What I've Been Wearing: Glitter Edition!!

Oh hey there guys, I tell you I have always wanted to do a What I've Been Wearing post but alas I have never been a swatcher or someone who changed my polish that frequently. But as you know since I've had exams I've had the chance to re-wear (this is not a word) different polishes. I had no polish on for most of the time but sometimes as a treat I'd paint my nails so today I have various looks to show you!! Of course they all have glitter, I can't function without glitter. I've done Gimme Glitter posts on all these glitter polishes but I think the combo on some of these are much better.

Hare Polish - The Teen Queen over The Face Shop - PK105
Oh my gosh I love this combo so much. I actually did this before my exams but anyway I was ENAMOURED. The shimmer against the pink was boss. And I <3 the blue glitter against the pink (and the blue glitter in general it's GORGEOUS).

Claire's - Fluffy over a gradient of Barry M - Prickly Pear, Barry M - Greenberry and Essie - Fear Or Desire with the magic ingredient Rimmel - Disco Ball
The gradient is so fun and I've found that I like to put a clear glitter polish under the "main glitter" (I've done that with the other looks), and I think it's really pretty. It wasn't my best gradient but glitter cures all ya'know. I think this is showing Fluffy in a much better light (even though the bubbles are still there :/), I love white glitter :3

OPI - Minnie Style, Barry M - Fairy Lights over Madame Milly - Pink (no name)
Who knew the combo of pink glitter over pink would be so legit. This is incredible in the sun and generally it as so pretty!! Fairy Lights under the "main glitter" was genius (not being narcissistic), I just loved the combo. My bottle of Minnie Style has much less white glitter in it cause I've fished out so much white glitter from that bottle. Also the formula was great!! 

The Face Shop - CMX321, Revlon - Belle over Rimmel - Block Your Green! 
This was a fun little combo, it was all crazy. Block Your Green! has some strange chemical reactions going on and Belle turned gold, which was weird. But again it was fun and I actually quite liked the gold. 

So that's all my glitter manis for today, I really enjoyed writing this post. Man I love glitter, and all these combos are so colourful!! Anyway thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!! :)

Gimme Glitter: The Face Shop - CMX321

Hey there guys!!! I have a glitter today and it's pretty great. I went into The Face Shop looking for Vanilla Sugar Yogurt 01 and I walked over to the nail polish area and from my first glance I saw this glitter and thought "GIMME!!" (they are Gimme Glitter posts for a reason haha) with grabby hands. I saw the matte glitter and I was down, from all the swatches of matte glitter I fell in love. Now I have some of my own, good times are ahead. Also I'm a big fan of The Face Shop, I got a couple polishes from there last year (which you may have seen in random posts on this blog) and I think I'm gonna make it a yearly thing to go :D

It's awesome, I really really like it. I want more matte glitter haha. Also over Max Factor - Cool Jade I get cherry blossom vibes which I love. Unfortunately I used my bad topcoat and I didn't wait long enough and I got bubbles :/ Thankfully they're not too obvious. 

The coverage was great, it was really glitter dense (which I'm always a supporter of). CMX321 consists of medium pink, spring green and white hexes with smaller red and blue hexes and small white hexes and squares. Super interesting. 

I used 2 coats and then some placing, not difficult to work with. The green hexes were the most sparse in the mix so it was fun getting some on each nail (yes I find these things fun). Oh another thing CMX321 is such a lame name, I would've been happy with anything other than some letters and numbers. 

I like glitter. A lot. Probably too much. I enjoy it. Haha thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day!! :)
