If you love nail polish,
you can’t really avoid glitter at this time of year, it’s a basic requirement!
Most brands have brought out new glitter ranges and as I’m always on the hunt
for a bargain, I decided to see which was the best for under £5.
Barry M Glitterati - Fashion Icon*
By far the most glittery of the
polishes on test today, this is a purple coloured base crammed with holographic
glitter particles. My main complaint about this one is that it needs 3 coats to
be properly opaque, but it’s the sheerness that shows off the glitter. This one’s fab for when you want a full on party effect!
NYC - NY Princess*
It’s at the cheaper end of the scale
at only , but I have to say that this was my least favourite. It’s really
sort of gloopy - you can even see this in the pictures. It may sound odd but
the glitter didn’t really sparkle. The base colour is pretty deep and it really
flattens the glitter effect so it’s almost more matte and definitely not one
for the Christmas party.
Models
Own Diamond Luxe - Oval Plum*
This is the most costly of the set at and it's
somewhat diverse to the others as far as equation as well. The others are
genuinely sheer so the sparkle still shines however this is a strong shading
with outrageously fine sparkle. It was murky and prepared to go in only one
coat for me. Without a doubt, it's not as insane with Christmas shimmer as the
others, however it's an exquisite impact and I can see myself wearing it
throughout the entire year.
Miss
Sporty - Funtasy Pink*
Another offering here, but a
much more successful one in my opinion. It needs 2-3 coats to be opaque but
this means that the glitter isn’t overwhelmed and is still nice and sparkly.
This one is packed with micro holographic glitter, and it’s not quite as
sparkly as the Barry M, which contains larger pieces of glitter but its still a
great option for some Christmas sparkle. Especially at this price!
Basically
anything but the NY polish! The other three are pretty good. If you’re on a
tight budget, you can’t go far wrong with the Miss Sporty. Barry M Glitterati
is great for all out sparkle fun, and the Models Own is a more elegant option.
If you
forced me to choose just one, I’d probably go for the Models Own because it’s
party ready in just a single coat and I love the colour.
