Barry M Gelly Nail Varnish in Pomegranate and Pink Sapphire Glitter



Hellloooo,

I was having a bad day the other week so decided to treat myself to a few bits and bobs from Boots whilst on my lunch break from work. I’m always drawn to the Barry M products when I want a little make up fix as their products are so cheap so you won’t feel bad about splurging! In particular I really love the Barry M nail varnishes and these two shades caught my eye straight away.


Pomegranate is a deep red/dark pink colour and is from the Barry M Gelly range (£3.99). I really like my varnishes to be super shiny so I was looking forward to giving this one a try as it is meant to provide a  hi-shine finish similar to that of a gel. I only needed to use one coat as the consistency of the polish is quite thick and it also didn’t take too long to dry which is always good for a smudger like me! I really love the colour but I was a little disappointed to find that the finish wasn’t really any shinier than any of the other normal polishes that I have. For that reason, I don’t think it’s worth paying the extra £1 for a Gelly polish unless you really like the colour and it isn’t available in the normal range.



Pink Sapphire is a glitter nail varnish which also has a dark pink base (£2.99). I wouldn’t wear this varnish on its own as it is quite sheer but it is fab for adding a bit of sparkle to a manicure and I think it goes really well with the Pomegranate shade. The only trouble I have with the glitter polishes is getting them off again but I definitely think the finish is worth the extra bit of hassle!

Have any of you guys tried these colours? Which other Barry M polishes would you recommend?

Thanks for reading xx

  4. @Isa I think Barry M do ship to the US if you buy from their website but I'm not sure what the cost is like. Otherwise have you tried eBay? I love the glitter polishes and would definitely recommend them if you can get hold of them :)
