These first pictures were taken last night, right after painting and konading:
(USELESS FACT OF THE DAY: That Christmas tree design in the background was my jammy pants! lol)
And just like cherry topping on top of my bowl of ice cream - this didn't last long!! Cherry Topping has no staying power. These last three shots, I just went outside and snapped 'em before making this post. So this polish only lasted from about 10:30 last night until 1:30 today when I took these pics. Look at all that tip wear. And if you couldn't tell by the amount of posts I have done today, it's not like I have been busily typing here at work. Not to mention that I had two coats of Poshe on these too.
****UPDATE - WIXBETTY, one of my great readers brought it to my attention that this "tip wear" might be shrinkage from my topcoat and not tip wear at all! I painted these right before bed last night, and didn't really pay much mind until I went to take my outside shots today. I think she could be right! Thanks for the information Wixbetty :)

Since the amount of tipwear is consistent over all four fingers, could it be shrinkage from the Poshe instead?
I know certain polishes pull back from the nail edge with quick dry topcoats unless you wrap the edge of the nail.
(and/or use a non-quick-dry topcoat over the color and under the quick-dry. I usually do both to prevent this from happening.)
Love the silver over the red, by the way- have to try it myself! =)
WIXBETTY - You just might be right! Usually I will notice shrinkage, but since I finished this so late last night, I went to bed shortly after and didn't really take much notice until I went to take my outside shots today. Thanks for the info, I am going to add this in an update, I would hate to spread false info about the lovely MISA's! :)
Dang! what a pity about the shrinkage, the red/silver combo looks great.
I love it! I bought some SH chromes on ebay, but they've just been chilling in my closet.
Gotta dig them out and copy this :D
OLGA - I know, I hate shrinkage- grrr! Thanks, though. I really was pleased with the chrome too.
PIXIE - Get in that closet of doom and get them suckers out!
Wow! Those really turned out great!
On polishes that I know are prone to tip pull-back (shrinking), I swipe it over the top of the nail first, then polish the rest. That helps anchor it in place - something you may want to try with that one.
I love the silver on red...cherries indeed!
Ooh me likey :)
JAMIE - Thank you! I will have to try that next time, thanks!
NIXXY - Me happy :)
