I was lucky enough to get all 5 polishes in the Finger Paints Special Effects collection thanks to the lovely Kitty of Kitty Polish n Bags. She had extras and sent me all 5! Love her! These flakies look best over a dark base, generally black, but I wanted to put them over something a little different. I used a deep maroon wine coloured polish OPI's Eiffel for this Color. Then I used Finger Paints Flecked which is a green flakie and Finger Paint's Motley which is a green-blue flakie as an accent nail.
Damn I love flakies.
Eiffel for this Colour was a part of OPI's 2008 Tour De France Collection and is a seriously hot vampy colour. It reminds me of Black Cherry Chutney. It is freakin gorgeous. Not the most unique polish I've ever seen around, but love it regardless. It's dark enough to make the flakies really pop too.
When flakies came out they really stole my heart and have to really be one of my favourite things.
How do you like my favourite effect? What is your favourite effect? Have you tried putting flakies over any other colours other than black?

If I had read the challenge correctly, I would have done flakies :-) I LOVE flakies and the FP ones are great. AND they look FANTASTIC when you use all five at once... flakiegasm!
ReplyDeletehahaha love it! I haven't used all of them together yet, but I plan on it!
DeleteGorgeous!!! I LOVE flakies - I don't have all the FP ones though, only three of them. I hadn't thought to layer them... now I know what I'm doing with my next empty nail wheel LOL
ReplyDeletehaha! So much fun! Flakies are the best :)
DeleteI have twisted from that collection, I love flakes!! So pretty!
ReplyDeletethey are my favourite!
DeleteI love flakies! x
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!!!! love flakies...I only own Shine of the Times Essie and am in desperate need for more. I can't find the Finger Paints ones anywhere!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! The FP ones are basically gone, they were LE so unless you go to evilbay you probably won't find any, but some other brands have some similar ones!
DeleteThis is gorgeous! I've never thought of using a different flakie for an accent nail!
ReplyDeleteThank youuu! :D I loved the look of it :)
DeleteWhy thank youuu :)
ReplyDeleteFlakies stole my heart as well! I have both of these (and more) and I love them! I put them over all colors!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! :)
DeleteDid you buy the flakies online or in-store?
ReplyDeleteI actually was lucky and a friend from Florida had managed to get some extras sent me them! You can still get some on eBay I believe and other brands will hopefully come out with more!
