Barry M Guava Gelly

Here is post #2 of the new Barry M Gelly Nail Paints – today I am showing you Guava, a super gorgeous bright teal. The new collection consists of: Mango, Guava, Key Lime, Blue Grape and Passion Fruit. These will be being released on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots.

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know how much I love my blues and greens… what could be better than a lovely bright teal 🙂 This polish was difficult to photograph, so apologies for using the flash in some of them, for some reason it was the only way I could get a colour-accurate shot.

I love this type of colour; if you couldn’t tell, my room is a very similar shade! It’s a gorgeous bluey-green teal colour and it’s just perfect for summer. I adore it. It’s super flattering on any skin tone and glossy and pretty and bright and just perfect. Need I say more?

Application:

Again like most of the Barry M Gelly Nail Paints, the trick to their application is quick, thin coats. Too slow and it drags, and too thick and it drags/doesn’t ever truly dry. With quick thin coats you get an even finish which dries quickly. The polish does indeed dry quickly and to a high shine. It probably doesn’t need a topcoat other than for longevity. It’s almost totally opaque at 1 coat, but I used 2 coats in all the photos.

Guava is a really summery shade in my mind, it’s definitely one that I’ll wear lots as I can’t get enough of it! What do you think of it? I think it’s such good value for such a staple colour.

Barry M Guava Gelly will be available in shops from June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots. It will retail at£3.99.
