Barry M Gelly Nail Effects

Barry M is a popular UK cosmetic brand. It is known for its affordable and fashionable cosmetic products. Their gelly nail effects are highly raved and I have been wanting to try them out.

The shipping cost and restrictions of these gel-like nail polish have made purchase quite difficult. Glad to find out FTB Beauty(a beauty online store based in Toronto, Canada) carries this brand and they have free shipping throughout August which makes it even a sweeter deal.


Papaya

Grapefruit


Papaya


Papaya is exactly the name suggests. In real life, the color is a bit more vibrant. May look like a light peach in the pictures. 

Grapefruit

Grapefruit looks like a soft Barbie pink in the picture but in real life, it looks much more vibrant and even a bit neon. 


These gelly nail effects are super shiny and relatively faster to dry than regular ones. Colors are so vibrant and pretty. Perfect for summer. I find them quite streaky when applying the first coat and I applied 2 generous coats. 

Overall, very happy with this brand of nail polish. Got mine for CAD $7.50 each. Price is very comparable to Essie. Have you tried any Barry M products?

    2. yes, I jumped for joy when I found out the free shipping this month too. Usually they charge $8-10 for a small order so this is such a nice bonus. Hope you will like yours too. Can't wait to see what shades you got.
