Barry M Guava with Dollish Polish Gotham City

Hello!
I hope you're all well. I have been on a bit of a nail polish splurge recently, but I'll let you know more about that when they arrive! I am very excited :D 

Today, I would like to show you two polishes. If you can't tell by now, I am a big fan of Barry M, and for a long while, I have been meaning to wear this particular polish, but I just haven't got around to it. Then today I thought of the perfect combo using this polish.

It was spring last year that Barry M released their 'Gelly Hi-Shine' nail paints and I have had this polish sitting on my rack ever since, I hate not using polishes (so much so that I have a list of 'untried' polishes that I try and use at least one from every week!) so I knew it was about time I had better use it.


 

This is 'Guava', a beautiful teal creme. This is what it looks like on it's own with no top coat, so as you can tell, it definitely lives up to the 'hi-shine' statement. The application is a breeze, I used one slightly thicker coat for the picture and there were no patches but I would imagine if you used a thinner coat, you would need just one more for opacity.




This is the polish I thought would be great for the combo! It is by an Indie brand called 'Dollish Polish' and the creator is based in America.
The lady who makes them is a genious! One of my favourite indie makers for sure. She creates her polishes based on her interests. 
So, this polish is called 'Gotham City' and I hope you all know that it's from Batman, haha.
I LOVE Batman and when I saw this on her website, I instantly hit the 'Add to Cart' button.
It is so so perfect, I really feel Dolly got this 100% spot on. I truely love it.
The polish is full of small black hexagons, medium sized black and metallic teal hexagons and large metallic teal hexagons with tiny metallic teal bar glitters and larger black bar glitters and medium sized black squares. 

The formula was a little thick due to it being so glitter dense but application was fine, hardly have to push any glitter around and I didn't have to do any 'fishing' for any of the glitters to come it. Picture shows one coat.

I do really like this combo but sometimes the pretty metallic glitters get lost due to the colour being so close to the 'underwear', perhaps I should invest in a Grey polish for next time? :P

Thank you for reading, take care!
