The Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint is designed for individuals seeking a high-gloss, gel-like manicure without the commitment or equipment of traditional gel polish. Its ultra shiny, high-coverage formula means you typically need only two coats to achieve opaque, vibrant color. The wide, easy-to-use brush contributes significantly to a smooth, streak-free application, even for beginners. For example, applying the first thin coat, allowing it to dry slightly, then following with a second coat will build up the color intensity and shine. The long lasting claim is best realized when paired with a quality basecoat and particularly with the recommended Plumpy Topcoat, which enhances durability and shine, mimicking the robust finish of a salon gel manicure. This polish is suitable for creating various looks, from a simple, elegant single color to a base for creative nail art.
To achieve the perfect manicure every time with your Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint, follow these steps:
Prepare Nails: Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free of any old polish or oils. Gently push back cuticles and file nails to your desired shape.
Apply Basecoat: Apply one thin, even layer of your favorite basecoat. This helps protect your natural nails and provides a smooth surface for the polish. Allow to dry completely.
Apply First Color Coat: Using the wide, easy-to-use brush, apply a thin, even coat of Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in 'Cactus'. Start from the base of the nail, stroke up to the tip, and ensure good coverage on the sides. Let it dry for a few minutes.
Apply Second Color Coat: Apply a second thin, even coat. This will build up the high-coverage and ultra shiny finish. Allow to dry completely.
Apply Topcoat: For best results and enhanced long lasting wear, apply one coat of Barry M Plumpy Topcoat. This will seal the color, add extra shine, and further mimic a gel-look finish.
Allow to Dry: Give your nails ample time to dry fully to prevent smudging or chipping.
This nail paint is suitable for both natural and acrylic nails, offering versatility for various users.
Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent thickening and preserve the formula.
Shake Well: Before each use, gently roll the bottle between your palms to mix the polish without creating air bubbles.
Clean Edges: If polish gets on your skin, clean it immediately with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover for a neat finish.
