Models Own HyperGels Vs. Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine





At home 'gel' style polish is a massive trend, this year especially and a lot of brands are bringing out more and more non UV gel style polishes. These tend to have a thicker consistency and can be more difficult to apply if you are not careful, however they are super pigmented and have an amazing shine to them when dry.

 

Models Own have now got 15 HyperGel polishes and Barry M have a massive 28 Gelly Hi-Shines and considering these are the 2 biggest high street nail polish brands I thought it might be nice to do a comparison of their gel style colours. I have grouped similar colours together so you can easily see how similar or different they are.

 

All the swatches on my nails are in the same order as the first picture of the set showing the bottle shot so I will only type out the names once. I have also created a collage showing the swatch with each of the bottles. Sometimes colours are very different on the nail than in the bottle and so this helps you identify again which is which and see the difference between them.

 

Prepare yourself for a colour explosion!

I have left a few Barry M colours out because they are not similar to any of the Models Own colours. I have done a comparison of Barry M polishes here, so go have a look at those if you are interested in the other colours.

I hope this has been useful, as you can see there are very few similar colours across the two brands within the same colour category. The most similar being the nudes and the light blues.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
