China Glaze Fairy Dust Swatch & Review

Hey guys so I know I've been doing a lot of polish swatches instead of nail art, I am at school so I only have the time to quickly swatch 1 nail polish after school. I will try and do designs on the weekends, but I might not have the chance.


I applied one coat over Barry M Blackberry Gelly Nail Polish. I am absolutely obsessed with this nail polish, it can instantly transform the nail polish or a nail art design. There are very small holographic glitters in it. 


I found about it through some nail art instagrams and I'm so glad I bought it! I bought mine from Amazon for £6 here. I don't normally spend that much money on nail polishes but its definitely worth it and I haven't found any drugstore alternative.

NYC Gramercy Glitz Swatch & Review

Hey guys I've been on a bit of a recent glitter kick recently. I don't know I just searched my blog on the weekend and  haven't swatched quite a few nail polishes in my collection; including my glitters. I am going to be throwing away old nail polishes soon and buying new ones, so there will be a lot of new swatches in the next few months.


Sorry the picture is blurry, for some reason my camera just got so confused on what to focus on! I have no nail polish on underneath because I thought it would have a more pinky undertone. It is basically a clear nail polish with pink and silver glitter.


It is very similar to a LA color nail polish which you can see here. Honestly I would rather use the LA colors version. This is alright, I did use 2 coats for these swatches. I had to remove it using the foil method (click here.) It is £2.49 from Superdrug which you can buy here.

Barry M Gelly Blackberry Nail Polish Swatch & Review

Hey guys so I have been swatching a lot of glitter polishes so I thought I would break the chain for a second and do a normal nail polish post. I absolutely love the Barry M glitters and when I have spare change I always pop into Superdrug and buy a new one.


It is a dark greeny blue colour, very perfect for autumn/fall. I only used 1 coat and it is extremely pigmented. I normally would use 2 if I wanted it to last longer than 2 days but 1 coat is perfectly fine. My cuticles are so messy, I really don't know how to clean up my cuticles properly yet.


I have worn this polish so much over the last year. It is a 'Hi-Shine' colour so you won't need a top coat. I have a lot of other Barry M swatches on my blog, so at the top of the page just search Barry M and have a snoop around! I got this polish for £3.99 at Superdrug. Check out the other Gellys here

Beauty UK Posh Polish in Intergalactic! Cheap Glitter Polish!

Hey guys so I rarely swatch glitter nail polishes so I thought today I would!


The glitter is clear with chunks of all different sizes and shapes and colours. It is so easy to apply and a very thin coat covers a lot of glitters on the nail. The colour I am wearing underneath the glitter is NYC In a Minute nail polish in Madison Avenue.


I love this polish because it took me no time at all the get the perfect glitters. It took me a while to remove but I have a blog post on how to remove glitter polishes which you can see here. I did a blog post on a different glitter polish from Models Own a few days ago which you can view here.

NYC In A Minute Nail Polish in Madison Avenue Swatch & Review

Hey guys so even though I am so busy and stressed with school at the moment I love blogging, its like a little escape from the actual world :). I bought this nail polish such a long time ago and I always forget I have it its really bad that I do that!

This polish is a dark red colour, it is so pigmented! I only used one thin coat for these pictures. I dont know if you can tell but you can sort of see my nail tips so if I wanted to wear this for a long period of time I would definitely wear 2 coats. 


The thing I hate about these fast dry NYC nail polishes is that they stain my nails soooo much! It's literally ridiculous. I had it on for only about a few hours and it made my nails so red. It fades in about a week but maybe if you use a thick base coat or ridge filler it will prevent that. I bought my bottle of nail polish for £1.79 at Superdrug.

Models Own Dancing Queen Swatch & Review

Hey guys so I rarely use glitter nail polishes because they are such a pain to remove but I haven't swatched this before so it was necessary haha. And I forgot what this nail polish looked like so I'm happy I did this post :)


I used 2 coats of Barry M Indigo which I blogged about the other day (click here). I used 1 coat of 'Dancing Queen.' As you can see it is a clear nail polish with chunks of small and large gold glitters, some green glitters and some different shaped and coloured glitters.


It isn't the easiest glitter to apply, it is hard to get an even amount of all of the glitters on the nail. Also the bigger glitters tend to stick up so you have to push them onto the nail to stick if that makes sense.

Barry M Indigo Nail Paint Swatch & Review

Hey guys so I really thought I had swatched this before but I searched my blog and nothing came up so here goes!


I didn't use a base coat and it still went on my nails really smoothly. I used 2 coats and no top coat, it is so shiny you definitely don't need a top coat. I love it so much it dries really quickly and is such a staple colour in my collection. 


Sorry about the glare in my nails you can see my window haha. That is just how shiny they are! You do have to paint the free edge of your nail or they will chip a bit but other than that I really recommend it. You can buy it from the Barry M website here, on amazon here or at a Boots or Superdrug store.
