I absolutely love the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine polishes, for a high street nail polish I think they are brilliant. Today I am reviewing Dragonfruit, which is among my favourite summery Gelly Hi Shine shades alongside Greenery which I have reviewed here. Dragonfruit is a beautiful shade of pink, probably just slightly darker than a bubblegum colour. Also if you look really closely (you can barely tell from my pictures!) it's really subtle but there is a silver shimmer throughout the polish it looks lovely in the light/sun. Also I believe this is the only polish from the range to have a shimmer in it, correct me if I'm wrong! Dragon fruit is definitely a blue toned pink, which I love. Application is as always with the Gelly Hi Shines, perfect and easy to paint, with a smooth consistency. The only thing I would say is that this is one of the sheerest polishes from this range and took three coats to become opaque where most of them is two, and sometimes even just one coat. But because the shade is so pretty I really didn't mind, it's a perfect summer pink and would look amazing with a tan. There has been a lot of controversy in the blogging world about wether these polishes dry quickly or not. As a nail technician, I would always suggest the thinnest coats possible is the best way to get your polish to dry quickly. If you have to apply 5 thin coats of a polish, that will always dry quicker than two thick coats. But I find the dry time on these, the same as any other polish. The consistency is a little thicker so it's all about the thin coats.
Do you like Dragonfruit? Which are your favourite shades from the Gelly Hi Shine range?
This is a gorgeous shade and so pretty for summer.
