Barry M Glitter Nail Polishes | Review

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

Manicure Monday - Pink Polka Dot nails.

Hola everyone! Now before you tell me that it's not Monday, I do know, I am sane I swear. I was so busy yesterday revising because today I had three GCSE exams and so yesterday was slightly more full on, so I took the photographs of my manciure and I thought that I would show you all today instead. Sorry!

Here are my cute little summery Barry M polka dot nails. I used the colours Strawberry Ice Cream and Matte white to complete this look. I began by layering on the pink and then dotted the white on top. It was super straight forward and people have been complimenting my nails all day!

You can buy these nail varnishes for £2.99 from Superdrug. Buy here...

Here is helpful little nail illustration I drew to help you guys out... :-)

What manicure are you wearing today?

Manicure Monday - Spring is in the air...

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you have all had a marvellous Monday! Tradition holds that on Monday I show you my manicure, and so today I thought I would go with a Spring theme and wear 'Spring Green' by Barry M. Most of you have probably gathered that I'm quite the Barry M fan and so I decided before I hit the beach Sunday that I would match my polish with my wellies, weird I know but you only live once. I got to paint them out in the sun for once it was so lovely and I hope you enjoy them!:-)

Buy this nail polish...

This colour was really bold, to get this colour it took a measly two coats which I think is pretty good fairplay! I applied the barry m base coat first and it seems to have worked out fine, they haven't even died my nails green! Thank you for reading and I will see you all very soon! Love Annie :-)xx

What manicure do you have today?
