Layers of Flakies

Yesterday I changed my blog layout to get into the winter spirit! I wish I lived near snow, the closest is a four hour drive. When I was making the banner, it reminded me of all the times I used to make layouts on Xanga. Haha, that was many many many years ago!

Anyways, I'm bummed that I missed out on Clairvoyant by ~25 minutes :( The bf told me to just layer another flakie on top of my current mani. I did & it turned out amazing! I've been wearing this mani for over a week now!

My previous mani was Wet n Wild Black Creme w/ three coats of Nubar 2010. It was beautiful by itself, but look how amazing it is with another flakie polish! I added two coats of Nail Inc. The Old Vic Overglaze Top Coat. The blue flakies are so gorgeous & added a nice touch. I'm in love! If only the flakie didn't come in a set & just sold by itself.

I have yet to put a matte top coat over this mani! If I do, I'll edit this post & add a few more pics!
Here it is with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love!

Wet n Wild Black Creme w/ Nubar 2010

Hello everyone! Here is my Thanksgiving mani! Three coats of Nubar 2010 over Wet n Wild Black Creme. Isn't it lovely?! I love it a lot! It reminds of the changing leaves in Autumn. Nubar 2010 is a flakie polish that gives of a orange, gold, yellow green reflection, depending on the lighting. It gives every polish that extra kick, especially over darker ones! I included what the mani would look like with 1 & 2 coats of 2010, along with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love on top. Prepare for lots of pictures! I couldn't decide which ones to use because they were all so gorgeous! I'll let you guys be the judge of that!

Did you guys enjoy the picture heavy post? Which did you like better, without or with a matte top coat? Right now I'm wearing it without a matte top coat, but I love it either way.

If you're celebrating Thanksgiving, what will you be wearing on your nails?
