Combo: Blue Superhero

Hello there dearest nail people (almost called you polish :P)!!! The long week is over!! Oh yeah buddy, it has been a long week. Exams were thick and fast, but the worst is over and exams are almost over (until they start again :/). Anyway to polish!!! I wanted nails that wouldn't distract me, last year I had some multicoloured leopard print (surprised?) which I'll probably do again (it definitely wasn't bad, I just want more multicoloured leopard print :)). So I picked one of my favourites, if not my favourite polish, Nails Inc - Baker Street (2 coats) and topped it with some glitter. The result was pretty great.


I called this blue superhero cause in my head, superhero = red, yellow and blue (a.k.a my favourite colour combination). There's no yellow here but that's why it's a blue superhero.
I added one of my favourite glitter polishes on top, Barry M - Superdrug Xmas LE 2012 (2 coats). The mixture of red, blue, silver and holographic glitter (which makes this special) is really something.
Unfortunately the blue glitter wasn't showing up so great, apparently too similar in colour to the base.
I do have another post showing off the whole beauty of this glitter.
Aw man I love this combo, when you combine 2 awesome polishes, double awesome all the way across the sky is likely to happen.
Unfortunately for me that meant distraction, and a lot of it. I thought "Oh it's just glitter over blue, I'll be fine", the amount of times I would stop and stare and literally say "Ooooo sparkly" was more than I'd like to admit (accompanied by O.o face). Wasn't too disruptive so overall it was ok. But it's a super sweet combo, I loved having it on.

Trying to a show a bit of that great holographic sparkle
I hope you have a lovely weekend and thank you for reading!!! :)

"Patriotic" Glitter Leopard Print

Hey there guys!!! I hope you are good this week, my mood changes with the weather apparently as I was feeling awesome last week. But this week the weather got really crummy and I'm feeling not too great. But I feel good about this post? ;) This was not intended to be patriotic, and I don't even know patriotic to what country. I guess Britain but the gradient looks like a french flag. I decided I didn't like it plain so I spruced it up with some leopard print (as always, 1 leopard from the limit used).

I wanted to the glitter gradient to be inspired by the Barry M Xmas glitter (it's one awesome glitter), but then french flag happened and I wasn't too keen :P But of course after the leopard print I quite liked it. I also did sporadic leopard spots, again I quite like that too.
Blue: Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream
Dark Blue: Kiko - 265
White: Models Own - Snow White
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips
Red/Blue/Silver Glitter: Barry M - Superdrug Xmas LE 2012 B
Green/Blue Glitter: Orly - Go Deeper
Go Deeper looks awesome over a dark colour, it's the way forward. I wasn't sure if the leopard print could fix the design for me but it did (I should never doubt leopard print, ever).


Thank you for reading and have an awesome day!!! :P

Gimme Glitter: Barry M - Superdrug Xmas Limited Edition 2012 B

Hey dudes!!!! I am excited about this post man, very excited. Normally I wouldn't be this excited but this is one awesome glitter. I absolutely adore it, and I have to say the bottle is super cute too (the colour of the lid is really pretty). I love how Barry M do the limited edition polishes at Christmas (SO I CAN BUY THEM ALL ^_^), I was surprised to see this sitting in Superdrug the other day but I snatched it without thinking. I remember seeing the other limited edition Superdrug polish and not being so impressed(I assume that one was A) but trust me this one is AMAZING.

Oh man LOVE. See since I was just grabbing I wasn't sure what to think of it. But it's AMAZING, I love when you don't know what to expect from a polish and it's awesome. I saw the holographic glitter in there after I purchased this and got excited. This is a mixture of large-ish red and blue hexes, with smaller red, blue and silver glitter with a sprinkle of holographic glitter (which is what I think makes this one special polish). I love the mixture of glitter, especially the red glitter, cause its toned down salmony red and not a in your face "I'M RED GLITTER" kind of red glitter. I know I've already said this but I LOVE THIS POLISH. Yeah... I think Superdrug got the better deal, whilst I really like the pink foil polish from Boots, this glitter. Is wow. I used 2 coats over Revlon - Dreamer.


I shall treasure my bottle as I'm not sure how many are left :/ Thank you very much for reading and have a wonderful day!!! :D
