There have been a fair few discussions in the GLITTAH Pirates Facebook group about what a “boutique” polish actually is, and most of these finally concluded that it’s a high end polish only found in select stores (e.g. Ciaté, Deborah Lippmann) or an indie polish created by a single person, but mixed and produced in a proper manufacturing environment (e.g. A England, Cult Nails).

So that quickly helped me to decide to go with one of my untried A England polishes: Elaine. It’s a wonderful dark purple that’s practically a one-coater. For some added nail art, I stamped using Essie Nothing Else Metals and an image from CICI&SISI 04.

This is the first time I’ve used one of these plates, from the Jumbo 1 set, and I am very impressed. They are a good size for my nails and there are lots of lovely images to choose from. They work best (thus far) with my Konad stamper. However, I had problems with the little fingernail and I just couldn’t get it right, and even this (my third attempt) is wonky!

Take a look at what everyone else has done for this prompt:
