Gimme Glitter: Barry M - Silver Glitter

Hey there guys, hope you're doing good. I'm throwing back to an old limited edition, recently I posted this year's Boots limited edition and today I have 2011's Boots limited edition. Wow the polish obsession has existed for a while. I had to check if it was 2011, but I have the 2012 Christmas limited editions so yes, 2011. And Barry M has always been awesome so this one is obviously good :P

So Silver Glitter is, as you can guess, silver glitter. At least then they named their limited editions in 2011, what happened after then for about 3 years? Anyway this silver glitter is in a clear base and isn't your standard silver glitter. The glitter is more like tiny tiny bars and it's really nice. Boots won the limited edition competition, as I'm pretty sure Superdrug didn't get any.

I have a super nice combo with this polish as part of this, and I explained the backstory of how this polish came to me (the 2 bottles I own) which I can assure you is super interesting. The lid is all holographic which is somewhat deceiving as if this polish was holographic I would be raving mad over it. But this I think a standard silver glitter should be part of all polish collections.

 The glitter in this polish is crazy crazy dense, it's crazy. Here I have 1 coat. ONE COAT!! What even???! The glitter spread so well and didn't clump in any areas, so yeah Barry M's always had glitter polishes down. I put that ONE COAT over Revlon Dreamer.

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

Match Made In Heaven: Sprinkle Of Fairy

Hey there guise!!! Hope your enjoying this lovely day, for me it's making the most of what's left of my holiday. Which means "revising". But oh well. I haven't done one of these Match Made In Heaven posts in ages, so I have one here today. I'm using the picture I took a while ago, I should do this combination again soon though cause it's super pretty.

This was the base I fell in love with for my polar bear design. I used 2 coats of Essie - Bikini So Teeny, one of my favourite polishes. It's a cornflower blue with silver shimmer and it's gorgeous. 

I continued with 1 coat of Models Own - Indian Ocean. I think it was intended to be a duochrome but it's not really, still pretty though. It's more a blue/purple shimmer kind of thing. 

I added one coat of Barry M - Silver Glitter, it was limited edition Christmas 2011, but it's your standard silver glitter, but it's really dense.  

I think what really pulled the combination together is that 1 coat of Barry M - Pink Iridescent. The base is tinted pink but it really doesn't show, it might as well be clear. Pink Iridescent is difficult to remove, you wouldn't think it (maybe) but tough scrubbing is required or the tin foil method.  I found with the glitter on top of Indian Ocean it brings out the purple in Indian Ocean whilst still showing the blue. It's pwetty :3

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!! :)

Combo: Sweet Freak

Hey there, how are you? :) I have a test tomorrow and I spent ages revising and I really hope it wasn't all in vain cause it kind of feels that way. I have a nice combination today, I just piled on the glitters and it worked (I love when that happens). I once again forgot that pale purple doesn't suit me (remembered after putting one coat on a nail) but glitter helps.

I used 2 coats of Essie - Lilacism, which is lovely but seriously doesn't suit me. In real life it's more purple, I feel like I've taken better pictures of it before. I am being swayed by purple polish, once I find my perfect one (I have a couple of ideas...) I know I'll be hooked. I went on to use 1 coat of Barry M - Silver Glitter and Revlon - Belle (which didn't really do anything but it was nice to use it). I liked it like that, but I wanted to add Models Own - Freak Out!. It has shards but they're not too bad here, I really like the mix of glitter, especially the dark blue hexagons. But I don't think I'll be buying more of these Mirrorball polishes simply because they stank (to be read in a sassy way) and the brush is unbelievably wonky. I used 2 coats with some dabbing. I also never really know when to use this glitter in nail art (I will find a way) but for now Freak Out! is more than enough for me (but I do like it!!!). Finally I added a matte topcoat cause I had to, cause I love matte nails.

So thank you for reading and have a lovely day!!! :)

Match Made In Heaven: Starry Night

Hello there. Today I will be showing my absolute favourite layering combination. In my eyes it is perfect, I do this combo so much. I will probably never get tired of it. So I want to do a nice little post on it so here goes. I've done it so much that I have used up most of the bottles for these 3 polishes that I used for this combo. I really love it.

I have a lot of pictures. Be ready.

I have a selection of different lighting to choose from :P Cause colours change depending on the light. But isn't it pretty? (If you don't think so, keep it to yourself :P). I honestly think it's reminiscent of a starry night, the first time I looked at it I named it that, and that was last year. It also has holographic glitter which adds to it's perfectness. I didn't do a holographic goodness picture cause my camera wasn't handling it too well. If only I could take more accurate photos.

More pictures, I have to.
Blue: Barry M - Indigo
Silver Glitter: Barry M - Silver Glitter
Holographic Glitter: Barry M - Hologram Hexograms
Indigo is far darker than what it looks like in the bottle, I've said before it's great for layering. I think it's a great polish, there's 2 coats here. The formula is good but since I have not that much left it wasn't very smooth but the silver glitter covered over that.

It started when my friend told me Indigo and the Silver Glitter would look really nice together (she had got me both for Christmas). So I did that and...it was alright, I just thought something was missing. One fateful day (I make it sound so dramatic :P) I decided to add the Hologram Hexograms. It was a glorious moment.

Haha there's a story behind the silver glitter too (not the most interesting one). I was in Boots with my best friend and I saw the silver glitter (it's limited edition by the way;)). I told myself "I don't need it, I don't need it, tell me I don't need it". My friend of course said "You need it". I didn't buy it. But another day pretty soon after I did :/ And my other friend gives me another bottle so I have 2. Oh well I really like it. It's a very dense glitter, I have 1 coat on. It really will cover the whole nail.

I look at my nails and say (out loud), "It's so pretty" and the glitters work perfectly together. I get a lot of compliments every time I have this on, and that has to be a good thing :P I don't think the pictures will ever do it justice cause it's so beautiful :)
