Good afternoon everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your week so far, I am here with a nail specialty GLITTER! Glitter nail polishes are really fun and girly and look great for special events, and my curiosity finally got the best of me the other day in Superdrug and I purchased two glitter nail polishes by Barry M. Now I am a MASSIVE fan of Barry M, especially their nail paints and so I was expecting the standard Barry M quality, although I've never bought or used glitter nail polishes before so I had no idea what to expect.
SO I purchased two different shades, the 349 Rose Quartz which is a pinky/silvery shade and then the 354 Amethyst which is a purpley/bluey shade.
Here are some quick paper swatches of the two... You'll immediately notice that the Amethyst is far more pigmented and glittery than the rose quartz, this is also evident when you use the two.
SO I will begin with the 354 Amethyst...
Before applying I used a base coat also by Barry M, I highly recommend it and for only £2.99 you can't go wrong. Link here. This just protects your nails and stops them from getting stained.
This is a first coat of the Amethyst Glitter, I have to say I was very impressed with the coverage of glitter considering it was only one coat.
Here is the second coat and as you can see I am pretty much done here just need a bit of a tidy up. It's pretty impressive that only 2 coats were needed to get a full glitter coverage.
And this is the finished look. I LOVE the colour it's really classy and special it would look great for an occasion.
Moooving onwards to Rose Quartz...
So after applying another base coat I went straight to applying a first coat. As you can see the glitter doesn't have as good of a coverage as the Amethyst glitter, but that's nothing a good couple of layers can't handle. The trick is to apply lots of thin even layers.
5 layers later... and this is the finished work. Overall it did take longer to dry because of the extra layers but once dried it did look beautiful and girly and pinky great for prom or a date.
COMPARISON...
If I had to choose a favorite I think I would choose the bluey-Amethyst glitter. Both are really cool and pretty though and I would highly recommend both, I want to go out and buy all the rest now! And for £2.99 each you can't hate them. Overall I LOVE these just like I love Barry M's other nail paints.
And that's it for today guys! I do hope you've enjoyed this post, if you did do give it a cheeky little comment I always love and value your opinions, thank you for reading and thank you for all you lovely subscribers I love you all. Love Annie :-)xxx
