Mint Chocolate Fudge Mani / Canmake Nail Topping Coat Almond Crunch #05

Hi everyone, long time no post! I've been kind of busy lately, I'm currently on vacation visiting family and friends, and before that I had friends stay with me for a week so I've been running around non stop for over a month!  Finally I can post the mint chocolate chip mani that I did a few months ago and never had a chance to show off.  

 I started with Canmake Peppermint Cream #53.  Mint Green is one of the "it colors" for nails this season, so this color was perfect.  It took three coats to be even, but is very pretty!

Then to make the chocolate fudge, I used Sweets Sweets NL36.  Sweets Sweets is a Japanese drugstore polish, and they're pretty cheap at around $3 a bottle.  Their bottles are pretty cute, and I need to swatch this one on it's own eventually.  Maybe for fall.  On top of that I used Canmake Nail Topping Coat Almond Crunch 05 (which contains real almonds and shells!) I finished it off with black rhinestones on the ring finger and thumb.  I really liked how this came out, and got a few compliments from friends :)  What do you think?
