Blue and Silver glittery nails

Now almost every other day I change the nail varnish I am wearing whether it is to match an outfit better or to simply mix things up a bit. I have decided to do a post on the current nail varnish that I am wearing as I am simply in love with it!. I am wearing blue nail varnish on 4 of my nails and a silver nail varnish with silver sparkles on 1 nail on each hand just to jazz it up a little.



The nail varnishes from left
1)Academy of colour nail varnish
This is a clear nail varnish with lots of silver glitter and sparkles mixed in.The reason that this nail varnish doesn't have a name is because it was part of an academy of colour nail varnish trio that I picked up in Morrison's at Christmas time for £2.00.I wasn't expecting much from this nail varnish if I am honest but I was thoroughly surprised and happy with the result as it only took one coat in order to get a glitter effect and did not smudge at all!.Hooray!.
2) Maybelline Colour show by colorama nail varnish in Watery Waste 107
I originally bought this nail varnish for my prom but never actually ended up using it so I thought I would give it a pop. The varnish itself is very thin so I had to apply 2 coats but it did dry quite quickly though. The varnish dried into a shiny silver which reflects light well like any metallic metal colour should. I am very impressed with the combination of the silver and silver glitter as it really does look lovely and compliments my blue nail varnish nicely.
3) Barry M Cyan Blue 294
I am a massive fan of Barry M nail varnishes as are many of you so was very happy when this nail varnish did not disappoint. I usually wear this polish as a basecoat under a glittery blue nail effects varnish so really wanted to try it by itself. I only had to apply one coat of this varnish as it is quite quick but not too thick. My only concern with this varnish is that it takes about 5 minutes to completely dry so you have to have patience when using it as you don't want to risk it smudging which it does quite easily at first. After the nail varnish has dried it is a very strong coat which fails to chip (I have been wearing it for 7 days,woo) and feels like a smooth gel varnish. I also love the colour as it is quite a bright blue but not so bright that it looks tacky.
I hope you have liked this post and maybe my nails!
Have you been wearing any nail varnishes recently?
