I haven’t done up any flakies or matte manicures for a while, which is a shame because flakies and matte polishes is one of my favourite nail polish trends! This is two coats of OPI Diva of Geneva and one coat of Essie Shine of the Times followed by a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic.
I love how Shine of the Time shifts from orange to gold to green. And while I do enjoy these types of flakies over black polishes, reds and burgundys really seem to make the colour shift pop more. The dulling effect of the matte polish makes the flakies stand out even more– it lightens the polish and then BAM! It’s like a bonfire on my nails!
What are your favourite polishes to top with flakies? What are some of your favourite ways to wear matte polish?
Ooooooh. This is all kinds of gorgeous, Lindsey!
Very nice combination! I rarely seem to think to mattify things, though heaven knows I have enough matte top coats.
O-M-G! Totally in love with this combination, have to try this asap
