NOTD



Here are my nails!  I think I saw someone have nails sort of like this before and I wanted to try it out ( I can't remember where though, so if you know, please tell me so I can give them credit!)
Here are the products:
Base: Rimmel Lycra Pro 
Base colour under shatter: Barry M 'Bright Pink'
Shatter Polish: 'Glam Rock'
Top coat: Seche Vite.
I'm pretty proud of this look! It certainly looks better in person. I can't wait to show it off! Also, it's my boyfriends birthday tomorrow, so I'll have to do last minute preps of presents and make him some cakes :) 
See you all soon!
Love love xoxo.

Beauty UK Shatter Polishes: Review & Swatches

Here are my swatches of the Beauty UK Polishes in 'Night Fever No.6' & 'Glam Rock No.3'


Here is 'Night Fever' over 
Pinky: Rimmel Pros 'Posh Trash'
Ring finger: Nails INC's 'Jermyn Street'
Middle finger: Revlon's 'Passion Fruit'
Index finger: E.L.F's 'Coral'
Thumb: Rimmel 60 seconds in 'Black Out'
I'm unsure of this Gold colour, it's a very yellow based Gold with fine glitter, infact it's more like a metalic yellow? I can't really explain it. It's a nice polish I just don't know if it suits my skin colour, it'll probably take me a while to get used to. 
For £2.99 it's a good price, and it does it's job well. It's got a wide brush, not as wide as the Rimmel 60 seconds polishes, but it makes it easier to apply than the Barry M Crackles, but that's my opinion. :)

Here is 'Glam Rock' over:
Pinky: E.L.F's 'Desert Haze'
Ring finger: Barry M's 'Mint Green'
Middle finger: Nails INC's 'Electris Teal'
Index finger: Barry M's 'Bright Pink'
Thumb: Rimmel 60 seconds in 'Black Out'
This is a light silver with fine silver glitter. I much prefer this one to the gold, probably because I can match it to more of my polishes, (I always wear silver jewellery and rarely gold jewellery, so that probably influences me)

So yeah, for £2.99 these aren't bad polishes, they would be a good addition to any polish collection, the wear is good too, I tried it just on my thumbs the other day because I was too eager to wait and it lasted quite a while even without a topcoat. 
You could always buy these to try out before buying the OPI ones or just get these as a cheaper alternative, which I have done.
Let me know if you like these colour combos or want me to try out some others for you :)


Thanks for reading, talk to your sooon!
