CHROME TOPPED CHERRY TOPPING

For my last "masterpiece" (hehehe) I did a konad-icure. I saved this for last, because I knew that is what I wanted to wear all day today. For the base coat I used Misa - Cherry Topping. Misa, yet another color of yours that I love. This is what I believe is called a "jelly" polish. Such a gorgeous color, and cherry topping is a great name for this. I decided to use for my konad paint, my new Sally Hansen Chrome polish in Black Pearl Chrome. BPC worked great as a konad color. It really looks like liquid silver on my nails. I did have a little bit of harder time getting this centered on my nail, because BPC seemed to dry a little quicker than the konad black paint that I have used previously. Again though, unless you are just really studying my nails, it isn't that noticeable. Once again, I forgot to see what plate I used to create the konad, I will try really hard in the future to make a mental note to remember!




These first pictures were taken last night, right after painting and konading:





(USELESS FACT OF THE DAY: That Christmas tree design in the background was my jammy pants! lol)














And just like cherry topping on top of my bowl of ice cream - this didn't last long!! Cherry Topping has no staying power. These last three shots, I just went outside and snapped 'em before making this post. So this polish only lasted from about 10:30 last night until 1:30 today when I took these pics. Look at all that tip wear. And if you couldn't tell by the amount of posts I have done today, it's not like I have been busily typing here at work. Not to mention that I had two coats of Poshe on these too.

****UPDATE - WIXBETTY, one of my great readers brought it to my attention that this "tip wear" might be shrinkage from my topcoat and not tip wear at all! I painted these right before bed last night, and didn't really pay much mind until I went to take my outside shots today. I think she could be right! Thanks for the information Wixbetty :)
