The Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint is designed to deliver a professional-looking manicure from the comfort of your home. Its high-coverage formula means you typically only need two coats to achieve opaque, rich color, even for lighter shades like 'Pear'. The wide, easy-to-use brush is a standout feature, allowing for quick and precise application, minimizing streaks and making it easier to cover the entire nail surface in just a few strokes.
This polish truly shines in its ability to mimic a gel manicure. The 'Hi Shine' aspect is evident, providing a glossy, plump finish that looks professionally done. For best results, always start with a clean, prepped nail surface. The manufacturer explicitly recommends applying two coats of the nail paint over your favorite basecoat and finishing with a quality topcoat, such as Barry M's Plumpy Topcoat. This layering technique is crucial for maximizing both the gel-like shine and the polish's longevity. Without a basecoat, you might experience faster chipping or staining, and without a topcoat, the high-shine effect might diminish quicker.
The 'Pear' shade is a distinct green, offering a fresh and vibrant look. The polish performs equally well on natural and acrylic nails, making it a versatile choice for various users. Its quick-drying nature (though specific dry times are not stated, it dries efficiently enough for home application) allows for quicker transitions between coats and less waiting time overall.
Proper application and care will ensure you get the most out of your Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint.
Prepare Nails: Ensure your 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 preferred basecoat. Allow it to dry completely.
Apply Nail Paint: Apply a thin, even first coat of Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in 'Pear'. The wide brush helps achieve good coverage. Allow it to become tacky but not fully dry before proceeding.
Second Coat: Apply a second thin, even coat. This usually provides optimal opacity and enhances the 'gel-look' finish. Allow this coat to dry.
Apply Topcoat: Finish with a clear, glossy topcoat (like Barry M's Plumpy Topcoat) for added shine, protection, and extended wear. Ensure the topcoat seals the free edge of the nail.
This nail paint is designed to be compatible with both natural nails and acrylic nails. It adheres well to both surfaces, delivering the same high-shine, gel-look finish. For other artificial nail types (e.g., gel extensions), always perform a patch test or consult a professional if unsure.
Storage: Store the nail paint bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps maintain the formula's consistency and prevents premature drying or thickening.
Maintenance: To prolong your manicure, avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water exposure where possible. Wearing gloves for household chores is recommended.
Removal: Remove with standard acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover. Soak a cotton pad and gently wipe away the polish.
