Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Purple, Pink and Red #4

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. I did this for the last challenge:

Stamping Plates: Bundle Monster 224 and 301

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 DreamColor Club's Poptastic and Essie's Snap Happy.

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.
