GEM Crush - Big Money


       I was so not looking forward to removing my previous mani because of all the acrylic and I have only used it twice so I wasn't sure how to take it off.  I ended up having to use the foil method and it worked like a charm!
      I know that the Sally Hanson Gem crush line has been out since November of 2011, but it takes me a while to have enough money to hoard buy all the polishes that I NEED really really really want.  The Gem crush line came out with eight colors: Showgirl Chic (silver base), Cha-Ching! (red base), Big Money (IMO gold but have heard champagne/pewter base), Bling-Tastic (blue base), Be-Jeweled (purple base), Razzle Dazzler (pink base), Lady Luck (garnet), and Glitz Gal (charcoal base).  I picked up Big Money because it was the second one that I wanted.  The first one that I wanted was of course Razzle Dazzler because I ALWAYS want the pinks.  I can't even tell you how many pink polishes I own.  I decided to go out of my comfort zone and go for something I don't have...  gold.  I abhor the color gold but the purple colored flakes pulled me right in!  I have been sitting on this polish for about a month, so you can see that I wasn't all that excited to try it out.  I am so bummed that I waited so long because I love it!  It is so beautiful.  I love that it looks like I spent a lot of time on this mani but in just three coats, ba bammm!  Look at that shine.  I am in love.  I am SO glad I waited to take pictures while I was in the sun instead of posting the pictures from last night (the last two pictures) .  I really really want to try the other ones!!
