Nail Polish Swatch: Barry M - Pineapple Punch (Summer 2021 Gellys)

Barry M released a range of six gelly polishes for Summer 2021. I have compared this one to previous gelly polishes. I don't think they are actual dupes of any others but they are very similar. Pineapple Punch is most like Mustard but slightly lighter.

Topic Tuesday: How Do You Photograph Your Nails

This week the answer is pretty simple, I use my phone, currently a S10 Lite. Nine times out of 10 I am holding a piece of black velvet material to make sure my fingers are on a good angle so you can see the designs. Otherwise for polish swatches I hold the bottle so we know what polish I am wearing.
