Beauty product review and manicure article heading your way.  I had the great fortune to have won the entire March Ice Cream Shoppe Collection from Sally Girl Cosmetics & Nail Color.  The colors from left to right are: Chocolate Chip, Mint Chip, Cherry Chip, and Grape Sherbert.

I decided to do a skittles manicure with no base color.  I was able to get opacity with three coats for Mint Chip, Cherry Chip, and Grape Sherbert.  Since Chocolate Chip is more of a translucent white, it took four coats and still it was very light but I decided to stop at four. 

I couldn’t resist adding some stamping to this manicure.  I decided I would play off the title of the collection and stamp some ice cream.  I used Cheeky plate CH10, CH17, and Jumbo Plate 7.

I used the stamping decal method. I failed to take pictures of this step.  I just simply forgot.  Basically you stamp the image and let it dry completely on the stamper.  Then you paint the image.  You can paint it either with polish or acrylic paint and then let that completely dry.  Add a thin layer of top coat to your nail and wait to it gets tacky and then stamp the image on.  The squishy stamper is the best to us for this method. 

It was my first time using this particular stamping method and I love it.  I like how the images came out.

I give the March Ice Cream Shoppe Collection, 5 brains.

You can pickup Sally Girl polish at Sally Beauty Supply stores and they cost $0.99.
