A Glitter and Flakie Sandwich

 I started the idea with a glitter flakie sandwich when I wore OPI's Don't Mess with OPI. This is a really beautiful almost hunter green. It only needed two coats and it was really easy to work with. Even though I had fun with this polish I thought that a little glitter would really make it pop, but it ended up just look like a Christmas Wreath! That would be cute except, we're about three months away. Don't get me wrong, I love, LOVE Christmas so much that.. umm.. I may or may not already be listening to Christmas songs when I feel down. O_o

This is a coat of Color Club Object of Envy over Don't Mess with OPI. It's a cute combo, but a little on the Christmas side.

Then I decided to add some Nubar 2010 to take the Christmas look and feel away, but then it seemed that the flakes overpowered the glitter.

Finally, I added another coat of Object of Envy and I was so happy with the final look. Just the right amount of flakes show through.

 That's my glitter and flakie sandwich! I actually tried this as well with red glitter and the flakes gave it a really awesome effect. It ended up looking AMAZING, so I will have to post that mani sometime next week.

P.S.

 Eileen if you're reading this, I'm working on taking pics of my stash so it might be a few more days before I can get it posted!

A Berry Blue Layering

 I have been on a blue kick since last week and this is one of my NOTD's I wore. It's Barielle Berry Blue with three other polishes layered on top. Yikes! I say yikes because when I layer, I normally don't do more than two polishes, but I was in a layering kind of mood. The other polishes I used were Nubar 2010, Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black and Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple, in that order.

 It was really amazing to see the different colors that the flakes and glitters reflected. I kept turning my hand to be able to view it at different angles. I attempted to catch all the different facets of this mani and I think I may have succeeded.

This first picture has a little bit of all the different colors.

Here the green is more pronounced. The green was my favorite!

It's a little dull here because of all the light in the background but this reddish looked really amazing, almost like a phoenix red in real life.



 I would like to play around with more layerings, but the removal is a bit too much for me right now. I'm saving all my foil for my Lynnderella's! *insert evil laugh here*
