Imagination In Colour UK Nail Polish Blog
Yesterday I showed you the pretty Marshmallow Confetti Nail Effects from Barry M’s Summer releases, and today I have for you ‘Liquorice’ (my personal favourite so far…!). There are 5 new Confetti Nail Effects being released in total: Marshmallow, Liquorice, Dolly Mixture, Bubblegum and Sour Apple. Is anyone else loving the cute sweetie names? š Perhaps they should have been called ‘Confectionary Nail Effects’ ;).
As I mentioned yesterday, these are essentially the same as Nails Inc Feathers, but in different colours and WAY more affordable at Ā£3.99 each. They will be releasedĀ instore onĀ June 5th inĀ Superdrug,Ā andĀ June 12th inĀ Boots.

Liquorice Confetti is a mixture of black and white bar glitter suspended in a clear base. It’s like the bar glitter counterpart to L’Oreal Confetti. I definitely prefer it as a topcoat as opposed to layering it up over the bare nail, and I also definitely prefer one coat over a base colour as opposed to two coats over a base colour (2 coats begins to look a little furry!). I do really love this though, especially over the colours I showed above.
Application:
Liquorice Confetti applied evenly, which surprised me as I thought the glitter would drag. It’s quite easy to get an even amount of glitter all over the nail. It dries pretty quickly too. The finish is neither glossy nor matte; if you want a glossy look I’d use a topcoat. It does dry flat but ever so slightly bumpy to the touch so again, if you want a smooth finish use a topcoat. My only qualm is with the glitter sticking out at the ends of my nails but that’s easily fixed with some small nail scissors or a gentle filing.
Overall I’m really pleased with this polish, I didn’t think I could ever really enjoy this type of look but I actually genuinely like it and am looking forward to trying more colour combinations!
I still love the packaging, the lids look so cute and pretty, I would love these as the standard Barry M caps!
Barry M Confetti Effects will be sold at Ā£3.99 each which I think is more than reasonable – a cheap way to try out a new nail trend without breaking the bank! (Cough Nails Inc…)
What do you think of Liquorice? What colour combinations would you be most excited to try?!Ā 
Ā Remember these are not out tilĀ June 5th inĀ Superdrug,Ā andĀ June 12th inĀ Boots, so keep them on your wishlist!
