Barry M Summer 2013 Gellys

Press Sample

Next month Barry M are adding 5 new shades to their amazing Gelly range ready for summer. I feel kinda bad teasing you with them this early but I really couldn't wait to show you... forgive me?! 

As always I've got only good things to say about these shades, the formula is perfect and the colours are absolutely stunning. Without a doubt, these are my favourite shades to come out of the Gelly range yet. I've split the polishes in to two batches - the warms and the cools - to do some nail art!

Passion Fruit is a coral which leans more towards orange and it's the best coral I've ever worn. Too often I find coral shades are very jelly like and almost impossible to get opaque but this one only needs two thin coats.

Mango is a creamy orange colour, again perfect in two coats. Beware though, this one's a stainer so make sure you wear a good base coat underneath.

On my index finger, I used Mango as a base and stamped using Passion Fruit and Konad plate M60. There's a gradient tutorial here and a striping tape tutorial here for the other nail art. It's all topped with a coat of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly.

My favourite of the 5 new shades is Guava - the aqua blue. I'm a sucker for blue nail polish, especially when it applies this easily, looks this good and doesn't stain my nails. 

The green, Key Lime, is also another stand out for me. It's so close to being slime green but it's just on the right side of bright and beautiful - one of the first bright greens that works with my skin tone. And how amazing does it look next to Guava? It did leave a bit of staining so use a base coat!

Finally we have Blue Grape, the cobalt blue. This is a great dupe for Revlon Royal and the most 'jelly finish' like polish of the bunch but it's completely opaque in two coats, unlike Royal which needs a lot of coats and tends to drag at the cuticles.

Again, we have a gradient tutorial here and a striping tape tutorial here and it's topped off with a coat of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly.

These new shades will be available in Superdrug on June 5th and Boots on June 12th.
