Gimme Glitter: Barry M - Ruby

Hello there guys!! Little Gimme Glitter post today, I love these. Glitter is da best. I got this polish last summer and here is the Gimme Glitter post for that. I guess I never got round to swatching it by itself. Until now!!

I don't know why I decided to swatch it over orange (for pink glitter, I like putting it over purple), but I like it, it has a Halloween vibe and it's pretty fun. Ruby consists of pink hex glitter, small black hex glitter and small black micro bar glitter. Yeah that's not a bad description. I really like this glitter, it can potentially be very edgy and you know I love a bit of edginess.

 I remember when this lil' collection of glitter came out. Crazily enough I think this is the only one I got from that collection. Oh, tell a lie I have Amethyst as well, but I didn't buy that one and there were 6 in that collection. If that isn't self-control I don't know what is :P

Ruby is very glitter packed, there's a bit of moving around required to get a good spread of glitter, but there was definitely a lot of glitter there. I used 2 coats for what I felt was enough glitter, and that's a lot of glitter. I put this over Bourjois Tangerine Fatal (which I totally have been neglecting).

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a lovely day!! :)

Gimme Glitter: w7 - Salt n Pepper

Hello there fine folks!! This is the final Poundworld polish I got, and I do like to save the best to last. I love this one, but this whole time I keep thinking it's "Cookies n Cream", totally acceptable right? Salt n Pepper should be a small black and white glitter topper but whatevs I roll with the punches. And finally I tell this "story" I've been keeping to myself, if anything is taken away from the "story", it should be that I saved cash, cause I did.

Salt n Pepper is a white base with tons of small black glitter. I've said this before many times but I LOVE polishes like this!! I could do with every variation of glitter and base with this polish, yes all of them. All of the polishes like this!! I don't know this polish is just so cute, the combination is just perfect, you can't go wrong with black and white.

Ok so we were before Christmas shopping (yeah I got these a while ago and I'm only posting it now, lol at my lateness) and we hopped on over to Poundworld cause my friend wanted to go. I wasn't very keen cause I always had high expectations for the Pound shops and I never got anything good.
But I saw a bargain bin kind of thing (it was more a bargain tub), stuffed to the brim with random makeup and nail polish. And this was a small tub, you really only had access to the stuff at the top of the tub cause it's not a well-designed tub. But I saw this polish, and I manoeuvred my hand around the tub (taking some stuff out) and grabbed this.
But then I saw Mosaic and Lava Flow and then I got my friends and forced them to hold the contents of the tub (it wasn't a small tub), and I literally took everything out and got them to hold it (I was holding stuff too) or put them in random shelves until I got the polishes.
We did put everything back into the tub, and I expected to pay £3 for the polishes, a brilliant deal in itself but because I got them from the bargain tub I got them all for half price, so £1.50. I was well pleased. What a gal does for cheap (and good) polish.
w7 is a really good and cheap brand in general, but 15ml of good polish, can't argue with that. Oh man I am so dramatic, but it was fun.

The base is really opaque, 2 coats is definitely all that's required. I did 3 for the odd not as covered part, but on the whole it wasn't needed. Each coat was packed with glitter and it went on great, all of these polishes are just wonderful.

Thank you very much for reading my ramblings about random things and I hope you have a lovely day!! :)
