1 year blog anniversary!

Hello everyone~ :) You've probably gathered from my post title but today's my one year blog anniversary! I'm really happy to have made it this far and I want to thank each and every one of my lovely readers who read, follow and/or comment! I seriously wouldn't have continued blogging if there was no one reading so it's definitely thanks to you all for your continuous support ♥ I'm in the midst of putting together a giveaway to celebrate this huge milestone and it will hopefully be up shortly!

But of course, a post can't be left without mani photos so I'll show you yet another layering I've done with the pretty Nubar 2010. I layered one coat of this beautiful flakey over two coats of Orly Prince charming. Prince charming has been a long time brown nail polish lemming of mine and I love it on my tips!

And because flakies look fantastic matte, here it is with a matte topcoat.

I think I'm rather digging the matte look of this :D What do you think, matte or glossy?

    Those flakies are just gorgeous, they look good both ways but I like them a little bit more glossy :)

    I really like it both ways. I would probably wear it glossy for a day then put matte on for the rest of the wear time :)  Congrats on one year!
