I was absolutely thrilled when I wandered into Sally's and found the display for the Fingerpaints flakie polishes. I had completely forgotten that they were out and was surprised to find they hadn't completely sold out! I couldn't remember which ones I wanted, so I pulled up Jen's post on my phone in the store and decided to go for Twisted. I also decided not to do plain old black under it, so I threw on China Glaze First Mate, and was so happy with the result! This reminds me of a party way more than Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday and the many dupes of that polish.
This was 2 coats of Twisted over 2 coats of First Mate. I don't know that there are any colors that aren't part of Twisted. You will find red, blue, green, yellow, and purple depending on how the light hits your fingers.

Last week I got a random (so I thought) text from Abbie because my niece (see Sarah's pretty nails here) wanted to know who my favorite Disney princess was. I decided Ariel had the best songs and Aurora (Sleeping Beauty, for those if you who aren't in the know) had the best dress. Later on, Abbie texted me from Sally's to ask my opinion on the new flakie top coats.
A few days later, a package from Sarah with the following, picked by her and Abbie. Not such a random princesses question, after all! :)

I had just chopped my nails down and did a mani with China Glaze Loft-y Ambitions (I love the Metro Collection! Found Trendsetter in a clearance bin yesterday!) so I decided to see how Asylum would look under it. Here's the standard view...

The red/orange flakies are the most dominant, and flash yellow/green at extreme angles, but I think the blue flakies look really awesome over the red/purple of Loft-y Ambitions.
Many thanks to Abbie and Sarah for being such awesome ladies!
Wow, now you can really be a flake as much as you want to, hehehehehe! Lucky you! I had on Lofy-Ambitions last week, and put Essie As Gold as it Gets over it :-)
ReplyDeleteGood Mimi's deserve special surprises once in awhile. You're going to have to show me how to take such good pics. I used mine (twisted over black) but it doesn't show right in any of my pictures. I was proud too. :(
ReplyDelete@Gail - now I can have an excuse for my flakiness. :) I can't find my As Gold as it Gets, and am bummed... It'll turn up, I'm sure.
ReplyDelete@Abbie - Mine aren't that great, but I'll give you some pointers.
