My Flakie Collection Swatched, Golden Rose Scale Effects & Nubar 2010

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a good Thursday!

Today we have some swatches of my flakie collection, just because I love flakies and I want to share pretty pictures! Four of these came to me via Ingie over at fyeahilovenails when I won her giveaway, even though there was only one flakie up for grabs; she sent me four cause she's a sweetheart like that!

These are all just one coat over black and white.
1) Golden Rose Scale Effects - 13
2) Golden Rose Scale Effects - 04
3) Golden Rose Scale Effects - 03
4) Golden Rose Scale Effects - 02
5) Nubar - 2010 - G188

 Firstly, just one coat of flakie magic, no top coat

This is the flakie polish I chose to receive from Ingie as I've always wanted a blue/green flakie. Such a beauty!

Next up with top coat. I think it was a W7 top coat but I can't remember.

 It's much harder to see the flakies over white in general, but is easier to see in the shade.

And last but not least the Matte versions, using Rimmel - Matte Finish

 You can see here that number 3 has gives a slight orange tint to the white base.

So which is your favourite out of the bunch? Mine is still number 2 (Golden Rose Scale Effects - 04).

Matte & Gloss Fishnet

Another quick Mani for work, not a massive fan of it. But it was fun to wear for a couple of days :] And my boyfriend said it reminded him of black Spider-man / Venom. I kinda see it, but it's not my first reaction.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Miss Sporty - Charcoal
Matte Coat: Rimmel Pro - Matte Finish
Stamp Colour: BYS - Fools Paradise
Plate: BM209
Nail Art Pen: Black

I used the Bundle Monster plate as a guideline so my lines would be marginally straighter than free hand. I really need to thin my black nail art pen though it kept coming out goopy :(

Matte Purple & Gloss Funky French

I recently needed to do some simple nails for a meeting I had with HR, which I thought was going to be quite formal. So I did a Lucky Dip, and picked out a colour i haven't used in at least 6 months. And I really don't use my matte top coat enough; or even experiement with it. :]

 I decided to add a gloss tip quickly - only one thin coat.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: George - Hoax (two coats)
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat
Matte Coat: Rimmel - Matte Finish

& Then Some More Top Coat On The Tips.
