Gimme Glitter: Barry M - Starlight (Limited Edition)

Hi there!! I'm liking the bit of time I get to sit and write up these posts, once school starts back I have to make cupcakes for my class and lol let's not even start about winter exam results but it's nice to have a few days off. It's Barry M limited edition time, I do this every year you know the drill, I pick my favourite limited editions and I show them off. There's still 1 limited edition I intend to get but from the promos I knew this one would be my favourite.

It's holographic glitter pal. The mix is so nice, there's gold and pink (hard to tell but it's a pale pink and it's really nice) hexes with silver holographic stars and small pink glitter in a clear base. It's kind of classy and would be perfect for a party ;)

You know me, you know I love Barry M, and I love those limited editions. Every season I try to get the nice ones, this winter there's 2 in Boots (Moonlight and Starlight), 2 in Superdrug (Jingle Bells and Christmas Tree) and even 1 in Tesco (Twilight). You'll hopefully be seeing one of the other ones, though here's a hint, I'm not the biggest fan of bar glitter. I love that they're glitter polishes too, you know me, you know I LOVE glitter.

Haha I was trying to show the pink glitter and the only way to do that is take a picture in the bathroom, you can see the shower head ahahahaha

You know what to expect with Barry, the glitter spread was super great and there was loads of glitter. I used 2 coats and I didn't even pack the brush with glitter. The stars stuck out a bit, but that's gonna happen when you have curved nails and it's not that bad, otherwise all the glitter stays at bay. I put this over Nails Inc Sao Paulo Streets, cause neutrals are classy, like me. I'm excited to put this over a bright colour though :P

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

The totally doable I have a life challenge! - Striped Mostachioed Macaroons

Hey there guys!! Man it feels a while since I've written one of these. Been busy ya'know, having a life ;) I know this challenge is well and truly over but to be real I actually finished the challenge before August was over but it takes me a while to get things up :/ Anyway today was stripes and um yeah here's more food. Side note: I was watching Modern Family as I was painting these and oh my gosh Haley and Andy are my new OTP, I was crying from cuteness and new season is coming out this month!! But not like I can watch it cause I don't have cable.

Originally I was going to do a fruit basket but then I realised a previous prompt was pineapples so it'd be a bit fruit overload. Also cute food never gets old with me. I actually really liked the stripes by themselves, they were very Battenberg-esque. The filling is intended to be the moustaches, well I didn't plan it that way but it came out that way. It's more charming in my opinion anyway. I added extra glitter pieces cause I need extra stuff to fill space. Also glitter.
By the way I LOVE macaroons, I think they taste so good and that's not just the colour of them being a placebo, they are yummy ^_^

The stripes were freehanded and kind of straight. I did have to go back and touch up with the brush and toothpick. Otherwise the macaroons were painted with a toothpick and I placed glitter after fishing. The glitter was very prickly and some fell off (ring finger). But moons and stars though.

Gimme Glitter: Revlon - Celestial

Hey there people!! I have this really cute glitter polish today, I was very fortunate to be able to go to Japan this year, and it was lovely where we were at. And yeah I got this polish from there. They're Revlon bottles are smaller than the usual 14.8ml (approx.), and they're really cute!! I'm guessing they're 8ml, but compared to the regular bottles they're adorable. I'm all about this polish because of one thing, moon glitter.

I don't know what it is about moon glitter, but it's fabulous!!
Celestial is a glitter topper with holographic moon, star and diamond glitter (how exciting!) with lots of small iridescent glitter. It very much gives the night sky effect; also we've already talked about how much I love holographic glitter so we don't need to do that again. However while I like this polish I'm not enamoured, I have a feeling it's also about the combo I did. I think I could've paired the glitter with a better blue.

Hello holographicness

I was looking for this when it first came out with Heart Of Gold, or whatever it's called. It was the one that had the heart glitter. It was the moons that called me, of course every Revlon stand I looked at never had it so as usual I convinced myself I didn't need it and moons can be found everywhere (not true). But hello Celestial in random Japanese store!! I don't forget about moons. Though I really like the star glitter in this polish too.

The iridescent glitter was very plentiful but the big glitter was different story. The fishing was real, without it I got about 2 pieces of big glitter on each nail. Also the big glitter is spiky, even with topcoat it stuck out and you guys know that spiky glitter is spiky. It can potentially hurt a person. So beware haha.

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