I'm Swatchin' You - Icing Cherry Blossom

I did it again...I bought another Icing polish!  This one is called Cherry Blossom.  I've been wanting to find some great raspberry shades to my stash.  This one was a little brighter than I would normally like, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway.  Given the problem with Icing's wonky brushes, I did check the brush in the store, so no problems there.  I know I've had a lousy track record with Icing's polishes.  I really do love some of their colors.  Their brushes and formula are just not always up to par.  However, I was actually a bit happier with this polish than I have been with the others.  I did have a slight problem with it flooding my cuticles, so I'll try to get it to thicken up a bit to fix that.  So excuse the mess.  Not a fun color to clean up!


SH Double Duty and SH Insta-Dri for base and top.  Mental note:  need to add more thinner to the top coat.  Boy, that one really likes to thicken up!  Other than that, it's a great top coat.

      I need more. I don't have much in the way of pinks or reds.

    I love colors like this, and this one is gorgeous to me. Wife and I have over 100 colors and numerous shades of reds, raspberries and fuchsias.

      I really need to get more. I am just so addicted to purples, blues, and greens. But it's getting to the point where it's difficult to avoid dupes.
