Barry M Guava with Barielle Starchild glitter tips

Barry M Guava is another polish from their Gelly collection.  I love these polishes - they are so glossy and high-shine, apply beautifully and have the most vibrant colours.  Guava is a gorgeous deep turquoise / aqua shade - another tricky one to capture, but I think it leans a little more green in real life.

I picked up a set of Barielle glitters from TK Maxx the other day (five for £8 - bargainous!) and used Starchild to daub on simple glitter tips over Guava.  Starchild is a clear base with a mixture of hexagonal holo glitters and a finer holo glitter.  It looks a little similar at first glance to my OPI Servin' Up Sparkle, but I haven't done a direct comparison, nor have I looked closely at SUS for quite a while.  Anything holo is always good though, and Starchild is gorgeous.

Base coat OPI Nail Envy, 2 coats Guava, top coat Seche Vite.
