Fridail: Barry M New Gelly's!

Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by ^^ Welcome to the Fridail post- this week I've swatched up two of the new Barry M Gelly's for you!
For those of you who may not have heard, Barry M released 3 new Gelly shades- all pastel colours, of blue, green and pink. They're nearly so pastel that they're an off-white. Nearly...
Picture taken from Barry M's Facebook Page.
Left to Right: Huckleberry, Rose Hip and Sugar Apple



The shades I went for are Huckleberry and Sugar Apple, cause let's face it, I'm really not one for a pink, never mind a pale pink!



The first one I swatched was Huckleberry! (Uh Oh-Typo on the bottle!) And I apologise for the pictures in advance because they are not only super-messy but were also taken using my phone instead of my camera! Sorry guys! <3

Sunlight! Isn't it pretty!?
As you can probably tell from the pics, the lighting makes a huuuuuge difference in how vibrant the colour is. I'm sure your skin tone probably will too! I have a slight olive tinge to my skin, so I don't usually stray towards pastels because they just... Don't really work...  But I quite like this blue! Especially in the sunlight! :) Remember what I said before, about them being so pastel that they're almost an off-white? Look at the top two pictures of this shade- see what I mean?

Now on to the pretty green!
Sugar Apple is also an awesome shade, though kinda similar to the blue. I seriously had to look twice to see if I'd actually changed the colour.





Once again, apologies for the extremely messy mani xD But look at that colour! Isn't it lovely? It's like the inside of a mint cream! (Mmm....) Once again, the colour was slightly more vibrant in natural light, but I didn't have any available to me because of cloudy weather (silly English weather!) so just image a very slightly greener version of the above!

In Conclusion...
These polishes are very nice, and paint on just as well as the other Gelly polishes! Which means that they also have the same issue of some light and dark patches. But they are still just as amazing, and still only £3.99 at Superdrug, Boots or BarryM.com.
The colours are also so different form the rest of the collection, so they're a great addiction even for you nail polish addicts!
Hope you liked today's post, don't forget to leave a comment below letting me know what you think, and share the page with your friends! ^^
Bye for now!
