Weird Wednesday ~ Orange Holos

Hello Dahlings!

This week

YES, 2 weeks in a row!

I have a group of 5 orange linear holos from

Carpe Noctem Cosmetics to compare for you!

 Nope, not a dupe in the bunch!

Each polish has its own unique characteristics

that set it apart from its sisters.

Thumb ~ Keep That Fire Burning 

This creamy bright orange is packed with multi shifting metallic flakies.

It's from the M For Home collection.

Index ~ Foliage In Flames 

Looking for a warm pumpkiny orange with gold metallic flakies?

This is your polish!

One of 2 yummy oranges from the I Come From The Forest Collection.

Middle ~ Canyon Copper 

This one looks orange in some lights,

but has a definite copper metallic shift with slight pink undertones. 

This is the other must have orange from

the I Come From The Forest Collection.

Ring ~ Gorgeous Gourd Holo

This is a holo'd up re-release from Emily's 1st CNC collection.

A lush dark copper orange sure to warm your cockles.

Pinky ~ Literary Lady.

Why did I include a pink in this comparison?

This is why...

Literary Lady is an old rose to copper shifting polish

of beauty & sophistication.

Not all of these gorgeous oranges are currently available,

but if you have either of the ones not currently for sale

& wondered if getting the others would be adding dupes to your stash,

I can confidently say NOPE, no dupes here!

Each of these polishes stands in its own spotlight

& I can't pick a fav cuz they're all MOST EXCELLENT!

 The line up ~ Joss White, CNC Literary Lady, Gorgeous Gourd Holo,

Canyon Copper, Foliage In Flames & Keep That Fire Burning 

Me being me, I couldn't just leave my nails as is.

So what does one do with 5 orange nails?

I turned them into butterfly wings!

 I stamped using Bundle Monster plate BM-XL14,

Joss Black & my beloved Original Creative Shop Stamper.

A for a word or 3 on the Joss Stamping Polishes...they suck!

This is the 3 time I've used the black

& I waited over half an hour before adding fast dry top coat

Seche Vite this time

It's also the 3rd time it's smeared.

I used Joss White with a fine tipped dotter to make the dots

& they smeared too, even after a long wait.

You can see the smearing best on my index nail.

I have zero hope for the Lilac Shimmer

& can't recommend this brand for stamping or other nail art.

I don't blame the US stockist I bought them from

as she didn't make the polish

& probable stocked them based on somebody's recommendation.

This is why I haven't linked the Joss to her site.

>^. .^<

Why you use sucky stampy polish over those claw pretties?

Dumb hooman.

Thanks Jazz! I know better now. LOL

Thanks for stopping by

& don't forget that the

Carpe Noctem Cosmetic

Inspiration Collection

debuts this Friday!
