Topic Tuesday: Favourite Flakies

I have shown Magma a few times recently, however it is autumn in a flakie polish. Along with that one this past year I was on the hunt for a blue purple flakie, eventually I got one from Polish Me Silly.

As this is iridescent it was difficult to photograph, the above photo is most accurate.

Because the polish is so packed with flakies the formula is tricky to work with and left my nails feeling chunky.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Toppers for Autumn

Autumn calls for flakies, and flakies that are matte. Fancy Gloss Magma is a nice autumnal one, has all of the colours leaves go in autumn. Nail Pop Sequin is another orange based flakie, similar to Magma but without so many colours leans more to the green side of the spectrum.
