Barry M Spring 2013 Gelly Swatches and Review


Barry M Gelly Spring 2013

Today I'm excited to show you the 4 new additions to Barry M's Gelly range! 




I've absolutely loved the gellies ever since I showed you the first collection last year, so I was happy to see there was some new ones on the way, and the green especially caught my eye! 

Application on all was 2 coats. You may find you need 3 as they can be a little streaky, but adding an extra coat is no problem. I recommend 1 thin coat and then 1 slightly thicker coat. If you load the brush on the first coat, you'll end up with streaks. No top coat necessary because they're just THAT glossy!

First is Lychee, a nude beige. This is such a sophisticated shade, so if you aren't allowed bright colours at work this would be perfect.

Next is Dragon Fruit, a candy pink, with hidden shimmer, which we haven't seen in the Gellies before! I'm such a fan of hidden shimmer, even when it's not too apparent on the nail. I see it in the bottle and get overly excited. That's acceptable isn't it!?

Next is Greenberry, the one I'd been waiting for! It didn't dissapoint me. It's a minty-jade colour (if it's possible to be both mint and jade) and SO tropical. It makes me want cocktails! I think this is going to become one I wear a lot.

Lastly is Papaya, a bright peach. This one looks a little brighter on the nail than it does in the bottle.

Well, as I thought I would, I love them. They're just as shiny and smooth as the original Gellies and the colours are wonderfully tropical, and there's even a neutral shade thrown in there for those who aren't fans of brights, or just want something they can wear at the office.

Availability

Available in Superdrug from February 13th, and Boots from February 20th.
Also available on barrym.com from February 13th.
