Barry M Cosmetics Under The Sea Nail Paint, Jellyfish

What's not to love about Barry M's Under the Sea nail colours?This polish is vegan, non-toxic and also very affordable compared to other posh brands.The colours are gorgeous. Jellyfish is very pretty iridescent and subtle. One sheer or 2 thin coats works for me, without a basecoat because its not a dark, staining shade, and it lasts for ages with 1-3 clear LED gel topcoats on top.(This is how I do my nails - so much faster). Regular polish can be combined in use with gel polish, AS LONG AS THE REGULAR VARISH IS PERFECTLY DRY BEFORE APPLING THE GEL over it.The gel is very tough and flexible so it doesn't chip or wear and you can build up a nice thick protective nail coat so quickly with a curing light. (1 minute to dry each topcoat)... This method dramatically cuts down the time it needs to get thoroughly cured polish.Another big advantage of using regular-drying polish underneath is that after a week of washing up bathing and washing hair I find the the colour simply falls off in one piece , like a thin fake nail, without having to faff around with filing and soaking the gel polish forever with harsh acetone, or polish remover. I find that nail polish remover really dries my nails out too, but usually I pick it off that and it leaves a rough nail surface... either way, regular nail polish by itself wears badly, but most of all takes hours to dry and properly cure after painting more than 2 coats... base + 2/colour + topcoat, I just don't have the patience and after hours of effort end up wrecking h the manicure.I need to use a polish to help protect my nails so I can play the guitar.I really love these Under the Sea shades because they are so pretty to be worn with just one sheer coat. Other polishes don't seem to last quite as long under the gel.

I bought 2 of the Under the sea range and love them. The photo is Pacific Flame and I also got jellyfish . This is just 1 coat on top of Barry M’s All in One Basecoat, Topcoat & Nail Hardener. I like just one layer as i prefer a more subtle look. This is a very pretty colour as is jellyfish which is more delicate with a hint of pink and blue. It applies very easily and dries quickly. If putting a coat of the All in one on top it must be properly fully dried! I tend to put my polish on about 30 mins before bed then there is no chance of catching it until it’s fully dried. Then I put the topcoat on in the morning as that dries really fast. Great price and speedy delivery. What’s not to like

Pretty effect, does need a few coats to bring out the colour more, or one ok if you just want an understated colour on nails. Not sure will last too many days before chips but would say about comparable for this price range.

Lovely nail polish, goes on really smoothly and dries quickly. I put two coats on, after four or five days there were a few small chips, so I put a third coat on and voila! They were back to looking perfect.

I love Barry M nail varnish as it is affordable and wears well but this colour is just beautiful. Painting my nails is one of the little pleasures I have left in life and something that makes me feel good about myself. This is my autumn colour, this year.

To start with the colour, it was really nice, value for money very good untill you go to user it, unfortunately it was very thick and sticky, very hard to apply.

This is the second bottle of the jellyfish nail polish that I’ve bought, as I love the colour and quality of it.I’ve had lots of compliments on it and had to pass the details of it on to a colleague, so that she can purchase it for herself.
