Pay Day Polish + New Followers!

Hi Everyone,

Firstly I'd like to welcome my first 3 followers!

Ashleigh Denny, BeautyTricks1 and Jemma!

You're all absolute darlings <3

Every pay day I like to treat myself to a new nail polish. This month I treated myself twice and bought two Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paints.

Cheeky 'ay?

After seeing these on Asos I went over to Boots and picked up Pomegranate and Watermelon. These claim to be "a highly pigmented, chip resistant formula designed to give an extra glossy, gel-like finish with a single coat."


Pomegranate - Watermelon


I agree that you only need 1 coat as the formula is slightly thicker than normal polish. The polish is very glossy especially with the sally hansen quick dry top coat that I also picked up. (Does that count as 3 pay day polishes??)
I've been wearing Pomegranate since Friday night and I'm really enjoying the colour but they're definately not chip-resistant. I'm a little disappointed as both the polish and the top coat claim to be chip resistant, but 4 of my nails have chipped since then I had to replace a whole nail as it peeled off then that nail also chipped.

Surprisingly though, this hasn't put me off using them. I don't tend to wear the same colour for long so it's not too much of a problem. The colours are beautiful and really glossy so at £3.99 I think can handle a chip here and there.

I shall paint them with Watermelon tonight and post a photo later hopefully!
 
Thanks for reading.
