A England Tristam with Cheeky stamping

Today's polish is from the gorgeous A England Mythicals collection and is the beautiful Tristam. This reminds me of dark navy denim and has a scattered holographic effect. Unfortunately the sun would not cooperate to show how lovely it looks outside. Nevertheless it's still a gorgeous colour and the application is a dream. This is almost a one coater but I applied two for evenness.

I recently purchased the Cheeky stamping plates and this is CH7 - so nice to have such a variety of plates to select from!

Base colour: A England Tristam

Nail plate: CH7
Stamp colour: China Glaze SciFi
Topped with Essie Good to Go

Flair with Sci-Fi

Did you ever have one of those manis where everything went pear shaped? lol Well this is one! I got a bargain haul of Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine Polishes and Flair is simply gorgeous, but it takes a LONG time to dry. I love this colour and liked my manicure a lot more before I stamped it.

I really struggled with this plate too and found that for the first time ever I got a better image by not cleaning the plate between stamping . . . interesting.

Then to literally top it off I tried out my brand new Essie Good to Go (bought off Ebay and long anticipated since I can't buy it off the shelf here in NZ) and it smeared the daylights out of my stamping. Argh!

Oh well the upside is that I'll soon be removing this mani and trying out one of the other colours I got.

Base colour: Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine: Flair
