Elevation When the Cherry Met the Spoon

Ok, back from my work trip and done with being subtle, dainty, or professional, I pulled out a vibrantly colored Elevation Polish, When the Cherry Met the Spoon.

indoor, bright CF lighting
Cherry was originally a prototype that then made it to the core line with (IIRC) a bit more holo dust.  It's a saturated berry wine shown here at 3 coats, but was much closer to berry-red at one coat or in bright sunlight, as below.

outdoor, direct sunlight
I honestly preferred the more red color, and if had been sheer but even at one coat, I would have left it that way.  Cherry has a scattering of color-shifting chrome flakies and a handful of holo dust tossed into its jelly base for visual interest in different lighting conditions, but the look in bright light stayed my fave.

YASSSS that warm color and bright sparkle
I've recently snagged a bottle of Baroness X's new group custom, Sir Cockicorn, which is a 230-type shifting pigment in a clear base instead of the usual bluish- or purple-tinted base.  Since Cherry already had flakes and holo going on, why not add 230 and a stamp to boot?

indirect daylight
Here I'm using the rising sun/fan design from the corner of Bundle Monster's Japan plate (BM-XL-155, which is turning out to be my most used plate ever) and Born Pretty gold stamping polish for accent nails, plus a layer of Sir Cockicorn over everything.  It didn't change the base color much at all, and I did get a hint of that lovely emerald flash.

late afternoon daylight
Rating:  3 out of 5 stars for Cherry.  Still need to play around with SC to unlock all his possibilities!
