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!'.

Barry M - Aqua Glitter

Barry M glitters have always been a favourite of mine.

Densely packed and super sparkly, you can't go wrong.

Which is why I was more excited about the release of the new Barry M glitter polishes than I was for any of the other new releases.

The new glitters are Pink Silver Glitter (337), Silver Multi Glitter (338), Gold Glitter (339) , Aqua Glitter (340). The you have the Magenta Glitter (336) which is a Superdrug exclusive and Jewel Britannia which as far as I am aware will only be available online on the Barry M website and the Boots website.

The glitter I have to show you today is Aqua Glitter.

All my photos show it on it's own with no topcoat.

Aqua Glitter has two sizes of glitter, a micro glitter then small hex glitter which appears to be a slightly darker blue to the micro glitter. The overall effect gives a more 3D look and is obviously super sparkly.

At one coat it would make a great topcoat to add some sparkle to another polish.

At three coats I was happy enough with the opacity to stop.

I think you'll agree this is a gorgeous polish.

It dried quickly but if you are like me and don't like the grainy glitter finish you will want a layer of topcoat or two.

I just love the colour and texture the two different sizes of glitter give and I can't wait to try it layered over some other polishes.
