While visions of sugar plums painted on their nails...

It's Monday mani : D  and today we have 'Sugar Plums', another lacquer from China Glaze's 'Tis The Season To Be Naughty or Nice 2010 Collection.

Sugar Plums indoors 

Sugar Plums is a deep burgundy wine shade with micro multicolored glitter.

Too cold to go outside and take picture, so I just drew the curtain  :)  Sugar plums in sunlight...kind of  :P

This nail polish only needs two coats to achieve opacity.

Tried to capture the sparkly goodness :) 

Sugar plums is the kind of nail lacquer that needs to be seen in person (and in direct sunlight) in order to admire it for all its sparkly loveliness.

In this photo, you can see the gritty bumpy finish.

One thing I was put off by was the texture of Sugar Plums once it dried; a semi-matte, bumpy(looks as if you have air bubbles in your polish) and gritty finish. An industrial strength shiny top coat is mandatory with this one!

So what are some of your favorite burgundy wine polishes?

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
