Flakies on Tips!

Hello,

I was so happy when Finger Paints released its Special Effects Collection. Before it was really hard to get your hands on flakies at a reasonable price. I made a couple of trips to Sally's Beauty Supply to get my hands on this particular effect called Twisted. It is a mix of all different kind of flakies and I would call it a rainbow effect.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Raven which is a metallic/cream finish. To give it a matte look I applied a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic. After it dried I applied Finger Paints Twisted on my tips. This mani looks really cool in person but it does not last long like a regular mani. My mani started to chip at the end of second day.












Items Used:
Base Coat: Seche Clear
Polish: Zoya Raven (2 coats)
Polish on Tips: Finger Paints Twisted
Top Coat: China Glaze Matte Magic

I will appreciate any suggestions or comments.

Thanks for looking.
