Fabulous Nails #28

I must confess that today's Fabulous Nails is quite festive (and I'm aware it's not Christmas!) but I love greens, reds and metallics throughout the winter so I don't really restrict festive nails to December anymore!

I used my Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine polish in Watermelon (2 coats - this is thick stuff!) as a base and my fabulous Revlon Gold Sequins that I got free in December when I bought my Mum 3 Revlon polishes (3 for the price of 2).

This is actually my first Revlon polish - when I used to work at Boots I lusted after them but every time I ended up buying a Barry M dupe instead as they're half the price. This is also the first Gelly Barry M I've tried and I really liked it - it goes on really opaque and thick. A word of caution though, the entire end of one of my nails chipped off (the polish not the nail itself) after a day, which I think is because of the thick consistency of the polish.

What do you think? Have you tried the Gelly Barry M polishes yet?

Fabulous Nails #25 - potential OPI dupe for £2.50?

I realised I haven't done a Fabulous Nails post for a good few weeks, so here's one about a MUA polish - as MUA currently have 50% off and free international delivery online using code MUA50.

I picked up a few MUA nail polishes in my giant haul (that was ages ago now but it's taken me a while to get around to reviewing everything). Today's Fabulous Nails is about the mystical shade Seahorse.

I picked this polish as I think its unlike any of my other metallic shades - the one it's most similar to is OPI Warm and Fozzie but that's a warmer bronze tone whereas this MUA polish is a brassier gold tone.

This is OPI Warm and Fozzie:

I found this MUA polish really easy to wear and it would be a great simple party nail. It lasted quite a good few days without chipping, although it did take 3 coats to get this opacity. Retailing at only £2.50 I would definitely recommend picking up this unique shade to add to your metallic polish selection! Click!
