W7 - Red & Barry M - Pink Sapphire Glitter

Hi All

Just a quickie post today, I'm feeling vile, and the interenet is being hit and miss at the moment, so I'm grabbing it while it's working! Simple red base, and glitter today.

This is a pretty boring combo but it was getting late when I did these and I needed my nails painted for work the next day. While I like the look of bar glitters it always bugs me when I wear them as they just do whatever they please. Maybe I should have used another coat to even things out.

And that's all from me, I'm gonna go get into bed and watch a film while painting my nails.

Barry M Glitter Swatches

Hi all, hope you've all had a good week!

I can't believe it's the start of February already! Time seriously flies when you work full time. I still haven't settled fully into a decent routine, which is why my posting is still a bit sporadic, so more apologies from me!

Today I have swatches for you lovelies of all the Barry M glitter polishes I bought in December.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: W7- Black

Glitter: Barry M - Special Edition Glitter (2 coats I Think)

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Here's some swatches over black and white polish. These are all one coat, some thicker than others.

Barry M - Special Edition Glitter - SLE 2012 (1)

Barry M - Pink Sapphire Glitter (2)

Barry M - Yellow Topaz Glitter (3)

Barry M - Rose Quartz Glitter (4)

 

 

I love the little micro holo glitter that exists in Rose Quartz Glitter (4) & Yellow Topaz Glitter (3). These two are basically the same glitter, medium coloured glitter, holo micro glitter, but Yellow Topaz Glitter has medium holographic glitter too.

The Special Editon Glitter (1) has no holographic glitter at all but the mix of colours is really nice, however, looking at these photos it seems like the green glitter in it looks like it's started to curl.. Pink Sapphire Glitter (3) has pink holographic medium glitter, and holographic bar glitter with some fuchsia micro glitter.

Do you have a favourite from the bunch? Expect to see a lot more of these, I'm really loving glitter at the moment!

Inspired By A Book - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all! Bit of a late one today, but I've been enjoying films and chilling today ^-^

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping is to create a manicure inspired by a book you're currently reading. So as I'm not a massive reader I nabbed the book my mother's currently reading. I'm the kind of girl who will slap on some SPF and lay out on the grass in the summer with shades on and a book to read, with a kittie by my side (usually Cheese) in the shade I'm creating. So while I'm currently hoping for snow, I've already started a list of which books I wanna read this summer :D

So this manicure is inspired by Valley Of Silence by Nora Roberts, I was in a rush to do these, and haven't even read the blurb so I have no idea whether I should recommend or not!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Rimmel - White

Glitter: Barry M - Pink Sapphire Glitter

Stamping Colour: Miss Sporty - Fatal Plum

Image Plates: Cheeky CH50, Bundle Monster BM05

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanved Hard As Nails

Here's what I used:

I added the glitter as it seemed like there were too many white gaps. Also, notice the fact I have the summer Cheeky plates, I'm so excited, I haven't tried them all yet, but there's so much I want to do, so expect to see a lot a lot of Cheeky stamping soon once I've checked they all work!

Hope you've all had a good weekend, mine has gone far too quickly, and I haven't had a chance to remotely play catch up with my reading list! Always tomorrow though ;]

Barry M Glitter Haul

Hi all! :]

A couple weeks back I decided it had been too long since I bought a new polish.. So I bought four new glittery goodies from Barry M :D

L - R : Barry M - Pink Sapphire (352), Rose Quartz (349), Yellow Topaz (351), SLE 2012

So far I've used Yellow Topaz Glitter, and SLE 2012 glitter. I'm fond of both, and although the limited edition one I bought from Superdrug has blue glitter in, it's still really festive =]

Hope everyone's having a good Wednesday :]
