China Glaze - Sugar Plums

Today I'm going to show off China Glaze - Sugar Plums. It's from this year's Holiday collection called Tis' The Season To Be Naughty And Nice. When I first saw other swatches of it, I wasn't sure if I would like it or not.

I applied it and it looked great, but once it was fully dried it got really bumpy and the base color lost its shimmer. With two coats of top coat it did look much better. The base color is a burgundy shimmer. This polish also has bits of holographic glitter that really sparkles in the light.

I only bought four other colors from this collection. I wanted to get Frosty but when I ordered from TransDesign they only had it in a gift set. I'm hoping that Sally's will have some of these on clearance when I visit my family in January. Did you purchase any colors from this collection? Or did you pass on it?

Old Timers

These are two old nail polishes I have collected in the past few years. The first is from Boots which I bought from Target in the summer of 2008. On the bottle it says Stay Perfect and the color is Temptress. It's a very dark cherry red; it reminds me of Door County Cherries.

Then to spice it up a bit for the next day I added a coat of CND Copper Shimmer. It adds a really nice copper/gold shimmer to the shade and I really like it.


The last picture I have is of a fairly old Maybelline Express Finish in Matte Stone. I just bought it at the Dollar Store. The color was nice and I like the matte finish but it was terribly streaky and would never be worth more than the $1.05 I payed for it.
