Green Flakies

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, June 1, 2011

This is another polish I picked up at Forever 21. Its a very sheer shimmery green with gold flakes. Its the type of polish that would take a hundred coats to build up to the color in the bottle. In these pics I layered it over 2 coats of Orly Ancient Jade. It added just a hint of shimmer without changing the Jade color.

This was one coat of green Love & Beauty.
Just a few flakes here and there.

This was two coats. Just a few more flakes, not that big of a difference.

Three coats of green Love & Beauty gives it a similar appearance to Nubar 2010. The flakes in this are much more sparse, but can build up to the same effect. Also the flakes in 2010 are larger than these flakes.

I'm having trouble being sent on an endless loop of logging in when I try to respond to comments. :( If anyone has a tip for me, I'd appreciate it!

A Polished Touch asked me about what size these nails are that I've been doing the cartoons on.
Answer - These were just called "Acrylic Nail Tips", these are size "0" or the largest. Length approx 3cm or 1.25in. The width fits my thumb. I'll try to post a comparison on my natural nail in an upcoming set!
I've been using them first because they're the largest canvas! Now I've used all of the "0" and will be using the "1" size next, and so on, and so on.
