September Challenges - Orange and some stamping

I am a bit late with posting but on 6th September the prompt for #30daysofcolourchallenge was orange. I used Golden Rose Holiday 53, a lovely peachy orange textured polish that I bought whilst in Turkey.
This is a lovely polish, it applied really nicely, great coverage in two coats and dried well too. In different lights it is pinky and gold, and actually a pretty good dupe for OPI Jinx.
I thought I'd try stamping with Colors by Llarowe Aubergine Dreams and another of my new Vivid Lacquer plates VL041 - I think the CBL stamped rather nicely, quite subtle but really pretty over the orange.
Then I stamped again with VL041 and A England Proserpine. This was a bit of an experiment as the image was the negative sort, so that only a small amount of what was underneath showed through. It stamped well but did obscure most of the original mani. Finally I added top coat and I think the stamping appeared more precise and the orange and purple glow through the dark teal like embers.

Colors by Llarowe Aubergine Dreams is part of the Fall 2015 Collection, all of which I have to say look pretty stunning. The collection launched on Rainbow Connection at the weekend, and I was very restrained, I just ordered the 2 darkest ones!
They arrived today and and as I had caught up with the August challenges there was no reason why I couldn't try one of them.
This polish is utterly beautiful. It applied really well, excellent coverage even on the first coat although I did add a second for a perfect finish and then a quick coat of Glisten and Glow HK Girl top coat. I bought the top coat really just for stamping but it dries so quickly I find myself using it all the time.
Holo polishes often frustrate me, they look stunning but I really struggle to capture anything on camera. I really think the holo gods were smiling down on me today - it stopped raining, the sun came out and I got a reasonable picture! I am quite pleased with all the pictures I took, they are pretty colour accurate, even the one I took with  the flash.
This aubergine purple is just gorgeous, dark with the perfect amount of holo. Under my LED desk lamp it is very distracting but even when the holo is not apparent it is still a beautiful colour.
I am so pleased I chose this one, I really like this kind of shade, dark, leaning slightly towards blue - just perfect - a definite me colour and one that will certainly be worn again this Autumn.
