RED, GOLD AND SILVER GLITTER NAIL TUTORIAL

For as long as I can remember I have bitten my nails. I am stupidly shy so I've always put it down nerves. As I'm getting older now, I need to get out of the habit. For Christmas, my Mam paid for me to have acrylics done on Christmas Eve and I haven't bitten them since, yay me! I finally took them off yesterday and to stop me from biting them, I decided to make them pretty. I didn't really have anything in mind and just went with it, so I thought I would do a little tutorial for you guys. 


I first applied a base coat which I would never normally do, but I want to start taking care of my nails properly as they so stupidly weak. I then applied two coats of Ciate's Dangerous Affair (little review here). The colour of the polish in the bottle is what it looks like on your nails but I had my flash on.


Next, I applied Barry M Nail Paint in Yellow Topaz Glitter on just under half of the nail. The glitter has chunks of hexagon shaped glitter and fine glitter mixed together, which I sometimes have trouble applying evenly. 


Finally, I applied Barry M Nail Paint in Silver Glitter (review here) over the top of the gold for more texture and variety. I probably should of done it the other way round, but I think it looks okay. 

I love looking at my nails in the light. I love looking at all the different colours and I find myself doing it a lot. Simple things, simple minds haha. I hope I have inspired you to chuck a load of glitter on your nails! What is your favourite glitter polish? Let me know below!

BLOGUARY - CHLOE REVIEWS:- BARRY M GLITTER NAIL PAINT - DAY 15!



Hey guys, welcome to Bloguary day 15! This Limited Edition Polish came out at Christmas I think, but obviously you can't get it in shops no more, so this review is going to be on all the glitter polishes from Barry M I have tried rather than just this polish itself.. I hope that made sence?


What the website says:- ' Glitzy Glam! Be extreme.
These are ideal to be the knockout party disco diva, whatever your age!Bright shades bursting with minute particles, you’ll certainly get noticed with these enamels wherever you go to party. '





Texture and Pigmentation:- The texture of the polish because of the glitter isn't completely smooth, but it doesn't flake or anything like that. When pairing it with a colour nail polish, I only use 1 coat, but if you wanted to wear it on it's own, then I think it you would need about 2 coats. Don't apply too thickly because the polish will then peel.


Scent:- The scent is the same as every other nail polish really.




Packaging and Price:- The packaging isn't anything great or tacky, because it is only a nail polish at the end of the day. As long as it stops the polish from drying inside and you can see the colour of the polish through the packaging, that's good enough packaging for me. You can pick these polishes up from the Barry M website or in Superdrug fro £2.99.


I hope you've enjoyed Day 15 of Bloguary! Have you tried out any of these glitter paints yet?
