Week 3: Color Block Mani.

Here's what I came up with for this week's color block mani theme. I think this is what color block is supposed to look like. Hah.

The blue I used was China Glaze Flyin' High, the chartreuse color is China Glaze Electric Pineapple, the taupe color is American Apparel Mouse, & I used LA Color Art Deco in black for the lines. Electric Pineapple is one of my favorite China Glaze that I bought last year. It sucks that I spilt half the bottle on my bed sheets! That's what I get for always doing my nails in bed :(

Finger Paints Special Effects Flecked

Good afternoon! I have more flakies to show you guys! Finger Paints Special Effects consist of five flakies & this is the second one I'm showing you. If you didn't see the one when I used Twisted, click here! Out of the five, this is my second favorite, with Twisted being first. I love the color green, so Flecked is perfect for me! Depending on how you angle your nails, you can see the green turning into blue flakies. Love this!

I'm wearing two coats of Sinful Colors See You Soon with two coats of Finger Paints Flecked. When I was looking through my polishes, it was difficult to find a really dark blue, alas I found SYS, a dark blue with shimmers. I then skipped adding Seche Vite for my top coat & late added Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love to finish it off



Now from the beginning.


See You Soon & Flecked.
