Sparkly Christmas nails!

Just in case you haven't noticed, Christmas is now less than 2 weeks away! EEEEEK! I haven't bought all my presents yet but I've decided to leave the rest until I go shopping Christmas Eve, risky I know. I might not be prepared on the presents front but at least my nails will be looking fabulous! 
 
I was in Superdrug shopping for hair dye (more on that another time!) and I had a little browse around because was never going to go into Superdrug and come out with just what I went in for, that would be madness.



 
I didn't go mad but I did spot a gorgeous sparkly red! I thought it looked perfect for this time of year so I picked one up. This ones from Rimmel, I did spot a similar Barry M one, which I would usually go for, but its nice to have a change!



 
The polish is called Ruby Crush from the Rimmel Precious Stones range. It has red and larger pieces of silver glitter, it looks so beautiful on! I did find that on its own it wasn't that great, but I find that with most glittery polishes I've tried. I used my Barry M polish in Red Wine as a base and then just used a coat of Ruby Crush over the top. Both of the polishes look really great together, I really like Red Wine for this time of year because it isn't a bright red, to me it looks like a Christmassy kind of shade. As a top coat I used the Barry M Plumpy top coa, this gives your nails a bit of a gel effect, especially when its used with a polish from their Gelly range.
 
This polish is really gorgeous though and you should definitely grab one if you see it. No doubt I'll be wearing this tons, I might as well make the most of this beautiful polish while I can!

Barry M!

Well it seems like spring is finally here! Of course this meant I had to buy more nail polish! I got some Barry M nail polish for Christmas and decided to get a few more 'springy' colours to add to the collection. I got mine from Amazon, it was a little bit cheaper than getting it from The Barry M website, I managed to get these 4 for £3 each, they're usually around £4 so not a huge discount but better than nowt! I picked colours from the gelly collection, they're supposed to be extra shiny and appear to be more like gel nails, I think it looks pretty good! 
The colour I used first (prickly peach) pictured below took a few coats but well worth it, now let's see how long they last! I have also purchased some nails stickers/decals so excited to try these out with the new colours when they arrive!
