Creative Cran-O-Berries

This is a really old color - but it is so lovely!  It has a beautiful shimmer - a pearlescent glow, really.  Just exquisite!

Essie Big Spender

Essie Big Spender is a color I picked up from Target the other day; I have no idea what collection it was from - sorry.  It's a lovely pink/plum creme, which (without comparing side-by-side) reminds me of OPI Dim-Sum-Plum, ABitC, etc.  Application was fantastic - as with most Essie cremes - the formula was perfect, easy to control, perfectly opaque at 2 coats, and has a very glossy finish.  I used Poshe as a TC here, and the next day added CND Raspberry Sparkle over it to kick it up a little.  Beautiful!  Enjoy -     >^..^<

Creative Winterfire

Creative Winterfire is an old polish - I've had it for years, and comes in the old style oval bottle.  This particular polish has beautiful sparkles in the bottle, but unfortunately they don't translate well on the nail, even in the sun.  It just looks like specks, which is disappointing.  It is a bit sheer, even after 3 coats, as I can still see VNL.  Old Creatives are often talked about as "slow/never drying" but I've never had that problem.  I used Orly Nailtrition and SV (since it is not a 3-free polish), and it dried fine for me.  Love the color though, even if the sparkles are a let-down!
