Twisted Flaky Fun

Hello gentle readers.

I am rocking nubs, thanks to a series of unfortunate events that befell my poor nails. And dangit all anyway as I have swatching to do. Now, I am not adverse to swatching on nubbins but I prefer a little length to my nails for swatches; makes my nails and the polish look prettier, to me. So, while I await a little more length, I am enjoying my stash, going back and revisiting old friends who haven't seen much action, lately. And splashing on flakies. For some reason, I am really feeling the flakies.

This manicure was a fast and easy one. I already had base coat on, so I just slopped on a coat of Wet-n-Wild Black Creme (you don't need a review, you already know how great that polish is, I am sure) then a coat of Finger Paints Twisted. I topped it all with a coat of Gelous then a coat of Seche Vite. My one regret? The coat of Gelous. I liked how glossy and shiny it looked but the Gelous made this mani dry very slowly.





Ooo! Isn't that just one of the prettiest flakies? Photos don't do this full justice.

Okay, time for me to run along. Thank you for popping in. Have a great day, stay warm and may your polish never bubble.

    I actually pulled out one of my flakies today! Have been wondering why my set has been lounging instead of being worn! Love this!

    Aren't they great? I love all of the colours. I thought that my nails looked like black opals, with this combo. :D

    Flakies are fun. Color Club, Essie, Nubar... A lot of polish companies make nice ones. The multicoloured ones are harder to find, tho. My fave black polish is Wet n Wild Black Creme. It is inky black, if applied carefully is good in one coat, dries fast and looks great on it;s own, layered or as part of nail art. Oh, and it stamps great, too. And it's cheap. A buck or two a bottle. :)

I love to know what you're thinking. I dig honest discourse and lively discussion, even a good debate. I do not dig hate speech or personal attacks either against myself or my gentle readers.
