Rainbow Flakies

If you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen this one, since I couldn't resist posting it early. I used one coat of Wet N Wild - Black Creme as by base color and then added two flakie top coats over the nails. First is Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Black and second is Sinful Colors - Green Ocean. If you're a long-time follower you saw this exact combination in June 2012! :) 

Neon Splatter

First I planned to enter the Splatter Mani Competition by Sophie from My Awesome Beauty with this design, but seeing the result I decided for it to be a test run. I'm not quite happy with the colors I chose and I think it's just a bit to busy. Plus it isn't too photogenic (neon!) so I think I can do better! You can win the Art Deco collection by Linda Johansen, which is a very tempting price. You can enter your own splatter designs until the 15th of July! 

So for this one I used two coats of Flormar - M103 and then splattered on the following colors with a straw: China Glaze - Pool Party, Kleancolor - Bikini Green and Essie - Licorice. On top is one coat of Essence - BTGN Top Sealer. 

Rainbow Flakies (Sinful Colors - Green Ocean + Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Black)

So, I bet you've seen those very special flakie top coats from Cult Nails (Unicorn Puke/Clairvoyant), Picture Polish (Festival), etc.? The ones with the  multicolored flakies? The ones which are almost always and everywhere sold out and quite expensive in addition? I wanted one of those really bad but I'm not gonna pay 20 $ for a bottle of nail polish. So since I own one of the prettiest green and blue flakie nail polish for some days now I decided to do my own rainbow flakie. 

You see two coats of Wet 'n' Wild - Black Creme, one coat of Sinful Colors - Green Ocean and one coat of Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Black. Plus one coat of Seche Vite as always.

So these two nail polishes are about 2 $ each and they're both easy and fast to apply. I'd definitely recommend combining the flakies you do already own! 

I used a matte top coat later and it looked gorgeous as well!
