Claire's Accessories Glitter Nail Polish, £2.50 each
(L-R three coats, two coats, one coat)
Over the festive period, like most beauty obsessed girls, I was craving glittery nails. If it was socially accepted I'd wear glittery shades all year round. Being out of work at the time I resisted with all my might buying the blogger fave OPI rainbow connection, and demonstrated impressive self control when Model's Own released a glitter box set. I was, however, going to allow myself one small festive treat, so I set out to purchase Model's Own Juicy Jules. To my disappointment it was sold out in my local Boots. Not a surprise really as I've seen it on so many beauty blogger's fave lists.
Imagine my surprise and delight when on a whim I popped into Claire's Accessories of all places and found a whole row of glitter nail polishes for the bargainous price of £2.50! They had so many colours to choose from. I chose a lovely royal blue colour and a holographic silver glitter that from what I've seen, is a good dupe for Juicy Jules at half the price!
The polishes give good coverage considering how cheap they are and the glitter particles are quite densely packed in. I had to use three coats to give an opaque coverage, but I'd have used less if I'd have opted for a base coat. On the whole I think these are brilliant nail varnishes that I'll happily buy again next time an occasion calls for a little sparkle!
What's your favourite glitter shade? Have you tried any of the Claire's Accessories nail polishes?
