COATS: 2 of each, although both can be applied in 1 generous coat.
TOPCOAT?: Not until after stamping
SOURCE: Golden Rose from goldenroseusa.com, OPI from local nail supply store
COMMENTS: This color has caught my eye quite a few times from the shelf where it sits, so I decided to start my slew of Golden rose manis with it. When I picked it up, however, I thought it looked familiar, so also grabbed OPI - Ginger Bells to wear with it since they looked so similar. Ginger Bells is just a hint darker than 257, but most people wouldn't notice the difference.
I absolutely love this color. It reminds me of caramel, clay, and Thai Iced tea all at the same time!
Here are the beauties - so shiny on their own!
Can you tell which is the Golden Rose and which is the OPI?
Stamped with the following:
Stamp pattern from Magnonails XL plate B
Artificial lighting:
Sunlight:
Two other looks to consider - layered with one coat each of Jessie's Girl - Firefly and Barielle - Elle's Spell
Oh, and yes, I cut my nails this weekend. I'm liking the shorties again, they're so much fun!
love this!

ReplyDeleteI adore that stamp! Where do you buy the Magnonails plates?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments!
ReplyDelete@Missy Pratt: I bought my XL stamping plates from magnonails.de. If you are not in a country where you can order directly from their site, you will have to use their Contact Us functionality to send an email with your request. They seem to be out of a few plates. Chez Delaney has the same plates for sale, but at a higher price.
I am loving this! So many awesome colors for the Fall in one manicure! I think the Golden Rose looks darker but that might just be me!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a konad-fan, but this is seriously beautiful. Well done! I love Ginger Bell too btw :)
