Lazy 15 Nail Challenge - Day 11 Fireworks/Bonfire Night Nails

Just a quick one today as I have a poorly little boy off school today!

Todays challenge was Fireworks/Bonfire Night Nails and I went for fireworks.

For this I used two coats of Barry M Black as a base, then used Barry M Matt White to do the basic firework shapes. Then I added some glitters for sparkle, shame them weathers too dull to capture it!

The glitters I used were Models Own Purple Haze, Emerald City and Barry M Yellow Topaz, Magenta Glitter, Green Glitter, Red Glitter and Aqua Glitter.

Next up is Fairy Tale!

Makeup Savvy 15 Day Nail Challenge - Day 6 - Glitter

I mentioned in yesterdays post that today is my little boys 4th birthday!

Time flies when you are having fun!

Every year on the kids birthdays we spend the night before blowing up balloons and putting them in their rooms so they wake in the morning to a floor covered in balloons, so today's nails were inspired by that!

Bright glittery balloons!

The colours used are Barry M Bright Red and Red Glitter on the thumb.

Barry M Teal and Aqua Glitter on the index.

GOSH Gold and Barry M Gold Glitter on the middle.

Barry M Shocking Pink and Magenta Glitter on the ring.

Barry Spring Green and Green Glitter on the pinky.

Then Barry M Silver Foil for the balloon strings.

These looked better in my head than they do on the nail but I'm still happy with them and more importantly, the birthday boy says they are 'super nails!'.

My Barry M Collection

Without a shadow of a doubt my favourite high street nail polish brand is Barry M.

I love them.

It has been my mission for a while to collect every colour Barry M does that I can get my glittered tips on! I actually have a Google Document that has a list of all the Barry M shades I know of that I haven't got yet, which I have been striking through as I've bought them. I have been scouring Ebay for the ones I can't get in my local Boots/Superdrug and one day I will find the discontinued Once Upon A Time. And it will be mine. And my life will be complete. But not my nail polish collection.

I thought It might be interesting to do a post on the Barry M polishes I have collected so far.

It's probably not that interesting, but I'm going to show you anyway so humor me.

Oh yes.

This was much harder to arrange than it looks.

It looks good so almost worth it.

But no, never again.
