PARTY SEASON GLITTER NAIL POLISH PICKS

It appears all I have been talking about this past week is nails, and the upcoming party season. I've put the two together, and have a mini edit lined up for you today. Glitter nails are the way to go when you want something a little jazzy to get you in the party spirit. 
I'll start with the standard clear base, sparkly glitter options, and them move on to the more exciting options afterwards. 

Starting with my personal favourite, this is Gosh Girls On Film which is chunky rosy-pinky toned glitter pieces and then smaller holographic glitter in it too. This is brilliant for an accent nail alongside any colour you own. 

Then we have the 'Light Top Coater' Option. Unfortunately, this is discontinued now, but it is Gosh Magic Star which is a iridescent shimmer/glitter topcoat, which once again, looks great on top of everything. This is one to catch an eye on the dancefloor.

Then, we have a really affordable option, of Rimmel Disco Ball which was actually gifted to me in a Secret Santa at school (it wasn't all that secret, I found out this boy had picked my name out the bag in a matter of days...), but it is a classic. There's some silvery, purple toned small glitter in there, alongside a shed load of holographic-ness. I do love this one, though I don't wear it very often at all. 

Moving onto the interesting ones. This is BYS Voo-Doo-Violet so will be super cheap if you can locate it. Basically, this is a purple jelly based polish, with chunky particles of silver, pale purple, and holographic glitters in a few different sizes, some of which sink to the bottom leaving it a little lumpy and bumpy, but the others stay at the top and it looks like you have put in some crazy effort for this mani. Not bad for a pound or two?

Finally, Gosh Holographic Hero or Gosh Holographic if you own that one too (like me, yay)! Strictly speaking, this isn't a glitter, but how can I not include a full on holographic polish in this post. This is full on rainbow effect, and people who don't know much about nails will be in awe of your digits. Beware of the early appearing tipwear, and some minor chipping in a few hours, but for your one party evening, get painting. 

I don't think any beauty junkie can go past festive and party nails without thinking one thing, glitter.

 

My Spring Nail Polish Picks! - High End and Drugstore

Hi everyone! So, Spring is just around the corner, and I really like things to match with the seasons, so I will do a few posts on my blush, jewellery, lip, and nail polish picks. This is my polish post, so I hope you enjoy it! With polishes ranging from high end/luxury to drugstore, this is a great selection!

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Greenberry £3.99

 I absolutely adore Barry M nail polishes, and when this new collection came out I had to get one. I picked this for one of my top 5 spring polishes as it is pretty and pastel, but also very bright, and uplifting and not your normal pastel turquoise colour. I can't fault this at all!

OPI Nail Lacquer in Red Lights Ahead...Where?! £8.50-£11.00 depending on the place of purchase.

 OPI nail polishes are flawless. This one is incredible. It's a vibrant pink-red coral colour, opaque in 1-2 coats. The lasting time is great, which you would expect for such a good quality polish. I really love just simple creme colours on my nails in the spring, I have no idea why, but I just don't lean towards shimmers and glitters as much in the warmer months.

China Glaze in Passion For Petals - Around £7-£8 

China Glaze are another great high end brand. This polish is a lovely pink/coral creme colour, which I absolutely adore. It is from their recent Avantgarden collection, so you should still be able to pick it up! The drying time of this polish is great as well, so you won't have to wait around for it to dry!

GOSH - Miss Minty £4.99

 Hands down, one of my favourite nail polishes. Hence the dirty cap, and it being half empty. I must buy another one of these, as the GOSH polishes are so incredible and I will probably cry when this one runs out. I was wearing this in autumn and winter for crying out loud, I must love it if I was wearing a pretty pastel in the month of oxblood and deep plums.

Fearne Cotton Polish in Lemon Drizzle.

You can't do a spring nail polish post without a nice pastel yellow creme. I have a weird hing about yellows. If they aren't like this one (pretty and pastel) I won't wear it. I feel strange about it, like I have mouldy nails or something. Yellows just don't suit my skin tone, but this one is lovely. This came in a Christmas set, but I am pretty sure that if you shop around online you will most certainly find it!

So, let me know some of your favourite spring/summer polishes in the comments! I have my eye on Essie Fiji, Mint Candy Apple and Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in Lychee.
