Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Purple, Pink and Red #2

This is what I ended up doing this for the second challenge, a red and pink gradient with stripes of purple sponged over the top.

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.

Swatch: Barry M - Marshmallow Confetti

I recently won a Barry M Competition and received a couple of polishes from the Summer 2013 range, this means I can share some swatches of them with you.

The first one is Marshmallow, a Confetti Effect. This is a bar glitter polish in a clear base which makes it a topper polish. The bar glitter is all light pink which is slightly pearlescent. I found that the glitter bars went very easily on to the nails, no need for dabbing or any other fancy technique. The finish is slightly bumpy, which you expect from a glitter but this is easily remedied with a topcoat.

One coat over Barry M's Berry Ice Cream

I think this looks nice over a complimentary colour such as the Berry Ice Cream, however I think it would look equally as stunning over a black as the colour of the bar glitter would pop. You could build this up to get a full coverage if you wanted to do so.
