Flakie Jelly Sandwich

I saw Amy from Mcpolish do this a while ago and of course had to try it. I then followed with what she has said time and time again, "Matte All the Flakies!".

Isn't it amazing? I couldn't stop staring at them when I wore it!

I started off with one thick coat of OPI- Ski Teal We Drop.

Then I used two coats of Polish Me Silly- Flakey Fun which is part of their flakie multichrome collection. I probably could have just done one coat, but I feel the flakies wouldn't have been as strong with the jelly on top.

The jelly I used on top is China Glaze- Ride The Waves (Summer Neons Collection 2012). Probably the most well loved jelly from China Glaze. I applied a thinnish coat just to be sure the flakies didn't get devoured.

The holographic on my ring finger is Cirque- Trocadero (Burlesque Collection Fall 2014). I used two easy coats, this polish was flawless like every other Cirque polish.

Lastly, I applied Essie- Matte About You for that awesome matte effect!

Here is one last photo:

You can get this Polish Me Silly on Etsy along with tons of other great polishes!

Polish Me Silly Multichrome Flakies

Last year the nail trend was textured polishes, and now this year the big thing (in the indie world so far) is multichrome flakies! I love me some flakies, now they are multichrome which makes them even better, and endless color combos!

Of course I had to mattify them! Here are some more pictures from different angles.

As you can see, these are very hard to take pictures of. Adding a matte top coat usually helps with photo taking.

The color I used here is Polish Me Silly- Party Hearty. I used two coats over OPI- Sapphire in the Snow. You can see her that it is fairly opaque, but you may need like 6 coats to get it fully opaque. I think that goes for most of the multichrome flakies except the I Love Nail Polish ones.

I really enjoyed this one, and I wore another one recently but a little differently, stay tuned for that!

4th of July Nails

As promised yesterday, here are my 4th of July nails!

 

Here is what I did last year. This years water marble came out MUCH better.

I used a whole bunch of polishes for this! First, the base I used for every nail is OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls (Spiderman Collection 2012). My go to white, not your traditional stark white, but still white enough, and a very good formula.

The glitters:
My index finger is Sally Hansen- Red White & Hue (Color Frenzy Line). I am not too sure if this is limited edition, I just stumbled upon this at Target and had to get it since I don't have a red white and blue polish in a clear base. I know Hard Candy has one too. The formula wasn't the best. I tended to get a lot of the clear base on my brush rather than glitter, so it got a little thick.

My pinky is Polish Me Silly- Razzmatazz (Formally known as Lush Lacquer). This polish is no longer available unfortunately. It is just red and blue medium hex glitters in a clear base.Very easy to work with.

Red and Blue:
Everyone in the nail polish world knows about Sally Hansen- Pacific Blue being changed to an awful formula along with some other loved Xtreme wear polishes. I have heard these polishes are great for water marbling, so I gave it a whirl. I think it came out pretty good. It didn't spread out as easily as the OPI's I used, but it got the job done. It especially got the job done for the stripes on my middle finger since it is so creamy and opaque. I got the striping tape from Nailvinyls, and used various sizes.

The red is a new one to my collection and the nail polish world, which is OPI- Coca-Cola Red (Coca- Cola Collection 2014). This polish is FLAWLESS! I used it on my other hand for the base before applying the Sally Hansen glitter. Super creamy and opaque, and almost a one coater. I think I may have a new favorite red.

I think that covers everything. If you are in the US, have a safe and fun holiday!
