All that glitters...

Mavala (213) Pure Diamond, or Pure joy in my eyes!

Let's start by saying this, I ADORE glitter varnishes with a passion, there's only one thing I love more and that a good duo-chrome.

This is such a beautiful varnish, what could be better than microfine pieces of rainbow glitter? Nothing I tell you. So far I've gone through four bottles of this stuff "glamming" up those drab varnishes I thought were a good idea and it's never failed to impress. As sad as it sounds I have lost hours staring at my nails once they have been painted with this because it's just so hypnotizing.

The consistency of the varnish is perhaps a little thick and once painted on it can make your nails feel a little rough, nothing a good top coat cannot smooth out mind you! I've found this varnish to be both hard-wearing and beautiful. I have but two issues with this varnish, for one it is impossible to find around where I live! It's most upsetting but the closest place that sells it is a good drive away. That is of course minor, the real issue is the cost. I paid £4 for a tiny 5ml bottle, it just does not go far enough especially as it's hard to use it sparingly once you've seen how gorgeous it looks!

This is my favourite combination for this varnish, a simple silver base with pure diamond on top, it doesn't really need the silver underneath but it means you can use less varnish so it lasts longer. x)

Sadly, I'm on my last bottle that I received as a Christmas present, I'm hoping to either find a decent substitute or some more in my local shop some time soon, if all else fails, to the internet!
