Burgundy Bounty

This weeks' mani is 5 polishes that look like one of my favourite colours in the bottle.... burgundy!  I define burgundy as purple that is so red it is no longer purple and is now burgundy.  On the nail is another story.  It's a fine line between burgundy and wine and one of them actually is closer to what I have seen others call Raspberry.  Here are the names of the polishes I used in order, thumb to pinky:

Social Animal by China Glaze - Worst smelling.  Skinny brush means many strokes to cover nail.
Rihana by Zoya - Best application!  Thick little brush.  Love it.
Cowgirl Up by China Glaze - Slighly thicker than other China Glaze so went on a touch easier despite skinny  brush.
Adoring Amethyst by Sally Hansen  - Worst application.  Streaky and watery.  Horrible uneven coverage.  Took 3 coats when bottle says 2 and is much lighter on the nail than in the bottle.  Not to mention, how weird is the name?  When I hear Amethyst I think purple.  This is not purple.  It's also not drying.  Still tacky after 45 minutes.
Dark Roses by Sally Hansen - Easy application and good coverage.

Sorry, I didn't realize how late it is.  Photos of my nails is going to have to wait until tomorrow night. Bye for now!

P.S. Look what I got....
The new Bundle Monster Plates!
Those will be my next post!

Ok, here are some photos using my cell phone.  It's always good at getting the colour right.  Have to say this is the most messed up mani I have had in a long time!  The polish just didn't want to dry.  Perhaps it is the humidity we had.  Did it too close to bed so woke up with every nail messed up somehow.  I chip, a piece fuzz, fingerprint, sheet print, and more! Was amazed at how much the top coat hides!

Pinky - Dark Roses by Sally Hansen


Rhiana, Cowgirl Up and Dark Roses are pretty much identical. 

Social Animal and Adoring Amethyst are very close.  I thinkAdoring Amethyst is red rather than burgundy.  Social Animal has a fair amount of pinkish shimmer.  It makes me think "jelly" when I look at it but I don't think it is . As for colour, it is more of a cranberry or raspberry.  It's an unusual colour that is growing on me more and more.
