No Glitter Here!

Hello Lovelies,

Just a quick post to show you my New Years Eve make up. Those who follow me on twitter may have already seen a glimpse of this, but for those who haven't, here it is :)

I have no idea why, but as I let my imagination do it's stuff, I seem to have ended up with a very 60's inspired look. Think twiggy lashes and pale lips. Not an ounce of glitter in sight. I really loved how it turned out though!

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

Barry M Nail Polish Collection...

Hey Honeypies!! :D

I have found that Barry M is getting to be a little bit of a cult brand over here in the UK, especially considering they don't stock them in the US. I love them because they are inexpensive, generally a good formulation, chip resistant and they have a CRAZY colour selection. Always a little pick me up at the end of a long day:)

I could say I have jumped on the Nail Paint band wagon, however, i have been accumulating these nail polishes since i was around 11. Maybe i have just continued the trend? Who knows? :)

I haven't managed to include all of the shades as i recently bought 2 new polishes, although they should be found in my holiday post!!!

Its not a very large collection, (i even have some of the oldschool taller bottles) but its one I always return to time after time...

Clockwise from Left:66,47,161,291,295(Turquoise),290,137,134x2:P,136,150,262 and 296(Coral)

The ones i recently bought are 308(Berry Ice Cream) and 304(Mint Green)

I must say, i am very glad they have started to name them, as writing all those numbers down wasn't very interesting lol:)

If you would like to see any swatches let me know and I'll do a NOTD post.

Also if you would like to see the rest of my collection I can do that to :D

Have you bought any Barry M Nail Paints recently?

Have you bought any Nail Polish in general?

Love

Lou
