I saw this colour today, and even though I'm going through a glitter phase, I had to get it. Such a cute pastel colour, which I don't have a lot of. And I have no blue pastel!
I used this in my last mani, using it on my ring finger with some sparkle over the top, then I decided to put my holo topcoat to see what it did and it was amazing.
So I ended up taking all the Goldmine glitter off (which was a complete pain) and putting this on my other nails, complete with holo topcoat.
The topcoat makes it go a shimmery cornflour blue, and in bright light it's super sparkly. I'll put two photos up, one with flash and one without. I just love it.

Barry M Gold Mine
Haven't posted in quite some time, since I've got a job with later hours I've not had much of a chance to do cute nails, but I went out today and got Barry M Goldmine, Denim and Gelly Blueberry.
So I decided to do Goldmine on all my nails except from my ring finger, which has the Barry M Gelly Blueberry on it, and I also used OPI Servin' Up Sparkle and placed a few of the larger hex glitters at the bottom as well as a one coat over the top.

Pink Silver Glitter!
I loved the last glittery Barry M polish I got, which was the Amethyst Glitter, so I had a quick browse and thought the pink silver glitter looked awesome.
Didn't even have to use a coloured base coat or anything because the glitter is dense and packed really close together. Two coats was fine but I went with three just to make it extra glittery! The colour is amazing and the texture is different to other glitters too, not as rough or gritty.
I'll put up two pictures, one with flash and one without, they both look awesome!
Any suggestions for which Barry M glitter I should get next?

Barry M Amethyst glitter!
I've been seeing this nail paint everywhere and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I've had be careful with my money and decided not to get it till now. It was so worth the wait, definitely one of my favourites I own, favourite glitter one for sure.
I've got Barry M Bright Purple on underneath this, and to be honest after one coat of the glitter it looked gorgeous, but I decided on a second one just to make it more sparkly.
I'd recommend it, super pretty!

Multicoloured leopard print!
Haven't done my nails in quite a while as I was working in a restaurant over Christmas and wasn't allowed to wear nail varnish, but hurrah, I can now go back to having pretty nails!
So I decided I fancied failsafe leopard print, but instead of neutraly colours, I added some colour to it, and it looks super cute!
The colours are Cyan Blue by Barry M and Silver Foil, also by Barry M.
Still haven't got round to getting dotting tools but I just used a bobby pin and it worked pretty much the same.
Need to do my right hand now and I can't be bothered. Knowing me I'll just forget to do it and wander about with one done hand. Oops.

Nail art with tape!
I've been seeing a few of these cool manis online but didn't think I could do it as I don't have special nail tape.
TURNS OUT, you don't need special nail tape, sellotape works fine, so I used just that.
It's a bit finicky because you have to cut the tape up and try and get them roughly the same width, and when the tape is that thin it gets stuck to stuff and you can't find it. And the worst thing was when the sellotape took off part of the silver base, so I had to use a blunt toothpick to fill it back in, so it looks a bit messy.
All in all though, I love it, looks so simple and pretty, I also decided to just put glitter on the ring finger to break it up a bit.
The colours I used were Barry M Nail Effects in Silver Foil, Barry M Indigo and for the sparkle it's OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle.
Also I don't know why the picture isn't upright the way I took it... weird.

Blue sparkle!
I love glittery nail polishes and I barely have any, so I got a pretty blue topshop one and couldn't wait to try it.
The glitter in this isn't just like the fine little flecks in my Barry M ones, there are slightly larger hexagons in there which are super sparkly when they catch the light.
I included a blurry photo too because I like how the light hits the glitter.
My base colour is the Barry M retro collection in blue, and the glitter is a Topshop nail polish by Louise Gray called Junkyard.
