Swatch: Barry M - Bubblegum Confetti

These are two colours I certainly wouldn't usually put together, but I think it looks very appropriate for summer. I actually won both of these polishes in a recent Barry M competition. So Bubblegum is a Confetti polish, which basically is a bar glitter. In this one the pieces of glitter are light blue and white in a clear base.

I found with this Confetti topper I had to dab to get a good even coverage. The photo above is two coats of the polish and it was slightly uneven but a topcoat did sort that out. I paired it with Barry M - Mango Gelly. You could build this up to get a full coverage if you wanted to do so.

Time Period Challenge: 1950's

I originally was going to just leave this as a monochrome half moon, however I thought it was nice with some rhinestones. If you want to see my original creation then you can do so here.

W7 - Black
Barry M - Matt White

Stamping Plate: QA52

This stamping plate is pretty much Psy of Gangnam Style and Korean pop sensation. I thought it made for a comical bit of stamping personally.

Base Polish: Barry M - Matt White

Glitter Polish: Kleancolor - Kiss Goodnight 171

Stamping Polish: W7 - Black

Stamping Plate: QA52 and Cheeky 031

The stamping plate itself came with a protective peel off sticker on both sides of the plate.

 

The images stamped relatively well, and even on the deeper images you don't need to use any difficult techniques. As you can see below the images stamped well, the only concern I have is with the whole body Psy, and Psy with arms crossed his face seems to look odd.

Nails: Textured Stamping

I've seen stamping on textured polishes everywhere and I was skeptical. Was it was as easy as stamping on non-textured polishes? Quick answer; yes! Bit of the stamped image stuck up but that was easily remedied with a dabbing with a finger.

What I would say is make sure the stamping polish will show up over the base, I did try with a blue metallic but it didn't work because it would need a topcoat to make it pop but when stamping like this you don't use a topcoat.
