Hits Phenomena - Afterglow

Bonjour! Hope everyone has had a good start to their week. This morning I was very excited to receive the new Bundle Monster plates which I bought using my Amazon vouchers. Apart from the two plates I have from Born Pretty I don't have any other plates and looking at some of the images I'm overwhelmed at how intricate they are! I cannot wait to try them out but I must warn you I still suck at stamping so it might be a while before you see any manis! Have any of you guys bought the new plates?

Getting back to the polish, Afterglow is a lot more subtle than the other 3 polishes in the Phenomena collection. Shifting from purple/navy to pink to orange the multichrome effect of the glitter it less obvious but that may be because the colours are quite dark and I have put it on a black base. And because of this it was the hardest polish to photograph! One swipe of this is enough to give good coverage but for the photographs I used two plus a coat of Seche Vite. Enjoy!

Afterglow and the rest of the Phenomena polishes are available to buy online from Llarowe.
Just Borealis to come so stay tuned!!

New Barry M Silver Multi Glitter Swatch

Recently Barry M seem to be releasing polishes at a rate of knots. Last week they released 4 new glitter polishes and a few weeks before that they released the Chameleon polishes plus other shades. I'm not complaining but I'm hoping they don't release any next month as I'm imposing another no-buy.

Today I want to show you one of the new glitters which reminds me of the discontinued Silver Cascade. May be this is the replacement?

Anyway here is Silver Multi Glitter.

3 coats and a coat of Seche Vite.

Like the name suggests this is a silver glitter polish at heart but there is a mix of other colours thrown in. The glitter is extremely fine and in real life it's actually quite difficult to see all the colours which you see in the photo above but the colours are there. There is an advantage with fine glitter and that is you get a smoother finish but I would still recommend a top coat just to bring out the sparkle. I required three coats for complete coverage despite being quite densely packed and I would recommend allowing each layer to dry to avoid dragging and an uneven finish. Still I love it.

Have you tried any of the new glitter? What do you think of them?
