NOTD: Andrea Fulerton Gemstone Overcoat

Geeez, it's been an entire week since I've last posted! I can't believe the first week of October is already coming to an end! Time is flying and before you know it, hello 2012! ;) Anyway, hope all is well.

Today, I have the gorgeous Gemstone Overcoat from Andrea Fulerton. I received this beauty in  a swap package a while back and I can't believe it's taken me this long to show you all! -_- Let's get down to business, yeah?!

  1 coat of Gemstone over China Glaze Wagon Trail 

ewww, dry cuticles! -_- lol!

Just for fun, I added 1 coat of Essence Matt TC

As you can see, Gemstone is a true beauty and is, well, a gem ;) I prefer flakies over a dark base since its true colors are fully visible and can bask in all its flakie glory! 

I used my existing mani in CG's Wagon Trail, which I showed you here. I'm not sure if Gemstone is a dupe for the famous Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, but it sure is good enough for me. (i missed out that color -_-)

Lastly, since Halloween is well on it's way, I've changed the font of my watermarks to join in on the Halloween spirit!

As always, hope this helps & happy shopping!

Do you own Gemstone? Have anything like this? In your opinion, is this a dupe for SH Hidden Treasure or Nubar 2010? What are your thoughts?! I'd love to know down below.

Swapping is addicting, end of story. :)

A few weeks ago, a couple of beauty bloggers and I agreed to swap some nail polishes and boy am I glad to have such awesome swapping partners! I'm sure you'd much rather see the pics than read a long post, so here it is! :)
