CG Don't Make Me Wine stamped with BM318

I'm not sure where I found this little stunner - it just happened to appear one day. This is a gorgeous vibrant fuschia colour from China Glaze with a cool name - Don't Make Me Wine

This shows two coats.

A England Briarwood

Oh my - this is simply gorgeous! This is from the Burne-Jones Dream collection and A England describes it as burgundy base colour, filled with ultra-fine prismatic particles that reflect every facet of light. It's the perfect autumn/fall colour and I can't stop looking at it. 

The formula is opaque in one coat but my swatches show two. It is effortless to apply and dries quickly and is very holographic!

CG Short & Sassy with BM 314 stamping

CG Short & Sassy is one of my all time favourite polishes. It's a classical elegant burgundy and I wanted to embellish it but not detract from it's gorgeous deep colour. I randomly stamped images from the BM314 plate in various positions.

OPI I Brake for Manicures with stamping

Today's manicure is one from my haul post and it's OPI's I Brake for Manicures. This has a really nice formula, easy to use and I'm always reminded how much I enjoy using the brushes from OPI. They make for quick - simple application. I Brake for Manicures is a dark purple based taupe and it is opaque in two coats.

Essie Masquerade Belle

The weather is cooling off here and time to bring out some warm autumn colours. This is Essie Masquerade Belle which is a rich brown burgundy. My hubby even thought this was a nice colour lol Masquerade Belle applied beautifully although this shows three coats just because I have issues with it looking lighter around the cuticles. I completely flooded one cuticle and removed it straight away but from that I can tell this is going to stain like mad when I remove it. Fortunately my trusty OPI Expert Touch remover has just arrived in the post - yippee!

I didn't get a chance to stamp it but some gold stamping would have looked nice I reckon . . .

Another Nina Ricci polish with Konad stamping

I recently recieved in the mail another boxed set of 5 Nina Ricci mini polishes. I had no idea these are considered 'high end' polishes until I saw that my little bargain for $15.00 actually had a RRP of $131.00! - for 5 mini polishes. Check out some of the other lovely colours here. Despite that, I can't recall seeing any other reviews of swatches of them on other blogs. Has anyone seen/used them??

Anyway, I'll keep on counting myself lucky to have scored a great bargain. This is Nina Ricci #18. The polishes don't have names, just a tiny number printed on the base of the bottle.

This formula is effortlessly easy to apply and opaque in two coats. I would describe it as brown based burgundy with loads of gold shimmer.

Onto the pictures . . .

China Glaze Foxy with stamping

Todays polish is China Glaze Foxy. Foxy is from the Vintage Vixen collection and is a lovely deep russet brown with hints of gold shimmer and burgundy undertones. Foxy applies beautifully although I've decided that I've really developed a preference for OPI's larger brushes. However, that certainly doesn't detract from this formula which goes on beautifully and dries pretty quickly. This is 2 coats and I've very happy with the application.

I’m Suzi and I’m a Chocoholic

I’m Suzi and I’m a Chocoholic is a rich brown red creme polish, although it took 3 coats for it to be opaque. Dried quickly with a lovely shine.
