Happy Monday everyone! Hope you have all had a good weekend. We had a nice and relaxing one (it's been really cold and wet here - Winter is definitely just around the corner). Today I have something a little different for you. I was scrolling through Instagram a little while back when I saw some really cute glitter mixes from Charlie's Nail Art Supplies. I had originally planned on just grabbing a couple but then I couldn't decide which ones to get so I grabbed them all. You can't have too much glitter can you? I don't think so.

There are a total of twelve glitter dot mixes available and each sort comes in a tiny zip lock bag with a pink card/brand logo attached. To be honest I was quite surprised that these were in zip lock backs. I was honestly expecting them just to be in clear bags held together by a staple. I think using the glitters in the zip lock bags could be a little tricky so I have moved all of mine into little containers with screw top lids (just cheap ones from eBay). There is a great amount of glitters in each of the bags. You will definitely get a lot of manis from these.
Before jumping into the manis that I have done, let's take a look at the mixes that are available. I did take these pictures while they were still in the zip lock bags, so I do apologize for the glare etc on some of these pictures.
1. Barbie is a mixture of hot pink, black and white matte dots in various sizes.
2. Hot Chocolate is a mix of metallic purple, iridescent blue and mocha bronze dots in various sizes.
3. Allsorts is a mix neon pinks, yellow, purple, black and iridescent dots in various sizes and finishes.
4. Blueberry is a mix of iridescent blue, matte purple and black glitters in various sizes.
5. Girls World is a mix of metallic and iridescent pink and purple dots in various sizes.
6. Amber is a mix of burnt orange, matte white and black dots in various sizes.
7. Monochrome is a mix of black and white matte dots in various sizes.
8. Bubblegum is a mix of iridescent and metallic pink, purple and lilac dot in various sizes.
9. Witches Potion is a mix of matte purple, green and black dots in various sizes. This one will be perfect for Halloween.
10. Sweetie Pie is a mix of matte pink, purple and black dots in various sizes.
11. Carnival is a mix of iridescent and metallic yellow, pink and blue dots.
12. Marigold is a mix of matte white, gold and yellow dots in various sizes.
I have done 2 different types of manis using some of the mixes.
For the first mani I did a full mani of glitter placement using Allsorts. I am a big fan of the mix of colours in this one. For my base I used Color Club French Tips.
For this next mani I was just going for something a little more simple - an accent nail with a simple black glitter dot on the other nails. Polish used is Essie's Blue-La-La.
I really like the mix of a lot of these glitters. There are some great colour combinations. I am impressed with the amount of glitter you get in each bag (I believe there is about 2g) and that they come in a zip lock bag which is great of easy storage and it creates less mess in transit. Bubblegum and Girl's World are very similar so you probably don't need both.
