Barry M Nail Paint Boots Limited Edition 335 'Silver Lights'

 
Barry M Nail Paint Boots Limited Edition 335 'Silver Lights' - £3.99
 
For someone who doesn't paint their nails all that often, i'm starting to build up quite a considerable nail polish collection. Helped by accumulating 7 nail varnishes over Christmas from my family and friends! Didn't even get any duplicates either which was lucky.
 
Today's post is dedicated to possibly my favourite of the lot I got for Christmas and it is the Barry M nail Paint which doesn't appear to have a name, just a number of 335 and also says it's a Boots Limited Edition polish. However, when I was researching this product I found it on the Boots website and it is called Silver Lights, why that has not been put on the bottom of the bottle I don't know. I do wish they would always have names on the bottles, regardless if they are a Limited Edition product or not, it's much nicer and I also wish they had released this colour into the permanent line as it is absolutely stunning!
 
 
 
It is a beautiful silver holographic glitter, it is a finely milled glitter which is my favourite compared to the big chunky glitters pieces you can get in some nail varnishes.
 
I wore this colour for New Years Eve, it just seemed so perfect for that occassion and would suit any party look perfectly! I also had this on when I went to see the new Gravity film in the cinema in 3D with one of my friends (an incredible film by the way!) and it just reminded me of the stars and space and it just seemed very fitting for that too.
 


Depending on how you want to wear this, you could use it as a top coat over another colour to add that sparkle. But if you want fully opaque colour like I have in the picture then you will need three coats. If you're a bit heavy handed with your coats then you could potentially do it in two but your best bet is to go for three. It's a great formula and doesn't take too long to dry. I've worn it for 4 days now so far and it hasn't chipped at all.
 
I've been on the look out for a nice silver holographic glitter and i've now found the perfect one! I'm just so gutted it is a limited edition product for Christmas 2013 and I won't be able to buy this anytime, but I will easily be able to find something similar.
 
I couldn't find it in the Boots nearest to me when my sister and I looked as she quite fancied getting a bottle of it herself, but i've found it online for £3.99
(here).

Bonfire Night Nails

 
Barry M Amethyst Glitter Nail Paint - £2.99
 
Definitely one of my favourite nail polishes in my collection!
This beautiful glitter consisting of blue, silver, black, purple and pink glitter would work well with any party outfit.
 
I chose to wear this tonight, on Bonfire Night, as the polish perfectly sums up the dark night sky, with the dark blue but with the different glitter sparkles of colour coming through too. You can layer this over other colours (i'd suggest a black or a dark blue) or you could just do it over a good base coat like I have done here.
 
It's stunning to look at, and I get many compliments when i'm wearing it.
 
With a good base and top coat, this polish has so far lasted 5 days on my nails, with no sign of any chipping. This is just one coat aswell, I have found it is easy to achieve an opaque finish with one coat of any of Barry M glitter nail paints.
The only downside is that, like most glitter nail polishes, it is a bit of a hastle to remove, nevertheless it is totally worth it in my opinion.

 
(apologies for my short nails!)
 
 
For the bargain price of £2.99 you really can't go wrong.
Barry M are always having deals on their nail paints, normally on 3 for 2 in Boots or Superdrug, i'd definitely consider adding this to your collection, if you haven't already.
