As a base, I used Sally Hansen - Red-io Active. Such a gorgeous polish, and I pull it out every year. This was limited edition, and I have only two polishes from this collection. This one and pink one. Have to admit, I love this red so much. It looks like it is glowing from within.
Image is on Uber Chic - Pretty in Plaid. For stamping, I used B. Loves Plates - B. a Black Hole.
I usually would add the matte top coat for this, but I really wanted to enjoy this manicure in all the glory. I did not want to dull this gorgeous red for anything. I ended up wearing it most of the week to work, and I even wore my matching buffalo plaid scrub top!
I also have regular top, dress, and scarf, decorative cushion and a blanket in the same pattern, just to make sure you understand how much I love it. My favorite coffee mug is in the same pattern, just like few festive serving bowls/platters...
This pattern is also utterly Canadian, that I am giving a homage to my adopted homeland. It also reminds me of warmth, so no wonder that I find it so comforting during the winter months.
Who knew that such a simple design can awoke so many feelings?!
I hope that you are warm and safe wherever you are. Now, I am going to mentally prepare myself for Monday...
Cheers!
