Best red glittery nail varnish?

Morning!

I’m a bit of a S&B novice - don’t wear make up often or really do much with my hair - but one thing I do like is to have a glittery red set of toenails for Christmas. I usually go and have them done at a salon for the festive period, but that’s out this year even if things do open back up in time. So I’m looking for recommendations of a really pretty red glitter that isn’t too expensive as it won’t be used often!

I don’t have a UV nail set up - all the glitters I’ve seen on Amazon seem to be that type - but would also appreciate base/top coat recommendations that might make it last a little longer as I’m notoriously rough on my pedicures!

TIA!

Try Primark, Superdrug, Savers, Boots etc
Either get a glitter nail varnish or a glitter top coat. It's a git to remove glitter nail varnish so presumably it is quite hard wearing.

China Glaze ruby pumps

Ooo, thanks. I don’t suppose you have a great recommendation for such a top coat? I think I last bought cosmetics in about 1872...

Try the pound shops.
I have some clear glitter nail varnish and I'm sure that's where I got it.
As I said, it's a git to remove.

I was going to suggest Ruby Pumps as well, it's beautiful.

China glaze fairy dust is a good glitter topper. Don't forget to use a normal top coat on top of that , glitter toppers dry all bumpy.

Ooo, thanks! Amazon to the rescue! China Glaze red, glitter and base/top coat are on their way! Thanks all!
