Short & Sassy!

This is the lovely Short & Sassy from China Glaze. It's a very pretty, regal, shimmery, burgundy red. This formula applies easily and is opaque in two coats. Unfortunately I was a bit heavy handed and applied some of it too thickly and generated some tiny bubbles, but a generous coat of Essie Good to Go took care of this problem.

I did double stamp all of my nails with this image (except my pinkie finger) as the image is very small. Wouldn't it be great if BM were to duplicate these plates but in the same size as Konad plates?

Gussied Up Green

I couldn't resist creating another manicure with this gorgeous green from China Glaze - inspired by my new quilt (below) - and really wanted to give China Glaze's Passion a trial for stamping. It's been a frustrating exercise trying to track down their famous 2030 and Passion is the only metallic gold I can buy here. I'm quite happy with it - of course having not had the chance to put 2030 to the test - it's a pretty one sided comparison!
