Models Own - Velvet Goth Absinthe

I took advantage of the boots buy one get one half price deal last week. I picked three of the Velvet Goth collection and three of the Firework collection. 

Absinthe was the colour I was most looking forward to wearing once it arrived. 

It's a beautiful glittery green, it makes me think of Dorothy from The wizard of Oz' ruby slippers (the sparkle that is, not the colour). The first thing I said to my husband when I was sat applying it was "It's like the emerald city meets dorothys' slippers, if that makes sense?" He gave me a look like I was crazy and carried on watching his cycling programme. Yeah, he's not likely to be interested in my nails or Ruby slippers really is he? :)

I was really impressed by the application. I was expecting to have to layer on lots of coats but I almost got away with just one. It's thick and has a green polish with green fine glitter and bigger glitter pieces mixed in so one coat will be enough if you apply a thick layer. I finished with a clear 2x gloss top coat. 

Models Own polishes are £5 each but are on offer at Boots if you buy one you get one half price. The offer is online and in store.

2true Glitteratti Nail Polish Shade 1 and Shade 3

Hi Lovelies

I hope you are all well? It's snowing again here. I actually love Snow but I want some warm sunshine now, after all, it is nearly April and its Spring so why do we have January's weather?

I have bought another product after reading Gemma's (Miss Makeup Magpies) tweets/blog!
It is the 2true Cosmetics Glitteratti Nail Polish called Shade 3, I also bought Shade 1(you cannot just buy one!)
Shade 3 is a dark blue chunky glitter and shade 1 is a light blue chunky glitter. Both look stunning and took 2-3 coats.
It's quite thick so feels kind of Gel like when you apply it, personally I prefer it like that because I think it gives a smoother finish rather than a thin layer of polish with chunky glitter sat in it. ( I hope that makes sense?) :)
Gemma described it as being like a Mermaids tail and I couldn't agree more. It really is beautiful.
Sadly, my photos do not do it justice! I used both shades on alternate nails and the middle nail has shade 3 with shade 1 dabbed on the lower half.

You can buy 2true Cosmetics from Superdrug in store and online for £1.99 or 3 for £4.99. I know amazing prices, right?

BarryM Nail Series - BarryM Jewel Britannia

Hi Lovelies

I hope your weekend was a good one?

Todays product is another BarryM Glitter Polish called Jewel Britannia.

This is a multi-glitter with mainly red and blue confetti pieces. I applied just this on my nails as I think it looks really good having the clear polish with lots of different sized pieces of glitter in our British Colours!

I also think it would look fantastic over a White Polish.

The best thing about Glitter Polishes - it doesn't chip!

The worst thing - removing it when you want a change. So stubborn.

Tip - Always soak a cotton pad in Nail Polish Remover and leave to soak on the nail for up to a minute before removing. Much easier! :)

 

What are your favourite Glitter polishes?
