11. Untried

11 Pick a colour you’ve never worn (I’m hoping I’m not the only one with untrieds) lol

You may remember a post quite a while ago about a flakie I bought and how excited I was about finding one in my country.  If not you can see that post here.

When I saw that this number was untrieds I new exactly which bottle to reach for.

I applied Rimmel base coat, one coat of Sally Hansen's Beaming, one coat of Nail Pop's Sequin Effect and 2true top coat.

I was very impressed by the coverage from Beaming. It looks like a really thin polish on the brush but on the nail it's practically opaque in one coat, and since I was putting a flakie on top I didn't bother with two coats because I didn't feel like it was needed.

Here is Beaming on it's own.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sequin Effect.  The flakies are so perfectly golden with the red base but in the bottle the can look blue-ish so I have a feeling it depends on what the base is what colours come through in the flakes.

Again this was only one coat, it had such great flakie coverage.  Over all I am thrilled with both of these polishes.

Thanks for reading!

Flakie

I went shopping today and decided to have a look at Superdrug’s make up ranges for nail polishes. I do this everytime I’m there, hoping there is something new and exciting.

And this time there was!

Look magazine has brought out there own beauty range and what was sitting in the nail polish section?!

Two flakies, thats what!

I was so excited! In Scotland, flakies aren’t exactly common, I’ve only managed to get my hands on one and its in a purpley polish, not ideal for using over different colours :(

But these were perfect! So I scooped up Sequin Effect, which is a lovely warm goldeny one, and marched off to the till with it. I’m gonna have so much fun!

I also got a bottle of Sally Hansen Beaming for 33 pence but thats not nearly as exciting.

I'll be posting pictures at some point in the future :)
