Ruby Pumps Like You've Never Seen Her Before!

China Glaze Ruby Pumps..... for me, this was THE polish that started it all.  How could you not love it!?  Here it is layered with dark undertones, topped with more sparkly glitter!  Just look at the pics!  Yummy-lic-ous-ness!



Daylight.  Hex glitters from Techno look a bit flat here.   They sparkle like mad in low light.

The layering order for this mani is:

Revlon's base coat
2 coats Revlon's 795 Devilish, a dark, dark, plum, cream-jelly hybrid
1 coat of ChG, Ruby Pumps
1 coat of ChG, Techno, sliver, holo hex glitters
1/2 coat of ChG, Love Marilyn, red and silver mini glitter, dabbed on.
1 thick coat of ChG, fast forward top coat.




Under halogen lamp.  See the holo glitter in the out of focus nails? Top of picture.

Part way through this mani, I wanted to stop.  This is 2 coats of Revlon's Devilish, under one coat of ChG's Ruby Pumps.  This was gorgeous right here.  A darker version of Ruby Pumps.  I work under a fluorescent lamp, so that is why the lighting is weird, even though my white balance setting matches.
 

Under fluorescent lamp, no top coat.

Ruby Pumps over Devilish.

I got Revlon's 795 Devilish at Big Lots for $1 in the clearance bin!!!  You can use another dark polish underneath if you wanted to replicate these manis.  I originally wanted to use ChG's Lofty Ambitions, another dark, dark red, or Lubu Heels under Ruby Pumps.  That would work too.   Oh and my Ruby Pumps bottle I believe is pushing 4 years old and the formula is still good! 

BTW the yard sale was a flop.  Hardly sold anything.  Two customers told us it was too hot to have a sale.  So basically they were telling my husband and I, that were a couple of idiots to have decided to stand around in our hot driveway with all of our junk, and should have been at the beach instead.  In hindsight they were right.

BUT, we did meet this cute husband and wife team.  The wife said to her husband, "Hey, look at this nice set of poker chips, honey!"  Husband says with a big smile, "We don't need those, we can use your clothes instead."  :D
