Flakies Comparison

I used my last Julep here. It's a dark green jelly. The application was fine but it needs three coats to be opaque.

Base: Julep - Diane (3 coats)
Flakies on thumb, middle, and pinky: Zoya - Opal
Flakies on pointer: Finger Paints - Flecked
Flakies on ring: Finger Paints - Motley

Here it is with Essie - Matte About You:

Here is 3 coats of Diane by itself:

Anyone else hate the new blogger?

Bright Enough?

I bought this bright China Glaze and it dried matte like Turned Up Turquoise. I didn't like it matte so I didn't even take a picture. Here it is shiny:

China Glaze - Flying Dragon
Top Coat - Seche Vite

The tiny blue glitter is my favorite part!

Then I added Essie - Shine of the Times

Yum!

What do you think? 

Love, Bethany

Blue Blazes

Blue is my favorite nail polish color. I'm addicted to it. Here I use a blue that I've had for awhile with a new China Glaze from The Hunger Games collection. 


Blue: Revlon - Royal 
Flakies: China Glaze - Luxe And Lush

Here is Royal by itself (2 coats):

Of course, I had to matte it with Essie - Matte About You

Oops, my thumb is cut off!

The application of Luxe And Lush was a little difficult because it was very thick. Also, it left a very bumpy texture when it dried. One matte coat smoothed it out, but I don't know how many clear top coats it would take.


It's so pretty that I don't mind the slight difficulties. What do you guys think?


Love, Bethany

Once More With Feeling

This post is the same as the last. The only difference is that it is MATTE.

Isn't Matte Magical?

Wicked Witch

I love flakies! This is my first time using all of these polishes and they're all great!


Base: Essie - Wicked
Flakies: Finger Paints - Flashy

Yummy, right? On my right hand, I put glitter on my ring finger instead of flakies, to make an accent nail.

Glitter: Ulta - Pinata-Yada-Yada

Love, Bethany

I Love Matte

A fun green matte!


China Glaze - Holly-Day
Finger Paints - Flecked
Esse - Matte About You

The green Holly-Day was such a fun green and had great coverage in two coats. 


This is my first time using Finger Paints. I love the flakies!

Here are pictures of my nails with a matte finish.

I'm in Love with Flakies!

Ok, I'm in love with flakies and it's just the first time I've tried them!

First I used Essie - Bahama Mama
The flakies are Essie - Shine Of The Times

No Top Coat because I want to matte-ify them!

I will post the Matte Top Coat as soon as I do it!

Love, Bethany
