New Barry M Nail Paints


I've wanted these nail polishes for months, but was waiting for Superdrug to have a 3 for 2. Typically, because I was waiting for a 3 for 2, Superdrug didn't have one for absolutely ages! Anyway, the shades I bought were Blueberry, Grapefruit, Pomegranate and Amethyst Glitter. The Gelly paints are £3.99 each and the glitter is £2.99, but because of the offer, I received one of the Gelly nail paints and the glitter one for free (The glitter one was free because I bought two other nail polishes for my sister for Christmas). I also got 10% off because of my student discount, so ended up saving £8.58. I've swatched them all and really like them. Blueberry and Grapefruit take 2 coats to become opaque, Pomegranate takes 1-2 coats and Amethyst Glitter takes 2-3 coats. For a glitter, that's impressive! I'm going to paint my nails with Pomegranate first because the berry shade is beautiful!

  1. I bought the dark purple Gelly, I think it's Plum, the other day and I'm on the fence about it x

    1. Yeah, I've seen that some people aren't as impressed by the formula as they thought they'd be because they had high expectations. Thankfully, I bought them for the colours, and not the formula, so I'm pleased :) x

  2. I picked up Prickly Pear when they first came out and fell in love with it! Absolutely have to get Blueberry now though, I haven't seen it yet in my local but it's a lovely colour x

  5. They are beautiful colours! I have obviously not been paying attention recently, I have not seen the Gelly Polishes. Do they actually feel jellish? Does that even make sense?

    I hope they do!

    1. Yeah, I know what you mean :) The name is confusing - They're not like jelly nail polishes (which are sheer), but like gel ones (that's where the name comes from - GEL-ly), so the formula is slightly thicker than normal nail polishes and they're shinier x
