Since my favourite Seche Vite Porcelain nail polish smashed months ago I’ve been on the hunt for a lower cost replacement. I’ve tried various whites and regardless of cost they can be very hit and miss, I love Essie Blanc for example but it’s streaky, thin and takes 3 if not 4 coats to get an opaque finish. On top of that some of the nicest formulas to apply then crackle and look awful a couple of days in.. I don’t know what it is about white but it seems to be very tricky to get right. So given my recent obsession with the Barry M Gelly nail paints you can imagine how excited I was when several of my readers tweeted me pictures of a new WHITE launch from the range!
It arrived this morning and I only just applied it so I can’t give you a full review but application wise it’s definitely comparable to the seche vite, thick and glossy but still needs a top coat. Relatively fast drying as these glossier polishes go and only Ā£3.99 – plus there’s almost always an offer on Barry M! I picked up a few new shades from their new pastel launch so expect a post on those along with a follow up on the wear time of this one very soon however I’m still yet to pick up their new ‘Plumpy’ top coat, have any of you given it a go yet? I’m loyal to my super thick Seche Vite for the ultimate gel nail shine but if I could replace it with a Ā£2.99 equivalent I’ll be all over it!

I’ve never tried Barry M nail polish, but I think I will have to now! White nail polish is so cute and classy. š
I absolutely love Barry M nail polishes! This white polish from their Gelly range looks fantastic! x
That white does look rather lovely!

I love white nails ! I have the Essie ‘Blanc’ and love it, but didn’t know Barry M did a version as well. The Gelly nail polishes are great š

White polishes are the bane of my life! I love the Gelly range too but haven’t bought this one, hopefully it won’t be the next in my long list of ‘tested and hated’ white nail polishes!

Love the gelly ones <3
I thought I was the only one who loved Barry M nail polishes!! LOVE the huckleberry colour you wore in one of your recent YouTube vids Miss BB, and just wanted to enquire whether you put a top coat of clear over your nails to make them last longer?
