Ruby Kisses Red Romance

This isn't a brand I am familiar with or have heard much about in the other nail blogs I read but I came across it at a local beauty supply store. Always looking for some new brands to try I snatched up a few and this is the first one I have tried. Ruby Kisses Red Romance. I must admit I do like the name. This is 3 layers I think.

The first layer was quite opaque, the second didn't have enough sparkle, so I tried a third layer. No problem with application other than my impatience and not wanting to wait for each layer to completely dry.

I wasn't to sure about the glitter. There is a mix of rectangular pieces and small circular pieces. The circle pieces were fine but the rectangular pieces were a little to sparse making it look a little odd at first (I say at first because this polish did grow on me).

Since I have been a little bored with my manis lately (just polish, no Konad or designs) I stepped out of the box and tried these LA Colors Art Deco pens. My daughter is great with them. The first and only other time I tried them was disastrous so I let them be.

What do you think. Not horrible. Not great, but not horrible. Doing my right hand was torture and that is why you don't see any pics of it!! Here is the final result as they seemed to dark so I thought the white would give it a little pop.

Should I have gone that far? White stripe or no white stripe, which way do you like better?
