Snowflake Waltz Collection: Toy Soldier (B227) - Dark Plum Stamping Polish

This color can be worn alone or used for nail art with stamps. When used with stamps on white nails, it is magnificant, but when worn alone, it is sultry.

This is my first time trying Maniology polishes and stamping plates. I ordered 8 polishes in total, and this one was the only one that came with a bit of a leakage during shipping (hence the -1 star). Aside from that, this is a beautiful polish with a smooth consistency and pretty much opaque in one coat. As a base coat, it looks a rich deep plum color that I love. Stamped over Spiced Orange it looks like a brighter berry color, and I suspect this is true stamping over other brighter/lighter colors, giving this polish a nice versatility. I didn't think this polish is too thick or too thin.

Beautiful and versatile color. It was a bit too thick/dry to spread evenly to cover and pickup the stamp, so I diluted it with Nail Lacquer Thinner and used Maniology Sticky Base Coat to help it stamp better. The pictures show how color varies depending on the boldness of the lines of the design. Taken in sunlight which dilutes the appearance color, which is a rich dark red.

Beautiful deep color. It was a bit too thick or dry to evenly cover the design and be evenly picked up by the stamper, so I diluted it with Nail Lacquer Thinner and used Maniology Sticky Base Coat to help it stamp well. Loved the result! The color varies depending on the boldness of the design. Photos were taken in sunshine which dilutes the color.

Beautiful and versatile color. It was a bit too thick/dry to spread evenly to cover/pickup the stamp consistently. I diluted it with a well known brand's Nail Lacquer Thinner and used Maniology Sticky Base Coat to help it stamp well. Loved the result! The pictures show how color varies depending on the boldness of the lines of the design.
