Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Using Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint requires minimal setup. Ensure your nails are clean and dry. For optimal results, prepare your nails with a base coat and have the recommended Barry M Plumpy Topcoat ready for application.
Compatibility:
- Base Coats: This nail paint is compatible with most standard nail polish base coats. Using a base coat is recommended for enhanced adhesion and to protect your natural nails from potential staining.
- Topcoats: While other topcoats can be used, the Barry M Plumpy Topcoat is specifically formulated to work in synergy with the Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint to maximize its unique 'gelly' effect, high shine, and longevity.
- Nail Type: Suitable for all natural nail types. For individuals with weak or brittle nails, consider using a strengthening base coat as part of your nail preparation.
Care:
- Storage: To maintain the product's consistency and extend its shelf life, store the nail paint in a cool, dry place. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Shelf Life: Typically, nail polishes maintain their quality for 12-24 months after opening. Always check the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the bottle for specific guidance.
- Prevent Thickening: If the polish begins to thicken over time, add a few drops of specialized nail polish thinner (do not use nail polish remover) to restore its original consistency. Avoid shaking the bottle excessively, as this can introduce air bubbles.
