Barry M Nail Paint Blue Moon


Barry M Nail Paint in Blue Moon (317) - £2.99 / Boots
Probably my favourite nail varnish at the moment! This is such a beautiful colour, I'm absolutely loving all those pastel blue hues! When i saw this I was instantly in love, but let me tell you something... THIS IS A PAIN TO APPLY. It's very sheer so you need at least 4 coats, it's time consuming and frustrating when you accidentally touch a nail and have to repaint all over again gaaah. There are some weird pearly purple particles in this but are completely unnoticeable on the nails, and they give a nice sheen. In my experience it lasts a good week on false nails and 4 on real nails, definitely living up the good Barry M standards, as all their nail varnishes are absolutely fabulous! They're only £2.99 which is a huge bonus, can't go wrong with that price tag!

On the side note, is anyone watching the Euros? I never thought I would enjoy football this much, but i guess it's in my blood! The atmosphere in the house always gets a little tense as we all support different teams but I LOVE IT. Really rooting for Germany to win so can't wait until their next game on Thursday! Should probably refrain from entering the 'extreme fangirl' mode so I don't get too disappointed (the teams i want to win ALWAYS lose). Is anyone else enjoying the Euros as much as me, or are you all fed up of this football malarkey? (most likely the latter haha)

Favourite Nail Combo - Inglot and Miss Sporty


Genuinely been dying to share this with you! I think deep down i was always a fan of that little "bling" on the nails (though too ashamed to admit it) but I've seen so many people wearing glitter nail polish I think it's a bit acceptable now. I especially love this combination because of the nude-like polish underneath, it definitely makes the glitter stand out. 

The nude polish is from Inglot, and if they have a counter near you I command you to buy some Inglot polishes. So amazing. I think they're around £8 here, so not TOO bad for a nail polish but i normally tend to stay around the £5 mark. Let me tell you something, i have NEVER come across a nail polish that doesn't chip for 5+ days, but this stuff is really great. Another advantage is you get 15ml of product, a nice big bottle that will last you for a lifetime. 


Anyway the other polish is the glitter one by Miss Sporty, which was super cheap (£1.99) and i'm so surprised by the quality. There's bigger bits of purple and blue glitter, and finer bits of silver glitter - so sparkly! The coloured glitter isn't very flashy so it's not too "out there" and tacky. One coat of the polish is enough  (I'm wearing two in the picture) so if you think about it, you're getting a lot of product for £1.99!
