Are You Sparkalaphobic!?

Dia daoibh!

So, gradually I am being slightly enticed by glitter. Most people that know me, know that I'm not a "glittery" kinda gal. It's a bit tack-mac-tack a lot of the time, but this year a lot of nice glitter nail polishes have hit the shelves.

Lorraine over at 'John Its Only Make-Up!' recently blogged about her blue glittery nails thanks to Essence; a brand I really like for nail varnish. Now this was FULL ON BLUE GLITTER and I really liked it. I went on my own little trip and bought a bottle for myself but in a different colour. Now I still would't be a glitter fanatic, but I'm getting into it....gradually. Here's how!

Step 1: base colour.

Step 2: SOME glitter. Just one coat! I usually just do my thumb and engagement ring finger on each hand, but last night.... I went further and did every second fingernail!! BOO YA!! (even though that only makes it one nail more; but shhhh!)

Are you sparkalaphobic!? (I googled!)

Slán!

Models Own - Bronze Rage

FitznBitz 9:53 AM Beauty Bitz , Models Own 6 Comments

Hi All

Ok so this is just a super quick post on this Models Own Nail Varnish. This one in particular is called Bronze Rage. It's a deep burnt orangey bronze colour. Not a colour I'd usually go for but I'm a chancer!!

As far as I am aware, this came out last year in the Spring/Summer Collection. Models Own are forever releasing new collections and I have to say I am a fan. I'm not a trend follower but there's always at least one that catches my eye from each collection. The varnishes price at about €7.50 each and are available from places such as Boots, River Island, Asos. (Boots are great for going 3 for 2 offers on Models Own)

One thing in particular I like about these nails varnishes is the staying power. It stays on for a good 3 days before it starts to chip at all. I would consider this an achievement. Also I love the application of these metallic ones in particular. They seem to glide on to your nails very smoothly and turns out very sleek with no streaks. They also seem to dry reasonably quickly.

Any recommendations for Models Own shades for me? I particularly like brown, greys, taupes, purples and them kind of things amongst pastels also!

Slán!
