China Glaze Cowgirl Up

I know that it has been some time since the Rodeo Diva collection came out, but I just recently got this polish.  I really like it. 

No, I am not that going to go out with my nails looking like this!  I do usually take my pics before doing any cleanup. LOL

It was suggested to me at the Bare Escentuals Boutique that I get Beautiful Lisa.  I have to admit that it scared me, but in the end, I love how it turned out.  The SA's at the boutique love to pair it with browns, so that is what I did.
