This pot of flakies came with an eye shadow applicator
We need to open this container and get a closer look!!
These look amazing! Let's get them on some polish! :)
I was curious to see how these would look over different colors. I started out with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Cinna-snap on my index finger, Sinful Colors SinfulShine Most Sinful on my middle finger, Sinful Colors Go Go Boots on my ring finger, and Wet n Wild Black Creme on my pinkie. I topped these off with Seche Vite. Here's how it looks so far:
Next, when I knew everything was dry all the way through, doing one nail at a time, I applied a No Wipe Top Coat to each nail and cured it. Once cured, I decided to use my silicone brush instead of the eye shadow applicator. I got mine on eBay, but you can find a similar one on BornPretty Store's website, here. Mine is like style #3. I picked up a tiny bit of flakes at a time, and gently patted them on my nails, being careful to not leave big spaces empty, as well as not get the flakes too hick in other places. Once all my nails were done, I made sure the flakies didn't have any edges sticking up, and sealed them in with one more coat of gel top coat. Here they are:

Nothing was jumping out at me like those flakies over black! Let's do it! I painted all my nails with Wet n Wild Black Creme and topped them off with Seche Vite. Once dry, one nail at a time, I did the same steps as above and applied the flakies to my nails. On my ring finger, I put them on thicker, so they had full coverage and no black spaces in between. Here they are at this point:
Inside, under my OttLite
Look at that color shift!!!
Here they are again, inside under the OttLite
Outside, in the shade
A slightly different angle, outside in the shade
Both of these macros were also outside in the shade
The shift these flakies give is absolutely amazing! I decided to add a simple stamp to my ring finger, to finish it off. Personally, I think I like these without the stamp better. I used plate BPL-024 from BornPrettyStore, found here. I stamped with Mundo de Unas Black and sealed it in with one last coat of gel top coat. Here is the final look:

And last but not least, the macro under my OttLite
Overall, I am in love with these flakies! If you love flakies, you will definitely love this! The shift is very intense, which makes them absolutely beautiful!
