Essie Leading Lady
I spied this in a magazine last week and couldn't resist one of Essie's festive offerings! The polish is a burgundy type plummy red with glitter within it. I was worried it would be a bit too thin in terms of the colour of the actual polish but I was wrong! With two coats there is good coverage so it's not the kind of glitter polish that you need to apply on top of another colour. It is the perfect berry shade for the Christmas and party season.

Barry M Glitter Polish
I went on another sparkle spree today and treated myself to two Barry M glitter polishes.
The first shade is 'Pink Sapphire Glitter (no. 352).
This polish consists of pink and holographic silver particles suspended in a clear polish. The polish is presented in the normal Barry M style bottle of which I'm a fan. It is simple and functional with a good sized brush. The particles vary in size and give a good coverage with a couple of coats. I'm not a fan of glitter polishes worn alone so would wear this over a black polish or a pink shade to give it more of a kick.
The second shade is 'Amethyst Glitter' (no. 354) which is different in texture to Pink Sapphire. The glitter particles are smaller and if the more traditional variety. There is a mix of silver, turquoise, red and purple particles in the clear polish and, compared to other glitter polishes I've tried, gave a good coverage in one coat. Again, I would use over a coloured base but this gave enough sparkle to tempt me to wear it alone.
The polishes were £2.99 each and were today in sale in Boots as part if a buy one get one half price offer so there's a bargain to be had if you fancy some sparkle.

Collection Bedazzled Nail Effects in Glittersweet
This little beauty caught my eye while doing my weekly food shop and I couldn't resist a little bit of nail bling.
The shade I bought is no.4 'glittersweet' which is a turquoise and silver mix suspended in a clear polish.
When worn, the glitter particles spread out quite thinly so you may require a second coat if you wanted more coverage in terms of sparkle. I would be tempted to wear this over a glossy black polish rather than on its own. In terms of packaging I'm not a big fan of the larger round lids as I don't find them as precise in the application process. The brush gives a reasonable coverage despite being quite thin. Personally I would have liked a thicker brush for speedier application.
Overall I would say at £2.99 RRP it is a bit of a bling bargain and is worth a buy if you like twinkly talons!
Information from Collection:
- Available in four fabulous shades, these glitterfully glamorous pots of polish deliver complete shimmering glimmer.
- Multi-tonal and multi-functional
- Powerful-punches of light-reflecting lacquers to keep you dazzling all the way to the dancefloor!
RRP £ 2.99
P.S sorry for the lack of swatches but my nails are less than camera ready at the moment and wouldn't want to scare you all with my mitts!
