NOTD: There's a Blackout in the Gold Mine

I pained my nails in this combo yesterday and I am luuurving it! 

I used Maybellines Colour Show in Blackout and Barry M's Gold Mine as the accent. I have to say, I am VERY impressed with the Maybelline one - I've never tried the Colour Show polishes before and seeing as they were only £2.99 I figured I'd pick a couple up the other day (Maybelline is 3 for 2 at the moment after all), but I wasn't expecting all that from them. I'm sure this is partly because of the colour, but my nails were opaque with JUST ONE COAT. Crazy! They went on insanely smoothly with no patchy bits or major painting faux pas on my part (I suck at not getting it on my skin most of the time). Ahh I just can't say enough good things. I think I'll do a full review on them as soon as I've tried the others. But let me say this - they cost the same as Barry M but my god, so far they're better.

But I can't skimp out on the little Barry M finger nails! I picked this polish up the other day too so it's the first I've tried it, but I love how much glitter came out with just one coat as well! (It is on top of one coat of the Blackout, I haven't tried it on it's own yet to see how well the black in it holds up by itself).

That's all for now, have a lovely Bank Hoiday!
