Lac Attack Hogwarts Review

Here is another swatch from the incredible Lac Attack’s ‘Magical Musings’ collection. All of these polishes are so beautiful and this one is no exception.

It’s a clear base with an absolute butt load of multi-coloured, multi-sized glitter. This only needed two coats for this level of coverage and it didn’t need any glitter placement which is rare. I love how the glitter looks in the above picture, layered glitter is so satisfying for me, I don’t know why!

I think this may have replaced OPI’s ‘Rainbow Connection’ as my go-to glitterbomb. BIG claim!

This collection is sadly no longer available *sob* – it sold out in 20 minutes on launch night! But you can find the full Lac Attack range on Harlow&Co HERE.

If you want to see the other polishes I picked up from this collection, have a nosey here: The Horcrux Of It, Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, and Dementor’s Kiss.

Barry M Textured Effects Station Road

This is just such an unusual polish and it’s not just the finish which – as you can see from the images – is a grainy, matte texture. But this has a glitter to it that catches the sun which really adds something to it.

These textured finish nails had such a mixed reaction on Twitter and Instagram – they might not be your kind of thing but they are certainly eye-catching!

If you’re like me and love the textured finish look, you can buy Barry M Textured Effects Station Road HERE. You can also see my review of one of the other polishes from this collection HERE – I can’t decide which one I like more!

Barry M Textured Effects Kingsland Road

Textured nails are huge at the moment and you can always rely on Barry M to bring out an affordable, high quality version of the top trends.

This is no exception. Barry M has released matte finish polishes with a grainy finish. It looks so unique and feels oddly nice – I couldn’t stop touching it when I had it on. It is less rough than it looks and doesn’t catch on things like I thought it would.

The polishes in this range all have names of places in London where Barry himself used to hang out. This one is called Kingsland Road which was the road I lived on when I first moved to London – I knew I had to get it from the moment I saw it.

As a huge fan of the textured nail trend, I have to say bravo, Barry M!

You can find my review of another of the Barry M Textured Effects polishes HERE.

MUA Furry Nail Art With Flocking Powder

I have wanted to try these new flocking powders ever since I saw them and I wasn’t disappointed. I know it won’t be to everyone’s taste but I love it!

The polish is one of the new ones from my holiday haul – Kinetics ‘Violet Up’ (KP197). This is a bright fuchsia jelly-like polish, and the photos show three coats with Seche Vite.

To apply the fluff, you tip some into the lid of the pot, dip the wet nail into the fluff and carefully pat down. Et voila! Fluffy fun nails!

I don’t think MUA make this flocking powder anymore but you can get a similar product HERE.
