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 - Magenta Glitter

Barry M Magenta Glitter is a Superdrug exclusive.

It is similar to Aqua Glitter in that it has two sizes of glitter. However, unlike Aqua Glitter the larger glitter doesn't stand out quite as much after more than one coat.

That's not necessarily a negative point, merely an observation worth making.

I still think it is a stunner. 

Again, like Aqua Glitter, one coat will make a very pretty topcoat to jazz up a more ordinary polish.

I stopped at three coats even though it wasn't fully opaque, a forth would have done it but I was afraid of losing sight of those hex glitters altogether.

  Application was nice and easy, it went on evenly so no having to faff around arranging the glitter. Always a plus point, I think you'll agree! And I adore the colour, I'd say it's a more dark magenta, but magenta none the less. It will look gorgeous layered over a nice turquoise or teal to contrast against. I already have some combinations I want to try out with this one so you can expect to see it popping up again on here in the near future!
