I've really been getting back into Barry M recently. They're so affordable and for the price they're actually decent quality as far as a high street brand is concerned. These 3 new Gelly pastel shades have been popping up on pretty much every blog I read so it's no surprise that I ended up adding them to my collection. I'm so easily lead! Oh, and keep reading below for a little giveaway I'm holding.
First up is Huckleberry, a pretty baby blue. Not something I would normally pick up, in fact non of these really are if I'm going to be completely honest. This is probably the one I like least out of the three. It just doesn't leap out at me and is far too pale for my liking. Rose Hip is a gorgeous super girly pastel pink which, although I like the colour, is not normally the shade of pink I would go for. It's so pretty on the nail though that I think it will become a spring favourite. And then there is Sugar Apple, a kind of minty pastel green. I almost didn't get this but I don't have anything like this already so I thought I would give it a bash. Thinking it would be my least favourite I'm quite surprised to say that this is my number one out of the three! It looks a little brighter on the nail than it did in the bottle and I think it's just perfect for spring.
The formula for each one of these is pretty similar. They are quite thick and the first coat applied quite patchy. It took a second and third coat to even it out but once dried it's opaque and beautifully glossy.
Because I'm so lovely and thoughtful I picked up an extra bottle of each of these polishes along with the super gorgeous and summery Gelly Hi Shine Lip Crayon in a stunning hot, hot pink which I'll be reviewing in a couple of days if you're interested to know what it's like. To enter simply follow the instructions below. Closing date is April 14th. Good luck!

I definitely agree with you, it is brighter but I'm glad as I prefer how it looks on the nail to the bottle :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Rosehip is very pretty, I got quite a few complements whilst wearing it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I think Barry M are spot on with these polishes :)
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty but a little on the pale side for me. No doubt it will grow on me though :)
