To get the most out of your Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint, follow these simple steps for application and care:
Application Steps
- Prepare Your Nails: Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free of any old polish or oils. Gently push back cuticles and file nails to your desired shape.
- Apply Base Coat (Recommended): For better adhesion and to prevent staining, apply a thin layer of your preferred nail polish base coat. Allow it to dry completely.
- Apply First Color Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Lemon Sorbet. Make sure to cap the free edge of your nail to help prevent chipping.
- Allow to Dry: Let the first coat dry to the touch before applying the second. This helps prevent streaks and bubbles.
- Apply Second Color Coat: Apply a second thin, even coat for full opacity and enhanced color. Again, allow it to dry completely.
- Apply Top Coat (Essential for Best Results): For maximum shine, plumping effect, and longevity, finish with a high-quality top coat, such as the Barry M Plumpy Topcoat. This seals the manicure and boosts the gel-like finish.
Compatibility
- Base Coats: Compatible with most standard nail polish base coats. A good base coat improves wear and prevents nail staining.
- Top Coats: Highly compatible with plumping or gel-effect top coats. The manufacturer specifically recommends their 'Plumpy Topcoat' for optimal results.
Care
- Storage: Store the nail paint upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent thickening or separation.
- Longevity: To extend your manicure's life, wear gloves when doing household chores involving water or harsh chemicals.
- Removal: Easily removed with any standard acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover.
