MaxFactor Glossfinity Nail Polish- Midnight Bronze

You may not know me but I have an obsession with Rose Gold! This started at the beginning of the year when the Micheal Korrs watches started to pop up left right and centre. I love all things rose gold, especially jewellery. 

One thing I have been searching for since this obsession has started, is a Rose Gold nail polish. I've never seen one in the "drug-store" and any of the others that I've seen were ridiculously expensive.

It applies lovely and evenly, two coats  and it's opaque. It's not streaky like I've found some other metallic polishes to be, and lasts a good 4-5 days with a topcoat before the tips start to wear! 

I was wearing this with my dark green parka the other day and a maroon woolly scarf and I thought it went really well. So this colour is what I' m going to be wearing on my nails this autumn! :) 

I've never tried any of the MaxFactor Glossfinity nail polishes before but if the quality is as good as this one I may have to pick up a few more! 

Thankyou for reading,

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat



It's a fairly simple product. You apply it to freshly painted nails, and it speeds up the drying process. Whilst providing a protect shield against chipping it also adds an extra layer of gloss. 

When I am wearing this, I really have noticed a difference. My nail polish stays put a lot longer (2-3 days) and my manicures do look a lot more shiny, which I love. Although I can't say my nail polish dries a great deal quicker.


For £5.99 this little dude won't break the bank and if you were looking for a new top coat or a product to make you nails look that little bit better, I would happily recommend it. 

Not a very in depth review I know, bit let's face it, if you aren't wearing a topcoat and get frustrated when your nail polish chips on the day you've painted your nails, I would definitely invest in this.

Barry M Blueberry

Hello everyone!
 
So I'm sure you have all heard of the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Gel Effect by now. I fell in love with this colour when I saw this on my friends nails and the next day I went out and got it. I don't waste any time :P

 
The consistency of this polish is opaque and really thick. This is two coats of the colour Blueberry, you could probably get away with just one coat but I think two gives a glossy finish. You could add a top coat for extra shine.
 
 
 
If you are a bit impatient for your nails to dry, I wouldn't recommend this as i found it to take at least five minutes to dry properly, which for me, who usually buys the 'dries in 60 seconds' nail polishes, is a really long time.

Overall, I love the colour but I don't think I will buy this again or in different colours. As I like it but sadly I don't love it. Sorry Barry M, but this just didn't do it for me.
 
Available from Boots and Superdrug now at £3.99.
