Untried Polish Challenge - Day 5 - Warm Catherine Arley 800

Hey everyone! Today's challenge asks for a "warm" manicure. I went with a manicure that was warm in terms of color. It's a red and pink pattern that kind of reminds me of one of those touristy Hawaiian shirts.
This is two coats of Catherine Arley 800, a bright red holographic. The holo in this is very faint, so I doubt you can see it. The formula on this one was perfect! Thus far I am extremely impressed with Catherine Arley polishes, especially considering how inexpensive they are! To dress this manicure up a bit, I used one of my untried stamping polishes and the PUEEN15 plate to add flowers. The stamping polish is Konad Special Polish in Pink,

    2. I have the newest GALS plates and I already had some that I got for Christmas from salon express. Lately I've been really into stamping.

    3. Me too! I feel like it's a crutch sometimes but it's so much prettier than anything I could ever freehand.

      I love it for 'work nails' because you can still have a fun pattern, but it keeps me from being too loud with beads and jewels hanging off :p For sure it's better than what I could do. I find it's great for small detail, sometimes I like to use a small stamp and freehand over it with a small brush to add bigger details, which is also fun.

    5. I think I need to try that! I've only really gone over parts of a stamp that didn't transfer well with a small brush and some polish, but adding bigger details might be fun. Thanks for the idea!
