Summer Mani – Nails to envy a paradisian sea

A bottle of Barry M Nail Varnish sitting on a table in front of a slightly blurred hummingbird wallpaper background. The hummingbird's are multicoloured-blues, greens, greys and blues. The Nail polish bottle is glass with a shiny silver top. The polish itself a beautiful, bright blue pastel shade. The writing on the bottle reads 'Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint by Barry M'.

Say Hello to a fresh summer mani. With a gel-like shine and a beautiful bold, pastel blue hue that will be sure to leave you dreaming of sandy shores, I dare you to not fall in love with Barry M’s Blueberry.

One of the quickest ways to update your outfit is with a slick of polish on the nails, whether it’s a bright pop of colour or a dazzle of glitter that you reach for, painting our nails is an easy way to add personality into our wardrobe.

Today’s fresh mani is with one of my favourite nail polish brands Barry M. A cruelty free brand offering affordable polishes, durable formulas with an incredible range of colours and finishes, what more can we ask for?

Two coats of ‘Blueberry‘ Gelly Hi Shine provides a great opaque finish, the ‘Gelly Hi shine‘ leaving a gel-like mani effect, which I’ve sealed with my go to top go Seche Vite to add extra longevity to my manicure.

With such reasonably priced polishes you really can feel a little more free to play around and add fun colours (think neons to deep reds) and textures (mattes to glitters and chromes!) to your nail varnish collection, I know I certainly have!

Barry M’s cruelty free products are mostly suitable for vegetarians and vegans too.
