Collection 2000 - Bongo Beat, Flakies, Black Stamping In Matte

Quick post today of something I did a couple weeks back. Such a lovely combo! And I love loved these matte :D

I started with one coat of Collection 2000 - Bongo Beat, and added one coat of Golden Rose - Scale Effects 13, and stamped with two images from the second Bundle Monster set in BYS - Black Satin before adding a top coat, and then a matte top coat.

And a picture of the base colour & flakie combo for good measure :]

 

What do you guys think of these? Hope everyone's having a good Tueday :]

Swatch - Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Bongo Beat

I bought this polish probably back in June, and just wasn't really feeling turquoise until recently. The formula on this beauty is great compared to the goop of Mint Mojo, It's much thinner (you can slightly see my nail line) but it dries so quickly it doesn't really matter. For these pics I managed to get some dust, or cotton wool fluff stuck in between layers, so ignore that. Down side of this polish is that there are quite a lot of visible brush strokes, but that honestly could just be my sloppy appliction. In a way the brightness, and shininess of this makes it almost appear like a chrome, so i'm looking forward to stamping over this at some point :] Or using it for sponging some gradient tips, that could be pretty.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: - Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Bongo Beat (3 thin coats)

See what I mean about the stuff I got stuck in it :(

I honestly could have gotten away with only two coats, but I think I have a ridge or bump where my nails grow past the nail bed, so I did three in attempt to disguise that, as this polish clings to flaws in the nails. Such a great colour though! And pics are without cleanup :]
