// NAIL OF THE DAY // CHINA GLAZE BLING IT ON //

I'M BACK!

So you may (probably not) have noticed that I haven't posted in a month and that is because I have been away! I spent some time in the Philippines, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau. Anyway, whilst I was in Asia I bought a lot of bits and pieces, make up and clothing which will pop up on here eventually!
One of the products that I bought was this beautiful China Glaze nail polish that I picked up for the equivalent of £5 compared to it's UK price of £6.95! 

I expected this to be a dark polish with glitter running through it so I was a little disappointed when I tried it and realised that it's actually clear with flecks of glitter and sequins in. However, I do love it regardless.

I found the wear to be reasonably long lasting even when using a cheap MUA polish underneath and it lasted four days without any chipping. I also thought that it was blue but looking at it in closer detail it appears to be purple - whoops!

This shoddy attempt of me trying to make my nails look good was attempted by only using one layer of this polish, but I'm sure using more layers would give it a deeper effect!

I like this nail polish, but I just can't justify paying £5 for a nail polish, but I suppose that it is a massive bottle!




What do you guys think? Have you tried this polish - leave a comment below!

Barry M Matte Nail Paint in Vanilla

Okay, so I picked this up today in Superdrug as they had a 3 for 2 deal across all cosmetics. I love painting my nails, but I find that it does tend to make them very brittle if I have polish on them continuously for over a fortnight so I try not to paint them too often. As a result of this, I really go for it when I do paint them. I tend to go for very bold colours such as bright reds, blues and metallics. So, I thought that I would mix it up a little bit and go for a nail polish in more of a nude shade. I love this, it's a beautiful greyish/nude/purpley colour and I think that it just makes my nails look so elegant. I love the texture of the polish as well, it's a bit different from normal glossy nail polish colours and it's very on trend. I think I will definitely be picking up this polish in more shades.





As you can see, I'm not the best at painting my nails, they are quite messy. But I do really love this polish. My only dislike is that it doesn't have an entirely smooth texture as it's a very thick consistency. But that only really shows when you look very closely at your nails. Otherwise, I really recommend it!
