Flakies! Flakies! Flakies!

Hello,

I am so in love with Finger Paints Special Effects Collection. I have done a mani using Zoya Raven and Finger Paints Twisted before and used Twisted only on the tips in that mani. You can check that post here. Twisted 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. After it dried I applied Finger Paints Twisted. To give it a matte look, I applied a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic. This mani looks really cool in person but it does not last long like a regular mani. So after the first day, I applied Seche Vite.

Giveaway I won & Zmail

Hello,

Today I received not one but two mail packages. Awesome! First, I will start with the giveaway polishes that I won. Kristin from http://luminouslacquer.blogspot.com/ did her first giveaway on her Facebook page when she reached 50 likes. She mailed these beauties on Wednesday and I received them on Friday in a perfect condition. She also wrote a very cute note. Thank you Kristen and I love both the polishes. Also, it may surprise you to know that I do not own any Revlon or Nicole by OPI polishes. I had used Revlon in the past but do not have any in my present collection. This is going to be my first time trying Nicole by OPI.

I also received my Zmail today. I ordered them when Zoya released its Valentine's Day promo. So I just paid a total of $8 for both of these polishes including shipping.

I will appreciate any suggestions or comments.

Thanks for looking.

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.
