H & M ~ Cherry

Hi again girls. :)

I am still in stamping mood. I am so fascinated by this technique, because it's so easy to apply that little "extra" that lifts a nail polish up to a higher level. 

This time I applied a cheap nail polish from H&M, namely "Cherry". It's a deep, dark red creme, and to me it's a true winter polish. The colour is so good with my skin tone. I'm naturally pale, and dusty, golden tones are just not my colours, however pretty they may be on others.

I applied the polish, and I must admit I was surprised over how pretty it is, and how easy it was to apply. It's a relatively thick polish, and had I been more precise in applying it, I could have been able to go with one coat only. I applied two, and was very happy with it.

The durability isn't the best - I had my first chip the day after applying, which is a pain. But I look at it from the bright side: It allows me to try some other stamping designs sooner. :)

Anyway - moving right on to the stamping part. 

I chose a design with four little stars from Konad's M3 plate. I am still trying to learn how to place the designs in the same spot on each nail, but until I'm good at that, I allow uneven-ness on my nails. :D

I really like this design! It's simple and cute.

I need a piece of advice though: How do you avoid that the designs streak when you apply the top coat? I waited for a long time before applying the top coat, and the brush still pulled on the design. :/
