| Finger Paints - Twisted over dark base |
Black? I'm not sure what this base color was, but it sure does make the flakies stand out.
Revlon - Blue Lagoon w/ Nubar 2010
Revlon - Blue Lagoon is difficult to work with. It is dry, chalky and a bit gritty, but a very bright baby blue. I loved Nubar 2010 on top.
Revlon - Modern Grace with Nubar 2010
OPI - Funny Bunny with Finger Paints - Asylum.
This combination looked great at most angles, like shown. Other angles made the sheer white (my love) look pitted, but nowhere near what I am about to show you in the next set of photos.
China Glaze - Summer Rain
You either like these kinds of polishes or you don't. Personally, I don't mind that it is sheer or that it is slightly frosty. I do mind that it makes my skin color look like poo poo.
It gets worse though...
I decided to top this off with a flakie. Never again.
At some angles it looks nice.
Most angles it looks like this...
A true monstrosity. Just EWWWW. I must have set a world record for fastest nail polish removal.
Have you ever made a seriously fuggly nail polish combination?
Mwahahaha! I've got a flakie on right now, so I'm totally feeling you on this! The other examples are lovely though.
ReplyDeletelololol that last one made me laugh
ReplyDeleteSnerk! I just laughed out loud at your description of Summer Rain. >_<
ReplyDeleteAnd ooh, I clearly, desperately need Twisted in my life. What a beautiful, beautiful flakie!! If you don't mind, I'm just gonna scroll back up and drool a little more...
lol lol, they are all very lovely.. but that last one kinda looks like diseased nails :P
ReplyDeleteI like it over most of the combinations, except the pink, that doesn't look nice. I prefer my flakies over dark polishes they look their best then. Modern grace and Blues clue look like very gorgeous blues
ReplyDeleteHAHAH! It isn't as bad as a monstrosity, but close!
ReplyDeleteLOL! they look awesome!
I know usually flakes look great on black bases but I didn't expected to like so much the white based layering: gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAs per Summer Rain...Sheer and frosty combo is a no-no for me :-)
I love flakies with blue! Your posts always leave me smiling/laughing!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!! O My you have it nailed...Fugly! I do love it over Revlon Modern Grace--WOW! My favorite flakie combo is FP Asylum over yellow cremes. I love them mattified like you did....(mostly) Lovely manis!
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate when you picture one vision in your head, but when executed it's not even close? :)
ReplyDeleteI read your title and thought, "I bet it's not that bad. Loodie's nails make everything look great!"... But wow, that last one.. LOL. The rest, esp the blues look awesome on you!!
ReplyDeleteShane
I love dark blues with flakies. I just did a manicure like that for my sister today :)
ReplyDeleteThe last one was bad. Im too impatient to deal with frosty polishes, but love how they look on other people. One of my favorite flakie combos was Twisted over Orly Sweet Peacock. My son said it looked like fish food lol.
ReplyDeleteI love your light blue flakie nails!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I have done several fugly nail combos but I am way too lazy to remove it and start over-so I wear it for the three days I always wear my manis, just in horror the whole time. I must agree that last pink was most awful!
ReplyDeleteNubar 2010 over Barielle Aura Angora yuck!
ReplyDeleteYou should have posted a warning on that last one...MY EYES!!!! LOLOLOL!! Ok, so it's not as pretty as the rest -- and? You're entitled to make a few wrong colour choices, no?! I'm trying to think of a particular colour that really made the bile rise, but I don't know if there was anything -- either that, or I've mentally blocked it out! Love all your other versions, though!
ReplyDeletehahahah oh my god that last one! you're so funny. it reminds me of burnt flesh *puke* lol
ReplyDeleteOk yea, wow...that's pretty much the ugliest nail polish look I've ever seen, YIKES. The sadist in me loves that you showed it though ;P
ReplyDeleteModern Grace with Nubar 2010 looks a whole lot like that new Deb Lippmann flakie out now...
i love them there beautiful and look perfect
ReplyDeleteHi, love!

Loodie, that last mani is pretty hideous!!! What were you thinking? :-D
ReplyDeleteI use OPI's Funny Bunny for my tips when I do French Mani. I don't like a true white. This is much softer. I use 2 coats on the tips.
