Luminous Red

Hi! Sorry for the long delay again guys! I think I've resigned myself to the fact that this blog ain't gonna be a thing which happens all that often.. Work keeps getting in the way! But keep those eyes peeled because I will update whenever I get the chance.

Today I want to talk about the polish which I think nearly every polish addict in the UK has by now :P and that's the Nails Inc luminous red which was (not sure if it's still running) available in Boots free with Colgate Max White toothpaste. I'm a big fan of Nails Inc polishes, so naturally I got around the boyfriend's ban on nail-related purchases (boo!) by reminding him that we REALLY needed toothpaste :P
There were two shades on offer, a glossy red, and a metallic red. I opted for the plain glossy version as I already have a metallic red in my collection, but my straight red is very old and goopy... Replacement time! 

This is the polish on its own...

As you can see it's a lovely bright red with a nice shine on it. It was a little sheer though, this was 3 coats.

I then jazzed it up for a night out by adding some gold glitter.

Unfortunately I made a rookie mistake when doing this mani... I painted my nails, forgot to take photos, then got changed. Putting tights on smooshed all the glitter down from the tips, so the photo looks a bit crappy, sorry about that :( but rest assured it was gorgeous teamed with a simple black dress!

What's the best nail freebie you've ever found? I've had a couple of nice polishes from magazines, and I've got a shed load of micro-beads off the front of kids mags!

Until the next time, whenever that may be!
