An electrifying mani...who doesn't love flakies? ♥

Hey everyone~ This is a mani I wore before I left for Hong Kong. I don't know why I didn't post this earlier, it's just so stunning and gorgeous ♥ I know I've previously shown this combination before but I loved it so much I had to wear it again.

I started off with two coats of China Glaze First mate and then layered over it a coat of Nubar 2010. For some reason, First mate came out looking more electric blue than navy blue this time - my first post on this combination is definitely more colour accurate. Although I wouldn't mind actually owning a blue of this shade...how beautiful!

I will NEVER tire of flakies ♥♥♥ Who thinks we need more of them? :P

Thanks for reading :)

    I know it's not colour accurate, but your pics in this post look a lot like the colour combination in Max Factor Fantasy Fire that everyone's been posting lately!

    I love flakies! I'm pretty behind the times as I only got my first one earlier this year (Essie Shine Of The Times!) but I just love it! I love this colour combo (the brighter and the darker looking versions). Maybe I might try SOTT over OPI's Dating A Royal.. hmm...

    This is STUNNING! I definitely believe we need more flakies! And holos! And glitter!

    ... ok, I"m a little too into sparkly things, i think... I need a few minutes to calm down now! :D

    I bought essie "shine of the times" about a month ago and i have been layering it over almost every single mani since. I'm obsessed. it looks almost identical to Nubar 2010. My fave combo so far has been to layer it over Essie "Mint Candy Apple." Looks just like a mermaids tail :)  But now I need more!!!

    Really! I tried so hard to find the polish whilst I was in Hong Kong...only to find out later that it's England exclusive! *sad face* :(
