Stamping! A England Princess Sabra over Pahlish The Ghost of Banquo

Today I have been stamping again, this time a swirly floral pattern using A England Princess Tears over Pahlish The Ghost of Banquo.
I chose Princess Tears thinking it would go nicely with this polish since there are gold flakies in the Pahlish and Princess Sabra is a lovely greeny gold holo. I think they work really well together and although the flakies are still a bit shy I love that you can catch glimpses of the red glitter between the stamped images.
The plate I have used this time is CICI&SISI12. I think I am getting the hang of these plates now and I stamped all 10 nails fairly quickly without any difficulty. The image I chose was a nice easy one to place since it didn't really matter about positioning.
The A England polishes stamp so well. I am delighted to be using polishes like Princess Sabra, Princess Tears and Ascalon, which were my first 3 A Englands. I love them so much but I do have a preference for darker shades so they don't get used as much as I'd like. I think they will now! The contrast between a pale beautiful holo and a dark glossy vampy shade is just heaven!!! Expect plenty more manis like this on my blog!!
Lots of pictures, again - sorry and please excuse the fact that there are raindrops on my nails - it was very wet today!!
(updated - the sun shone so I added  a couple more pics)

Pahlish The Ghost of Banquo

 Today's polish is an exclusive from October's A Box Indied. This box had a Halloween theme and although I don't subscribe to the boxes I was lucky enough to get this beauty from a friend who decided it wasn't for her.
Pahlish's The Ghost of Banquo is a deep dark red with tiny glitters and flakies, in red, gold and purple. The red glitter is the most predominant, but I can see the flashes of purple in bright lights. The gold flakies are a bit shy I think - I can see plenty in the bottle!
The polish was slightly thick so I think I'd add a drop of thinner next time, and hopefully catch some more flakies too. That said, I got good coverage with 2 coats and I love that blood red shimmery look! Definitely a polish worthy of The Scottish Play.
I can't actually believe that I refused to wear dark red nails until a couple of years ago, stubbornly sticking to blue and green. These just look so elegant, and it really is a very wearable colour - I just love it, so rich and luxurious!!
