I was perusing Superdrug at the beginning of this month and spotted this very pretty glitter polish hiding away in the 2true stand… of course I had to buy it! It’s so pretty 🙂 Having been absolutely gutted that I couldn’t find Shade 2 (image at Northern Nails UK) anywhere last Winter, I didn’t want to miss this one which is slightly more pink.

The polish is quite sheer in terms of the base colour so I decided to layer it over Ciaté Pocket Money, which was free in this month’s Marie Claire. I LOVE this combination, it definitely livens up the slightly plain Pocket Money and the two colours really complement each other.

Yesterday I showed you the pretty Marshmallow Confetti Nail Effects from Barry M’s Summer releases, and today I have for you ‘Liquorice’ (my personal favourite so far…!). There are 5 new Confetti Nail Effects being released in total: Marshmallow, Liquorice, Dolly Mixture, Bubblegum and Sour Apple. Is anyone else loving the cute sweetie names? 🙂 Perhaps they should have been called ‘Confectionary Nail Effects’ ;).

As I mentioned yesterday, these are essentially the same as Nails Inc Feathers, but in different colours and WAY more affordable at £3.99 each. They will be released instore on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots.

Layered over 2True Shade 17 and Illamasqua Nudge.  Read More »

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Barry M Summer 2013 press release, Barry M will be bringing out 5 new Confetti Nail Effects Nail Paints in Marshmallow, Liquorice, Dolly Mixture, Bubblegum and Sour Apple 🙂 these will be released instore on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots. Today I am showing you Marshmallow, the prettiest soft pink bar glitter.

I did initially think, sigh, more Nails Inc Feather Effects (none of which particularly drew me in, with the possible exception of Cornwall), but at least these will be more affordable… I take back my previous thoughts! I love these so much, and I really really didn’t think I would! I do have to say that they look a million times better layered over a base colour rather than over the bare nail.

Hello lovelies! Today I should have been reviewing the new Barry M Sequin Effects, out on 8th May, but there was a little mix up in the Barry M warehouse which meant that most of us Barry M official bloggers were sent three products from the Summer release, which isn’t due in shops until June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots. The products all look super exciting anyway, and I will have three to show you over the next couple of days!

Don’t hate me… I’m so late with this post I may as well merge it with my April Nail Polish Haul… oops! March saw me cutting down my spending a little, as I was only paid half wages that month due to some time away from work. Even so I think I managed to pick up some very pretty pretties!
