Barry M Summer Gelly Paint: Guava, Key Lime and Blue Grape

Today I went to spend my £35 love to shop vouchers that I got for a recent trip to Dunham Massey. Its so much nicer spending money that isn't yours, not as much guilt involved 


I bought loads from superdrug and boots. My local superdrug has the new confetti in (reviews to come soon) but not the gelly, but the superdrug in the Arndale has the new gelly in, and I am sure they are both out early but I'm not complaining.


It was really annoying, sat in the garden to paint my nails, and every time I finished and ready to take photos, the sun went in! Plus a curious 2 year old wanting to know what I was doing and wanting to help. 


This is one of the first shades that stood out for me, Key Lime, a brilliant bright lime green. The polish itself is quite thick, I could almost get away with one coat, but there were a few streaks so a thin second coat sorted it out. They take slightly longer to dry than normal nail polishes, but nothing too bad.


This was the other colour that I absolutely had to have. Guava is a bright teal, a perfect summery colour, if the sun could just last a bit longer than 2 days at a time. This was also quite thick and applied the same as Key Lime. This is my favourite out of the new summer range.


And finally we have Blue Grape. Originally I was only interested in getting the previous two shades but when I saw a review for this I had to have it, I don't have such a bold blue in my collection. The consistency was thinner than the others, but still was opaque in two coats. I think it also has more of a gloss than the others. 

I am so pleased with these 3 that I think I may get the other 2 out of the collection, and I am not usually one for buying all the gelly paints.

They retail at £3.99 and you can buy them at Boots, Superdrug and Barry M

Sadly the superdrug 3 for 2 ends this weekend, also thankfully, I won't be tempted to buy as much until it comes back!

Have you got any of the new gelly paints yet?
