Essie Armed & Ready with stamping

Today I'd like to share an Essie polish - Armed & Ready. This is a gorgeous dark grey taupe with tons of gold micro shimmer. The formula was easy to apply and typical of Essie - dried nice and quickly.

I thought I'd break out of my comfort zone and try a stamp I hadn't used before. This is Konad plate S6. It was actually a bit of a challenge lining up the image so that it stamped centrally on my nail. A couple of images aren't quite right but I can live with it! Interestingly my right hand turned out slightly better but it's a challenge to photograph it so you're stuck with my left!

This shows two coats.

This is Armed & Ready on it's own. You can see the gorgeous shimmer in the bottle. Unfortunately it was quite late in the day so the colours are not the best - although still pretty accurate.
