Hey guys,
Happy Wednesday! How absolutely insane has the weather been? I am extremely thankful that we had no flooding or damage here at home but man oh man it was crazy! I hope if you are in the area that you stayed safe and warm and managed to avoid damage. Today the sun is shining and the sky is blue. It’s almost like the last 2 days were a bad dream and not reality. It. Is. Crazy!
Anyway, enough about the scary weather and stuffs. You are (hopefully) here to see nails so lets get to the nails. I have been wanting to do something using the chameleon chrome powders or the flakies and I just couldn’t decide what. I finally decided on something that meant I used both! Let me show you,
I started with 3 coats of Sinful Colors – Black on black on all my nails and left that to dry completely. On my pinky and ring finger I used this powder ( I used shade GRB20) from Born Pretty Store. I just have to say, this is one of the best powders I have ever used. It applies with barely any effort and the finish is amazing. It is super smooth and chrome-y. I did apply a gel topcoat to these two nails and cured that as well. On my middle and index I applied some of these flakies ( in 2345) from Born Pretty Store. These are the same shade as the pigment powder so I thought it would pair well. I topcaoted the flakies. Once everything was dry again I stamped on my pinky and ring finger using Lina Make your Mark 5 and first Color Club – Harp on it and then double stamped with Mundo de Unas – Black. I topcoated these nails again and that was that.
What do you think? Do you have any of these powders or flakies? I adore the green to purple shift and especially how visible the shift is too. I also really love the stamping image. I don’t know what it is about it but it just works SO well with the shifty base. Not to mention the pop of holo in the stamping. I know it’s not that easy to see so let me give you a closer look
Thanks for reading,
This looks beautiful! I’m trying to save my polish money for “those plates” but these powders are so tempting… especially since I don’t need gel polish to use them with… *grabs wallet and throws it across the room to try and save her bank account*
First of all, ‘those plates’ really need to be on your list and right at the top BUT. The powders are really affordable and if you wait till Black Friday you would probably get them at a steal. I have had a ton of powders and these are by FAR the best I’ve used to far. EASY peasy and beautiful!
Hehe Joyce is so funny. What gel top coat did you use? Also I’m assuming that the waterbased top coat would work too? Also this is stunning!! I love the combination of the flakies and the powder.
She’s a card! :P. I used the one from Planet Nails but yes, the water based one could as well. The only reason I used gel was for the smoother finish. My one nail has a ridge so it was very visible with regular topcoat on the chrome.
Thank you so much! xx
