This is the first Gelly Hi-Shine that I bought from Barry M,  I've used other colours borrowed from my sister so I knew that I liked the formula.  These polishes dry like a gel nail varnish, which gives it a great finish and seal - as well as making it last longer before it chips; at least on me!  I'd been on the hunt for a gorgeous Lilac shade for a while as it's a colour I've never had in my collection.  I looked into buying Essie Lilacism, but this won out.  Both for price and vibrancy.  Unfortunately, we are heading into Autumn and I tend to favour reds, burgundy and burnt orange shades - so this will be on my toes hidden in my cosy boots!  I wish I'd seen it nearer the beginning of summer.
