The first one I'm going to show you is another polish by Cult Nails called Iconic. This is the second CN polish I've used, and I LOVE it! Iconic is a deep red with flakies! Application was wonderful and I used two coats.
I'm not sure what was wrong with me the day I decided to wear this, but I ended up doing lots of different layers, and came up with some crazy combos. The first couple are mild. LOL!
I topped Iconic off with Colorama Shimmer Girl, which is one awesome flakie.
Then I decided to matte it using Essie Matte About You.
Here's where it starts to get a bit crazy. For some reason I decided to add Black Shatter to it all. Wasn't very thrilled with it.
Since I wasn't too crazy about it, I decided to add yet another coat of the Colorama Shimmer Girl polish.
Close up's
And then finally, I added yet one more coat of Essie Matte About You to finish my crazy mani. off!
If you made it all the way through this, I think you deserve a cupcake! Ha, Ha! ;-)
Thanks for looking, and I hope you all have a wonderful Mon!
mmm cupcakes. I love all that crazy layering! It looks like flakes of fish food all layered on top of each other in the last picture lol
