Christmas Sparkles NOTD

Hello Lovelies,

I was feeling rather festive yesterday and decided to go for a bit of sparkle on the nail front.
Now considering the sparkle itself is pink and silver, I wouldn't really call them Christmaassy colours. However, it is still rather pretty so thats what counts!!

I bought the glittery nail varnish online from Barry M for bonfire night and decided it would look much nicer painted over a black nail polish :) Here's the result of 2 coats of black and a layer of sparkle...

Apologies for the bad lighting I took the photo last night.
I've also been wearing this for a couple of days and there is only slight chipping :)



Black Polish - Barry M 47
Glitter Nail Varnish - Barry M 210 ( Once Upon a Time)
With Sally Hansen Insta Grip Base and Top coats.


Now, unlike most Barry M Glitter Polish's that cover the entire nail sufficiently in a couple of coats, e.g. Red Glitter 150, this one doesn't. I personally think it looks a lot better over a solid dark base. I'm going to try purple next :D Also for the usual £2.99 a bottle, it is still a bargain !! :D

Let me know what you think and if you fancy purchasing.

Merry Christmas
Love
Lou
