My First Post :D

I've been inspired by a friend to create a blog to show my nail art, along with occasional new purchases and reviews :)

My latest purchase was 'Material Girl' from the China Glaze Eye Candy 3D Glitter range:



I'd seen pictures of Teenage Dream by OPI from the Katy Perry collection but it was so hard to find at a decent price I ended up searching for something similar and on a more affordable budget. I bought this from Beauty Inside on Amazon for £5.95 (the most I've ever paid for a nail varnish, but totally worth it) which included postage and packaging. It arrived very quickly, I ordered it on a Tuesday (during a break in my life drawing class at college :P) and it arrived the following Friday in lots of packaging. I was ill that day so it really cheered me up to see it had arrived :)

From what I can tell it's a LOT of pale pink glitter in a clear base. The glitter is tiny round bits and large and small hexagonal bits, and I LOVE it! Here it is with two thickish coats and clear on top:

Apologies if the quality isn't top notch, I use my mobile :P I really like this varnish, it's really girly and glittery and the bottle is huge compared to some of my other nail varnishes. The only teensy downside to me is that it's not smooth on your nails, but what did I expect what with the amount of glitter that's in it! I made it a bit smoother by putting several layers of clear over the top so it doesn't catch on materials and stuff. Now I worry how I'll get it off, might have to try the felt method seeing as the foil one doesn't seem to work very well :)
