Welcome again to the weekly happy hour!! The drink of the day is a Cherry Pie cocktail inspired by China Glaze Chery Pie nail polish (ooooh, I just realized that I got a double C in that one!! wohoo!!)
This polish is.. juicy!! That's a one-word description. And for a grown-up description it is a coral-ish bright red with pink/red glass specks in it. Consistency of this is close to a jelly. It builds upon itself but it's not as smooth as a true jelly polish.
I used three coats for this mani and I could still see some VNL's... Not too crazy about that even though I really like the color. No problems with the formula although dry time was just a smidge longer than I'm used to.
Cherry Pie is part of China Glaze 2009 Summer Days collection and can be purchased at e-tailers including eNailSupply.
And now let's all virtually taste this delicious sounding cocktail!!!
Cherry Pie Cocktail
- 4 ounces of whipped cream flavored vodka (I personally love Pinnacle!!)
- 2.5 ounces of black cherry juice
- 2 tablespoons of freshly whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
- ice
- Mix ice, black cherry juice and whipped cream flavored vodka together in a chilled martini mixer.
- Shake mixer vigorously and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherry.
