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: Claire's - Fluffy

Hi there guys, I was writing about how Claire's nail polish has become absolutely awesome, and this is no exception, but I am not very proud of my swatch because I got bubbles and I've worn this polish before with no bubbles. But the glitter still looks awesome, it's white glitter which is one of my FAVOURITES.

White glitter, be still my heart. I have found my white glitter polish, the day has come. Fluffy has small, medium and quite large hexes and bar glitter white matte glitter in a clear base. It's lovely, I'm so glad it's also so easy to access.

Ok my swatch did look better, so I like doing glitter gradients and I had a gradient. Not a subtle one it was blue with purple (Essie Bikini So Teeny with Models Own Indian Ocean) going into light blue (Revlon Blue Lagoon).
But I don't know what happened cause when I woke up the next day the gradient was gone and everything was cornflower blue. I kind of blame Bikini So Teeny because it causes weird reactions that I can't explain. But I guess it could've been the glitter, but nothing like that happened the last time I had it on. Well I'm sure I'll show Fluffy in a better light in the future, I shall be using it, with frequency.
And I like that Claire's is naming their polish but Fluffy kind of has negative connotations attached to it :/ But I see what they were going for.

 I used 2 coats of glitter, and apparently the base was thick because of the bubbles, but patience is a virtue. That I don't have, I could've minimised bubbles. And moving of the glitter was necessary but not unmanageable, the formula definitely does not throw me off. It's white glitter I'll happily forgive it.

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