Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nails Paint* (£3.99)

A while back, Barry M added four new shades to their popular Gelly Hi Shine range. The shades were Black Currant, Black Cherry, Black Grape and Black Pistachio, which all look super dark and vampy.

What I love about these nail polishes is that you can pretty much get two different shades from one bottle. One coat gives you gorgeous opaque finish of purple (black currant), burgundy (Black Cherry), blue (Black Grape) or green (Black Pistachio), but as soon as you start to layer up, you’ll get a “black” finish with a slight hint of colour. I personally prefer to use two coats as one coat looks slightly uneven on my nails.

Although these shades were first launched around October last year, in time for Halloween and Christmas, it doesn’t stop me from wearing them in January. You still want to make a statement during the colder months, right? Make that statement through your nails!

Honestly, if you are a sucker for shiny dark nail polishes, then you’ll love these! Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Black Currant, Black Cherry, Black Grape and Black Pistachio are definitely my go to shades when I’m feeling a bit vampy! But I must admit that Black Grape is my favourite of the bunch! :p

Now tell me, which one is your favourite? Or do you prefer another set of shades from the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint collection?

    These look truly beautiful. I´m a sucker for nail polishes anyway and these look like something that can´t be found anywhere else. Until we go into full spring mode, I think these are still completely wearable!

    Oooh these look like lovely shades! We don't have easy access to Barry M unfortunately, but one of my YouTuber subscribers just sent me the BIGGEST makeup bag filled with a lot of London brands which got me so excited because I've wanted to try some of the London drugstore brands for SO LONG! I'm one of those people who is 100% obsessed with London, but has never been. I have no idea if that's weird or what, but I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog. When I saw the name of your blog, I instantly assumed you were in Norway and we head there in just a week. Back to Noray and it's going to be cold as %$&*#^$^$! xx adaatude.com

      Oh no! You're definitely missing out. Barry M is one of my favourite brands for nail polishes. Yes, you're right I'm from Norway, but I'm currently based in London. I do miss the snowy winter in Norway though. 🙂 x

      Yep, will definitely enjoy these shades for a little longer before swapping to pastels. 🙂 x

    The black cherry one would be my colour as I love dark red/burgundy shades. They are super classy and feminine, but mysterious and a bit sassy at the same time. Hope you're well and your weekend is going great!

      I swear I have like 5 different nail polish shades in burgundy! Haha, it's definitely one of those universal colours that look good with everything. 🙂 x

    All of these colours are so gorgeous! I think I'd feel super sexy wearing them (well, I would if my damn nails would grow haha!). I particularly love the look of Black Pistachio.

    You're photos are really gorgeous, by the way.
