I never get the chance to paint my nails, as I work with animals, but since it's christmas and I have a couple of weeks off I decided to go for it and be all festive!

I picked up these two nail varnishes from B&M (if you haven't heard of it its basically like a pound shop, everythings really cheap). They were £1.79 each which I think is very good for nail varnishes as usually you can end up spending around £5 per bottle! I've used W7 products before and have found they are actually pretty good; I think I've used a liquid eyeliner by them and and was quite impressed.

So, I used the white as a base and put the glitter on top...kind of snowy and sparkly. The white varnish needed 2 coats to get a good even coverage, but it dried within a minute so it was fairly easy and quick to do. I was really impressed with the glitter; I usually find with glitter nail varnishes you have to put about 5 layers on to get a good amount of glitter, but this only took one coat and the particles looked really good. Its easily removable aswell, (unlike other glitter varnishes!)
I'm not sure that I'll use the white very often, as it reminds me of when people used to pait their nails with tipex at school, but the glitter is great value and will look good over any colour, I'm going to try it with a dark colour next I think!

Does anyone else have special christmas nails?
