Glitter galore!

Better late than never!

Good evening everyone! This is a super-duper late post but I've been busy since finishing work at 8 so now will have to do ;-). I got the idea for this post from a friend of mine, and they suggested I should do one on glitter polishes! I adore glitters, and I have loads and loads of them! I know that some people stay away from glitter polish because of the removal process, as it's quite hard to get off after. Sometimes that's the primary reason why I wear them, for the longevity! For example if I have to go to work but I want my nails to last for the day in to the evening, I will wear a glitter over the top of my nails just to make it last until I want it to come off, because I know it's going to have less of a tendency to chip as much as just a gloss polish. I've also got a really good removal technique that I learnt from someone on YouTube (I can't remember their name!), that I use to remove glitter polish and is unmistakably simple! (I will do a separate post for the removal process!).
                                                                                           

 
So what I was gonna do is just let you guys know what a couple of my favourite glitters are, what brand etc! I think the first glitter polishes that I purchased that I really really liked was one from OPI. It's called 'Rainbow Connection' and is from The Muppets collection. It includes all different coloured shapes and coloured particles within a clear liquid. This is one of those glitters that is packed with particles and shiny bits, and has more colour than clear polish in it (which I love!). I'm not sure if this one is able to be purchased anymore because I got it quite a while ago in a random store, but I'll be gutted if I can't get it anywhere else as it is a favourite of mine!

 
                                                                           

The next one that I'm gonna talk about is called 'Over The Rainbow' by Leighton Denny. (Yes, there is a theme going on here lol). This is also another jam packed glitter polish. It works really well over all colours, as it's got so many different colours in it! I haven't had this one for very long, and it's still able to be purchased. I got mine in a duo from QVCUK.com. This glitter also pairs perfectly with my favourite polish 'Baker Street' by Nails Inc, just on a ring finger for a hint of glitz, or over all of the nails for a fully bling look!








The other kind of glitters that I adore are the jewellery effect nail polishes from Nails Inc. They have all different shaped pieces of glitter but all in the same colour, giving the nails a dimensional effect! Furthermore, I like some other glitters that have a full coverage, especially at Christmas time! Silver glitter nails on their own is also another that I really like!
                                                                                    

So, I could be here for hours talking about glitters because there are so many that I own/like/want! If any of you want to know or see any of the others I have, let me know and I can do a separate post on what they are and where I got them from etc! :-) As always if you have questions or comments, leave them on here or tweet me by clicking my name! :-) (@RiaHughesThen)
