Barry M Pink Sapphire Jewel Glitter Nail Paint Swatch & Review

Hey guys I am always looking at my nail polish collection and thinking of polishes I haven't swatched yet and this is one of them.


I used one coat for this, the polish was a bit old so I thought it would be very lumpy but it went on so smoothly. I love it and its so easy,and those little silver glitters actually stuck down unlike the models own one!


I tried to clean up my cuticles and i accidently took loads of polish off looool I need to practise! But anyways I used this colour over 3 coats of Butter London Teddy Girl which I have a post on here.

Butter London Teddy Girl Swatch & Review

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted regularly I've been so busy but today I made loads of blog posts so I will be posting every day next week. Right now I'm watching X Factor and its my guilty please I absolutely love it!


I used 3 coats to get this colour. You need 3 coats to get it really opaque. I also used a topcoat because it was a bit splotchy. I absolutely love this colour it is the PERFECT baby pink colour. I wanted this colour for so long so when I finally splurged I was so excited!


At first I thought it was such a waste of money and it wasnt pigmented but actually compared to the other polishes it is amazing! I really want to buy other Butter London polishes but they are so expensive! I paid £10.50 for it and I bought it at Selfridges. You can buy it from amazon here.

Easy Pink Ombre Manicure!

Hey guys so I am really annoyed that I can't do daily posts! I am so busy but I am starting to do all of my homework on the weekdays so I have the weekend free to hang out with friends and plan and make blog posts for the upcoming week.


It was so easy and took about 5 minutes! Its such a quick way of jazzing up your nails without having to be good at nail art, or if you're in a rush!

Bright Blue and Purple Leopard Print Nail Art

Hey guys I'm so sorry I haven't been posting every day like I was last week, I have had so much homework I don't have any time!! I really want to invest in a light so I can take pictures at night but we'll see.


I used Barry M Gelly in Greenberry on the pointer and little finger. Then on the middle finger and ring finger I used JulieG Nail Polish in Fashion Friday. I used the greenberry for the leopard print and then a black and a dotting tool for the design bit.


There is a few different nail tutorials on leopard print, I would recommend you follow one with a dotting tool method as it is much easier than using a nail art brush.


I also used China Glaze Fairy Dust underneath the nail polishes before I did a design on them.

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
