Some Flakie Magic

Just a fun fact to start the post: Flakie polish is my absolute, hands down, favorite kind of polish. I hoard flakies, even if they're dupes. And I have been traveling all over trying to find all of flakies from Finger Paints and have only found 3 of the 5. (So if anyone has Motley or Twisted I would be willing to buy them from you!!!). People are selling them for ridiculous prices on eBay...they're only $5 at Sally's Beauty. Stupid. Anyways, on to the polish.

Today I have NARS Zulu, which is a gorgeous dark green jelly. It's seriously so shiny without a top coat. I love it. I decided to do some layering with Finger Paints Flecked, which is green and blue flakies in a clear base. It brought Zulu to life. So pretty! Take a look:

First, Zulu all alone. Pretty! This was 3 coats.

This is 1 coat of Flecked over Zulu.

Here's a good shot of the duochrome flakies, they flash green and blue.

Look at that! The polish glows from within. So pretty.

This is in natural sunlight. 

So what do you think? Do you like the whole flakie trend? Personally, I don't think you can ever have enough. (:
