Deep Sea Flakies

Happy Saturday! I'm writing this on Thursday, but by the time this is posted, hopefully we'll all be having a great weekend. I did this manicure about a month ago and am just now getting around to posting it. At the time, I was going through one of those phases where you wear the same sort of polish for about five manicures, and at the time, I was in a dark polish phase. One of the manicures I wore during that phase was Essence Just Rock It layered with one coat each of FingerPaints Flecked and FingerPaints Motley. This was one of the first manicures I did with Flecked and Motley, and I have to say, I think it turned out quite well.

Now this is why I love flakies. The shifting colors of greenish, bluish, and purplish flakies mixed together over a dark blue creme? Gorgeous. I really need to do some more complicated layering soon - it's so much fun! I just haven't had much time or motivation to do more complex nail designs lately, though I enjoy it when I do. Maybe once midterms are over I'll have more time...or, more likely, I'll be even busier. Oh well - I can't complain! I'm having fun, and I hope you all are too. Until next time!
