-like finish and extend wear. While it can be used with other standard base and top coats, the best results are seen when paired with the recommended Barry M products.
It is compatible with standard nail polish removers for easy removal.
Storage: Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent the polish from thickening or drying out.
Removal: Remove the nail paint using any standard nail polish remover and a cotton pad. No special soaking or scraping is needed, unlike traditional gel polishes.
