Last night I was having a look through my 'Pile Of Crap' when I came across a few things I cant even remember buying. It was like going shopping without having to part with any cash. The first thing I spotted was a nail polish that I've obviously used a few times before, I have no recollection of this by the way but I must have done judging by how much product is missing.
GOSH Rainbow is one of those iridescent flakey polishes with a clear base. Rainbow has such a different look depending on what colour you layer it over. At the minute I'm still in a loving relationship with L'Oreals Color Riche Opera Ballerina so thats what I used as a base. With one coat of Rainbow over the top I ended up with an effect that reminds me of looking into an opal, its so soft and glowy, kinda reminds me of fairy wings too. :]
I prefer to layer flakies over light nail polishes, I like the colours that come through compared to when you layer it over a dark. I'm not sure if GOSH still make this beauty but I do know a lot of other brands have their own versions.
Isnt it pretty? :)
This is lovely! I prefer flakies over darker polish hah x
ReplyDeleteThe colours are more vibrant over darks but I'm going through a 'less is more' phase at the mo, doubt it'll last long though. lol

SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! Everyone tends tu put flakie polish over dark polish but I absolutely love your take on it :) xx
ReplyDeleteI find flakies to be too orange once layered over darks and I really dont suit orange nails.

I have had this a couple of years, it's gone gloopy now but I don't want to part with it....Love the colour you've layered it on top of. Looks so stunning xxx
ReplyDeleteAdd a few drops of nail polish thinner if you have any or just a tiny bit of remover, should do the trick.
