Barry M High Shine Gel Effect Nail Paint Lychee & Nail Art

As I mentioned in my may favourites I have been loving the Barry M High Shine Gel Effect Nail Paint in the shade Lychee.  
At first I wasn't to fussed about the new line of gel effect polishes, I thought you could get the same effect by using a top coat. To be honest I still think that, but the shade drew me in. Lychee is a Beautiful beige nude. I am impressed with its easy application, most light shades can turn out streaky but this went on smoothly & only needed two coats. This is probably to do with its rather thick consistency, which in a way is great for colour pay off but on the other hand not great for the longevity of the polish, on me this polish lasts 2-3 days max before it starts to peel off. As I am always changing my polish this doesn't bother me to much.
One tip I do have for making the polish last is applying a coat of glitter over the top! Barry M High Shine Gel Effect Nail Paint come in 18 shade & cost £3.99 
Teddy Bear nail art using Barry M High Shine Gel Effect Nail Paint Lychee

1. Paint all fingers with Lychee, leaving the ring finger to paint white.


2. Using the shade Lychee again, using the polish brush paint a semicircle at the tip of the nail. This will be the bears head.
 Using the same polish & a dotting tool make to small dots (ears) at the top of the bears head. Wait for polish to dry.

3. Next take a white polish & with the polish brush make a smaller semicircle inside the brown semicircle.

4. Dip the dotting tool into the white polish & make two dots in the ears & above the white semicircle, for eyes.

5. Make two brown dots inside the bears eyes.

6.Take a dark brown polish & dip in the dotting tool, use this as the bears nose making a dot for the bears nose press down & drag down.

Wait to dry & apply a top coat :)
If you don't have a dotting tool you can use the end of a hair clip/bobby pin.
Polishes I used Barry M - Lychee, Mushroom & matt white.
