Swatch: Barry M - Liqucorice Confetti

Another Barry M Confetti polish, this is a bar glitter in a clear base which makes it a great topper. The bar glitter in this particular Confetti is black and white, I wasn't too sure which colour to pair this with but having used Barry M - Passion Fruit I think it works brilliantly.

The polish went on really well, the bar glitters spreading over the nail without the need for any fancy application techniques. Photo above shows just one coat of the Confetti polish. You can feel this on the nail once it is dried, but a layer of a topcoat and that is easily solved. You could build this up to get a full coverage if you wanted to do so.

Time Era Challenge: 1980's

Finally on to a decade I was alive in! 1980's, lots of fluorescent colours. music tapes, Pacman and the evil rubix cube.

I'm struggling to get the Cheeky Stamping plates to stamp without smudging. Also I seem to have made the rubix cube more complicated than it should have been.

This is the forth month of a nail challenge which I am participating in, basically you are set three colours and you select three polishes to represent each. Four days, four different manicures using said polishes. Want to join in, then click here. I ended up doing this for the third challenge:

I also used W7 Black and Stamping Plate BM05

These are the three polishes which are to be used for these challenges. Do expect to see three more for this month. ELF's Purple Dream, Color Club's Poptastic and Essie's Snap Happy.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Ice Cream

After seeing One Nail to Rule Them All doing a feature called 'Then and Now' I thought I would have a look back at some of the so called nail art I did when I first began. Back in the summer of 2010 I did some mint choc chip ice cream nails, and so this was the perfect design for me to try and recreate.

Then - 2010

Now

I wish I'd have chosen a different coloured background because it sort of melts in with the ice cream. Also I  think I made the waffle cone much more complicated than it really needed to be. 

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 13

 This stamping plate is from the first Bundle Monster set, it is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is exceptionally handy, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms. 

As you can see all of the images stamped really well and are easy to use. I quite like the ladybird, spiderweb and spider. If you were wanting to see some other designs I have used this plate in then feel free to click here.
