Sometimes I just don't get me :)) I wanted this polish sooo bad and I didn't even wore it once since I got it back in December. I don't know why, because it's AWESOME!
Attention!
Picture Spam ahead :P
This is one coat of Essence Waking Up in Vegas over 1 coat of Avon Wicked. Wicked is actually a very dark red polish with shimmer, which inspired me to top it of with the flakies. :)
The Essence flakies are very dense and I had to be careful to apply just a thin coat, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see the polish underneath :) I also had to add a little bit of thinner to it, because it was a bit thick.
The following pictures show you the color change from green to red:
Wow!! I have no words for this :P Most of the time the flakies look like on the picture above, mostly red and orange but in daylight they look amazing! Look:
The last picture kinda reminds me of Jamaica, cause of the red, yellow and green :D
This is my very first flakie polish and I'm glad I stressed out my mom to get me this beauty. I think she went to every store in the city to find it and eventually she did. Thank you so much mom!! :))
Do you like flakies? Which ones are a must-have? :)
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
This polish really is amazing. You've capture him very well. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think I took over 30 pictures, it was so hard selecting only 6 for the post :D
DeleteGorgeous! I am crazy about flakie polishes too, but I haven't even done full manis of the flakies I own. There's something wrong with me, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You have to do a full mani ! :D But there's nothing wrong with you, we have just have too many polishes :D
DeleteI love this Polish!

It looks gorgeous over purple too ;)
DeleteAAww i was SO on a hunt for this... but I couldn't find it anywhere :((
ReplyDeleteEither the SA didn't even know what I was talking about "what? trend edition?? I think we don't have it yet...." Or it was already sold out.
I think I have to go with Essies Shine of the Times instead...
Great layering!!
Thank you! Yeah my mom, who was on the hunt for me, mentioned that it was really difficult getting this one. :P
