This lovely shade is super gorgeous, and even more so since I was able to get full coverage in 1 coat. I really liked the way it looked with the yellow blouse I was wearing that day too!

I first saw the stunning Fresh Paint - Sophia on an instagram page (@mannicured) and found it in my local store shortly after. This color must have triggered some extra creativity because I had so much fun putting this mani together. It has a bit of everything - layering, stamping, stripes, dots. The final result made me smile a lot. I may do this same mani in another color way sometime.

China Glaze - Dress Me Up

COATS:
1 - 2 ( I don't remember, but know this is a 1-coater.)
SOURCE:
Sally Beauty Supply ( I think!)
COMMENTS:
I still had this out on my desk from swatching it, and decided it was up next for my mani. The stamping didn't turn out quite like I planned, but was better when I made it matte a day later.









It happened to match my pillowcases!
