Topic Tuesday: Brands you want to try is 2020

I had wanted to try a polish by KBShimmer, Take it or Leaf it, but I don't think it's on sale anymore. I was lusting after a topper polish, a copper duochrome flakie, basically Autumn in a top coat. So I think I want to try Fancy Gloss in the shade Magma.

I would have liked to share a photo of the polish I wanted to try, however I am yet to try it!

  

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Flakies

I don't have many flakie polishes, around four or five. Couldn't decide between the following two;

 

Look Beauty Nail Pop
L: Pearl Effect R: Sequin Effect

  

Review: Born Pretty Store - Multichrome Flakie Pots #41684*

These five pots of multichrome flakies come in individual baggies, inside of these are a small 1g pot of flakies and a foam tipped applicator.

You can apply them by dipping the applicator in to the pot and then dabbing over the tacky base coat. I used my finger to do this rather than the applicator because the flakes are quite large and don't need burnishing in.

You could use a gel polish and use the inhibition layer to stick it too or as I did just a normal polish which is about 90% dry. They are quite textured and so I needed two coats of a topcoat to smooth them down.

Four of these I have applied over a black base;

Pot One

The first one is a pink to green duochrome shade

Pot Two

The second on is a orange to green duochrome 

Pot Three

Pot three is a blue to purple to turquoise duochrome

Pot Four

Pot four is predominantly green, but it does have some blue duochrome to it

Pot Five

Pot five I applied over a silver base polish. It is holographic shards which don't look that special in the photo below but when your hands are moving and catching the light you can see the holographic pieces better.
