CANVAS lacquer Brickworks Hike

While I thought I was over wearing fall colours, as soon as I received a surprise package from CANVAS lacquer, I was immediately drawn to Brickworks Hike, which is part of their CANVAS The City Fall/Winter Collection.  

I think the reason was because it is unique in colour and I don't have many (if any) colours like it; it reminds me of cinnamon or nutmeg with the added bonus of glitter throughout!

Started with a base of three coats of CANVAS lacquer Brickworks Hike**.   I was a little skeptical that two (or even three) coats would make the polish opaque as one coat  provided little colour; I was questioning myself if I shouldn't have layered it over a complimentary colour.  But it did build up nicely; two coats have good coverage but three added more glitter interest and ensured it was opaque so no VNL shows (not a fan of it on me).  This has no topcoat.



CANVAS lacquer Brickworks is described on the Etsy shop as "a fiery brick red jelly loaded with brown microglitter, a mix of red holo hex, deep yellow, apricot squares and the occasional yellow biggie.  It doesn't get more autumnal than this - especially in our neck of the woods (Southern Ontario). This is very reminiscent of the changing leaves."  I have to say I couldn't agree more; this is a perfect fall shade!



Stamped using CND Gold Chrome using an image from Marianne n.36.  I thought this was a great image choice in that it added stamped interest but let the beauty of the polish shine underneath.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.



Different lighting; can see translucency of glitter better but it is darker as shown in pix above.
