NYC Lights Camera Glitter

Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Blueberry

As I'm sure you're aware, I have a love (more of an obsession really) with nail polish, my collection is unbelievable! I've been getting really bored with just block coloured nails lately so I decided to jazz them up a little!

I simply started with Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine in Blueberry, which by itself is a beautiful colour don't get me wrong but let's be honest it's just a blue nail varnish. When I was in Superdrug the other day I couldn't resist picking up this NYC Lights Camera Glitter nail varnish! 

It's basically a clear nail varnish with sprinkles of silver glitter and a few hexagon shaped holographic blue and lilac glitter thingys- great description I know!

 It's so pretty and glittery and girly and I just love it! I would say it takes about two to three coats (depending on how much glitter you want) to properly see the glitter. One thing I adore about this nail varnish is that it doesn't chip and when you apply it, it has like a top coat kind of finish.

The only issue I have with the NYC Lights Camera Glitter is it is a PAIN in the backside to remove! I had mine removed by the technician in the nail shop because I was getting my infills and even he struggled so unless you're happy to scrub it off with plenty of remover then I wouldn't advise it! Buttttttt then again, that isn't going to stop me wearing it!

Have you tried any NYC nail varnishes? Would you recommend any other glitter nail varnishes?

A TEENY TINY SUPERDRUG HAUL

Sooooo I went into my local superdrug with my mum and because I haven't been paid yet I intended not to purchase anything. Whoops. But to be fair, I barely spent anything so I have no reason to feel guilty! 

What did I pick up? Oh just a few essentials. Like I said in my May Empties post, I like to use face wipes to remove my make up and because I have combination skin (more on the dry side if I'm honest) these wipes seemed perfect so I'll let you know how good, or bad, these are in some upcoming posts. I also picked up my favourite hand cream and heat defence spray and some other bits.

I'm not a massive fan of drugstore makeup, I mean some items are complete gems and I absolutely love them but generally speaking they're obviously not as good as the high end brands, but nail varnish is an exception. There was no way I was going to walk past the NYC counter without taking advantage of the 3 for 2 offer. No way! I actually love some of the products NYC make, especially their nail polish. I picked up a glitter nail polish, which I wear would over an opaque nail varnish, called Lights Camera Glitter, a clear topcoat and a bubblegum pink nail varnish which funnily enough is called Bubblegum Pink. I am currently wearing the Lights Camera Glitter over Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine in Blueberry and I adoreeeeee it! Expect a post very soon!

The final item I bought which I think is by far the best, is Superdrug's Vitamin E All Over Body Moisturiser. I love love love love love this. I have previously used this before, loved it then and I love it now. I seriously cannot rave about this enough. Trust me ladies, whatever moisturiser you are currently using, bin it and get some of this (okay well maybe don't do that but you have to try this!) Everyone I have spoke to and all the blog posts I have read love this product, and when you try it you'll understand why. As you know I'm really funny about the smell of products but this smells great and leaves my skin silky soft. Just perfection in a tub, and for £2.99 you can't go wrong!

I hope to be reviewing some of these products very soon, so keep your eyes peeled. 

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think of them?
