China Glaze Infra Red and stamping fail!

Hello, hello! This post is being brought to you by me who is existing in struggletown. Seriously just putting one foot in front of the other for the next couple of days as I have a weeks worth of annual leave in 2 days (18 hours..but who's counting??). I am tired. I was tired in March actually..but this was the first week of leave I could get. I am tired of work suffocating me and my creativity by the no nail polish policy and the enforcement of that. I really just don't look forward to going to work. I'm depressed by the fact I have to work a 10 hour day and then come home an am too tired to play with my polish only to have to take it off before work the next day. IT SUUUUUUCKS. There are some good things coming up...a friends wedding *squee* and dinner at a fancy restaurant with friends, the dentist (okay, not that fun) and some more holiday planning for the Grand American trip in September! I'll hold on to the positive things to get me through :)

Today I have for you China Glaze Infra Red from the Hologlam collection! I adore this polish! It's so vampy hot whilst being holo awesome. I tried to use it as a base for my ANM floral nails last week but that turned out to be mani fail as I'll show you laters.

Hot pink holo effect in this light.

 Full sun brings out the hot pink shimmer! It's hard to believe it's the same polish.

And now for the mani fail..

This is Infra Red stamped with Astro Hot. It's okay, but not awesome.

So anyways. I loved Infra Red, it was mostly red with the hot pink holo in it and was awesome to look at in the sunlight :) Application was great and only needed 2 coats and the holo wasn't dulled with the Seche Vite top coat. I'll work on some more upbeat posts..especially when I have free reign to wear awesome polish with out getting told off! :)
