UK BLACK AND WHITE GLITTER COMPARISON

Hi guys, I've managed to find myself with 10 spare minutes tonight so I thought I'd do a little post for you :)
As you may have seen the oh so famous black and white glitters are now popping up in UK stores which prompted me to do a little comparison for you. 

My middle finger I've used one coat of Ninja Polish Sticks n' Stones as a reference ($9.00 from Ninja Polish, currently out of stock)
My Index finger I've used one coat of Boots Seventeen Off The Wall Graffiti nail effects (£3.99 from Boots)
My ring finger I've used one coat of Claire's Black Mix glitter (£3.00 from Claire's)
My pinky finger I've used one coat of Maybelline Polka Dots Chalk Dust (no longer available in store but you can get it from eBay, price varies)

My base colour is Angelica nails Pillar Box Red* 

I'm not going to describe them with words, just scroll down and look at the macro pictures because they'll do a better job than I will!
















My least favourite is the Seventeen one from Boots mainly because it's a bit clumpy and there's a bit too much going on! I love them all though and if you don't own any black and white glitters then go and get some because they're awesome. 
If you have any black and white glitters you've seen on the UK market that you would like to include here please leave a comment below or tweet me or email etc etc. 

*These products were sent to me for my honest review. See my disclosure policy for more details

ILLAMASQUA RADIUM & POKE WITH CLAIRE'S BLACK MIX GLITTER

Hi guys, I'm really tired and I have to be up early tomorrow for uni so today I have some simple nails to show you. 
For these I've used Illamasqua Radium on all the fingers except the accent nail where I applied Illamasqua Poke and then to tie all the nails together I applied one coat of Claire's Black Mix Glitter and a simple, cool mani :)






I expected some awesome nail mail on Saturday which never showed up and it'll probably turn up tomorrow when I won't have time to swatch them all week. Anywho enjoy your week and I'll see you guys soon :)

DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN?

Happy Friday guys, have you got any nice plans for the weekend? I'll be spending my weekend studying and I'm expecting some very exciting nail mail which I hope to have swatched and posted this weekend for you guys :)
So Frozen. I went to go and watch it back in January and my friend is obsessed with the songs, seriously she sings them all day, even when we're being blown off Mount Snowdon! Haha, so with that song ringing in my ears I decided to do some Olaf nails, because how could I not? 
To begin with I applied two coats of  Kiko 340 and then used Color Club Chelsea Girl and Kiko 340 and a makeup sponge to do a gradient on all my nails, I applied one coat of Claire's Fluffy (which I reviewed here) and drew Olaf on my middle finger. 

'Hi I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs'

CLAIRE'S BLACK MIX GLITTER

Hi everyone, how are you all? Are you excited for christmas? So today I have another new polish I picked up from Claire's which would also make a lovely gift !
This is just called School Day I think but my bottle says Black Mix Glitter and it is a lovely black and white glitter. 
I've shown this over Zoya Bevin. The formula on this one is perfect, better than the Fluffy polish from Claire's which I showed you here








So you can buy this online from the Claire's website for £3 with 25% off or you can pick it up in your nearest store. This would make a lovely christmas present for anyone really (including yourself teehee) 
A black and white glitter is a must have in any polishaholics stash and this is a really good, inexpensive and easy to find choice for UK ladies :)
There are several black and white glitter polishes available in the uk now so I will be doing a comparison post very soon :)
