I had absolutely no idea that Barry M was bringing out yet more Gelly polishes, so when I started spotting them on a couple of blogs I just had to get them for myself. Huckleberry and Sugar Apple are gorgeous, gorgeous pastel shades that really compliment each other nicely as well as working brilliantly on their own.
Sugar Apple is an amazing minty green shade. It's just the perfect mint green so if you're looking for one then I'd definitely recommend this. It goes perfectly with a mint green top I featured on the blog recently. It's difficult to describe Huckleberry as it's a bit of a cross between a blue/lavender. It's not quite baby blue but it's almost there.
I can't get over how pretty these are and as I've experienced with the Gelly polishes before, they're super shiny after application. The two shades are really bright and vibrant so really make an impact. I was a smidge disappointed with the application as they went a bit streaky so I had to build the layers up a bit to get a good finish but with a finish like this I really don't mind.
They semi-survived the washing up test but there was a teeny amount of chipping. After a few days there was still only minimal chipping but at almost a week it was time to remove as the chipping got a bit too much. As I mentioned these polishes are super vibrant and I continuously noticed how bright they were when typing on my keyboard at home or at work as they'd just be shining away at me.
I think the two colours compliment each other perfectly and I love wearing them together but I expect they'd be equally as pretty on their own. They'd also make great accent nails alongside something more subtle. Barry M just continue to get it right with their nail polish selection, there is SO much to choose from and I can't wait to see what is yet to come too.
these are both gorgeous, I wish I could have painted nails for work! x
ReplyDeleteOh no that's rubbish and it's barely worth painting them for just the weekend!

Love the silk and aquarium ranges!
DeleteThese are lovely shades! I can't decide which one is my favourite which of course means I may have to get all three at some point.

Deletereally gorgeous colors. i love seeing pastel nail polishes, it's weird because i just recently discovered my love for them (oh i've been missing so much!)
ReplyDeletesometimes when i wear such vibrant colors i just wonder if they feel unnatural on my hands and i quickly move to something a little bit more subtle. but i love them nonetheless heh

DeleteI already got Sugar Apple, just need Huckleberry now! :) But I'm sad to see that the gelly formula is not as good as the old ones. ;(

DeleteThese are so pretty! I wish they had Barry M where I live as their nail polishes always look pretty.

Oh no I couldn't imagine not having it here, it's one of my faves!
DeleteIt just hurts me that we don't have Barry M where I live, I probably could buy all of the colors, they are so incredibly pretty. This Sugar Apple one, I just need to have this one, it's so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteso pretty but I don't believe we have Barry M in Canada :c
