Top 3 Glitter nail polishes



Rimmel London rock your colour Glitter top coat in 'Disco Gold' - £4.59 Boots 


Models Own glitter polish in 'Pink Fizz' - £5.00 -link


Technic Nail varnish in 'Carnival' - 99p Bodycare -Alternative link

I thought I would do a post on my favourite glitter nail polishes, and these made the top three! I'll start with the Rimmel glitter top coat. This is the newest glitter polish in my collection, but I can definitely say it's my favourite! It's quite subtle compared to most glitters, however you can build up the amount by applying an extra coat or two. I love the mix of gold and silver sparkles, it's different from other glitter polishes I've tried. I think it goes with pretty much any colour, which makes it the perfect top coat. I've used it as my top coat pretty much constantly since buying it! Defnitely recommend this one!

Now, the Models own glitter polish. I wanted this exact colour for so long, but it seemed to have been discontinued in shops (I'm not sure if it's back again now?), anyway i ended up buying it on ebay and it cost me about £8.00 which is quite steep as they're supposed to be £5.00 but I paid it because I really wanted it. I really love this colour, but it's honestly the hardest nail polish to remove EVER. I remember spending about 40 minutes trying to remove it once, and I think even then I resorted to picking bits off. This is something that really bugs me about glitter polishes; this is also something that stops me from wearing this particular polish as much as I'd like because it's such a bitch to remove! But as far as the actual colour itself, I love it!

Finally, Technic 'Carnival'. I heard a lot about this earlier this year, as it's a dupe for OPI's Rainbow connection. I wasn't willing to pay £14+ for that so when I saw this Technic version for only 99p I immediately grabbed about six bottles! I love this polish, it goes so well with almost any colour, although I think it looks best with either dark colours like navy or black, or nude colours! I won't go into too much detail about this one as Ive mentioned it previously, and I'm sure a lot of you have already heard a lot about it! But it's definitely one of my favourites, i love how bright and multicoloured it is and it looks great on! Right I think thats enough now, this is probably the longest post I've done! What are your favourite glitter nail polishes? I'd love to hear some recommendations as I'm always looking to try more!

Sparkles.


Revlon nail enamel - £1.75 Ruby slipper & Silver belle

My flatmate has had this Revlon nail enamel in the 'rock star' shade for a while now and I always find myself using it.. It adds a bit of sparkle to any nail colour and i always find it a nice alternative to plain block colour. I'm really into glittery nails at the moment so I thought it was about time i got my own as i have been using hers for ages! I decided to get the plain silver glitter (silver belle)  and the red / silver glitter (ruby slipper). I ordered them here and they're only £1.75 each which i think is pretty good for a nail varnish considering the price of most standard nail enamels. There is also quite a variety of colour to choose from on the website, glitter and non-glitter, check it out! I would really recommend these nail enamels, for the price i think they are high quality and they last ages. They're also not too hard to remove which can tend to be a problem with glitter nail polishes.

Technic carnival glitter nail polish.




I've been lusting after OPI Rainbow Connection nail varnish for a while now. I'm obsessed with glitter polishes, I absolutely love them and I tend to wear a silver glitter over most colours i wear recently. I just think my nails look way more girly and sparkly that way :)

I didn't really fancy forking out £12.00+ for the OPI polish and i noticed people had compared this Technic polish in 'carnival' as a dupe. I think it really does look almost identical. I spotted this for about £5.00 on ebay recently and was thinking about buying it.. However i was shopping today and spotted this polish in a shop called Bodycare (for those who haven't heard of it, it generally sells beauty products / makeup at reduced prices). This polish was only 99p which i was amazed at so i grabbed 2 straight away! I can't believe i found it for such a cheap price and I'm so glad I didn't fork out for the OPI one now. I do really like OPI polishes but i find they are overpriced when you can get similar nail polishes at a fraction of the price. I've just tried out this glitter polish over a nude / grey colour nail varnish and it goes really well, so impressed with it!
