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: Barry M - Fairy Lights

Hi there!! Oh man I've been so busy, I will be trying to get more nail art up but first I have to do more nail art. I've been really pressed for time, so I've got a Gimme Glitter today. I love glitter, hopefully you do too to appreciate these posts. I've said a lot that I really love the Barry M limited editions and this one is no different. I always say I think Superdrug get the better ones and this time I think it was the same deal. I was hunting for this during November and December and when it finally appeared I grabbed. Also the names, so glad there are names now and Fairy Lights is the cutest name!!

Holographic glitter, everything is holographic glitter. Oh my. Fairy Lights is your glitter topper FILLED with small pink holographic glitter. Sometimes simple is better and this is one of those times cause HOLOGRAPHIC GLITTER IS EVERYTHING.

I want Barry M limited editions forever, the Boots holographic glitter one was similar. But not pink, I wanted pink even though because of the holographic glitter they are pretty much identical. Using a darker pink as a base made the glitter stand out more though and in some lighting you could see the pink but it took away the holographic so you'd put it back in the light.

I used 2 coats (1 for thumb), as you know I like having a lot of glitter so 2 coats gave me tons. It spread great and it was beautiful. Oh you holographic glitter.

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