China Glaze Brownstone is a BEAUTIFUL fall color. It's a brownish burgundy cream that went on like BUTTA'. Like butta I tell you! This is two coats. Application on this seemed a little runny... I guess not necessarily the formula, but the brush picked up a LOT of polish every time. I had to remove almost all of it or it got really goopy and flooded my cuticles. Is there a more graceful way to phrase that? Do you guys know what I'm trying to say? Please say yes...
Then I stamped over it with a gold Sally Hansen pen and plate BM201.
I still have problems with stamping every now and then. My right thumb is the HARDEST fingernail for me to stamp on. Just look at this:
Hahahah. FAIL!!
That's all I have for you guys today. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
"No mama, I didn't do nuffin!"
love this color, I may need a backup- so silky smooth to apply too! (And I haven't even tried stamping- I am a klutz...)
ReplyDeleteI love the name, let alone the colour!
ReplyDeleteYes! I can't get this phrase out of my head from the first moment I saw this CG polish! Every time I see it - I can hear Axl Rose singing in my head! Thanks for sharing :>
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour, and great colour choice for stamping. I just bought some bundle monster plates and I have found that a lot of the 'full nail' plates seem to be designed for 4 year old size nails. haha.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Mr Brownstone. My oldest daughter is in a band and she does a KILLER cover of that song.
This color is so pretty. Plus your cat is just to cute.
ReplyDeleteUm yeah-thats GnR and I want to marry Axel! He's so cute!! I love this color!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great color and with the stamping it is amazing!
ReplyDelete@Pam: Are they the old BM ones or the new ones? The older ones are definitely tiny, but they made the new ones a bit bigger so they're a little easier to use.
ReplyDeleteI sure do love a good brown & this one looks like melted Hershey's bars - which are my favorite kind :) And I hate when I mess up on the stamping - especially on the thumb!
ReplyDeleteit looks amazing with the stamping! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Brownstone! The only brown I've ever had and actually liked :)
ReplyDeleteLove it with the stamp! And hi kitty <3.
ReplyDeleteI tend to have some issues stamping on the thumb too. This is yet another fabulous manicure you've created!
ReplyDeleteLove this colour. I have it too and yet to try it. Your stamping looks great! The image looks really nice over the polish. I also struggle with my right thumb. I do and try and make sure my plate is really clean before stamping this hand and change the angle so that I'm putting my thumb onto the stamper and not the other way around. Does that make any sense whatsoever??! lol
ReplyDeleteLove this polish! So perfect for the Fall! I have trouble stamping my thumbs too!
ReplyDeleteI recently swatched this color but never thought about applying the gold on top. It really makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I LOVE this. I think I need to nab a couple more polishes from this collection, sight unseen, because I can't seem to get over to Sally's to see if I *need* some of the cremes. This is a perfect shade for me, I'm glad you swatched it.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, that song will be stuck in my head all night! haha.
I love the stamping with this, too, by the way!
aww now this song is stuck in my head...
ReplyDeleteNice shade of brown! and I love what you with the stamping. :)
Beautiful colour and stamping!
ReplyDeleteOh your kitty is so cute!!
