5. Wearing and applying shatter nail varnish

I didn't really used to wear nail varnish as I grew up.  I had random colours I had bought at different points, but my mum didn't like me tarting myself up (especially as I always looked older for my age was I was younger).

A reasonably new craze in nail varnish has been shatter nail varnish polish.  You basically put on a base coat, then one or two layers of your favourite colour and then put a fourth layer of shatter proof varnish on top.  This final layer cracks as it sets, letting the other colour show underneath.

I wasn't expecting my trial to be successful when I originally tried it out for a hen-do, but I was presently surprised (should have known, Barry M make-up is pretty good).  It worked fast, efficiently and looked good.

Now I've done my nails again, this time in silver and black - I never knew I could be so trendy : )
