Home Bargains - Silver Glitter

 This is from the new set Home Bargains have for Christmas, Go Glitter.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It looks good solo and as a topper, probably a bit better as a topper though! I think it looks good on the blue for sure! The brush was really good and the lid comfortable to hold. Lasted really well and I thought it was a nice simple glitter.

Beauty Line Cosmetics - Lime Garnish

 One from the Holiday Hauls, Greece this time.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (8-9 minutes a coat or a bit more). Make sure you dip the brush in and out a few times to get plenty glitters on the brush and this gives good coverage too. I think it looks really awesome and sooooooo Hallowe'en appropriate! It is a greeny yellow base with blue and green and yellow glitters! Lasted really well. Loved it and the only -ve is the drying time, but just use a top coat or spray to speed it up!

Kiko - Metallic Jungle Green (088)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and makes painting the nail nice. It is a lovely golden greeny colour, reminds me a little of Chanel's Peridot. This lasted really well and was impressed with the good formula.

Barry M - Cafe Velvet

 

This is okay to use, tricky to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). Careful application is required as it shrinks and splits like a crackle polish!!! You can see a few of these lines on the middle finger. It does happen a lot with matte polishes. Try to reduce the strokes on application. It looks okay and I do like the finish, just don't think the colour suits me. Lasted well.

Barry M - Kingsland Road

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous baby pink textured polish. It is quite textured but not rough like some. It was one of the first textures Barry M released a fair few years ago, maybe 2013? So just getting around to wearing it haha! Lasted really well.

17 - Nail Xtras Glitter Top Coat

 I put this on top of Essie's #essielove.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It looks nice over the red I think. It is a lovely sparkly glitter! It lasted well.

2True - Crystal Shade 8

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat or slightly longer). It is a nice purple jelly with pink and blue glitters and it is slightly iridescent too! It lasted okay, no complaints there!
