A Vixen that is Demure and Stamped

It's MONDAY! Why am I excited about this abomination of a day you ask? Today I'm receiving nail mail that I've been waiting for forevuh! I don't know if it's the postal service here or because things have to get on a plane to get to me but items take a while to get to my polish hungry hands.

Anyway, continuing with Month(s) of Untrieds, today I have Essie Demure Vixen for you. It's a beautiful nude-y color with an amazing pink shimmer. It borders on looking like old-lady mauve but doesn't really get there so it's still wearable.

It has a good formula, doesn't streak or drag though you need 3 coats for full opacity, but that's to be expected. This is meant as a sheer color and it totally works. I don't know why I like this so much.

Then I stamped with China Glaze Gothic Lolita and Konad plate m64.

I love this look. It's eye catching but still delicate and classy. My stamping wasn't perfect but I'm slowly getting the hang of it again.

This is also my first set of pictures using my new lightbox! I honestly don't know how I feel about them. On the one hand I can tell they're probably going to be more color accurate, but they look softer, unfocused in a way. So I ask you all, do you think they look better/same/worse? I definitely still need to fiddle with it and re-learn how to pose and take pictures with this but I'd like any feedback you have to offer :)

Have a good day and, don't worry, the week will be over before you know it! Then you get to do it all over again. Ok, that might be a downer, sorry.
