I'm not really in love with them - blasphemy I know! ;) But I think they're the same kind of flakies ILNP uses as well. Also, at least Pshiiit used them over a coloured base.

Lacquerista problems, I couldnt decide which of the Essie spring polishes I wanted to put on so I put them all on lol. I was loosely inspired by flower petals!

Ooh very pretty! Is it free hand or with vinyls?

I'll be back later with my newest mani,

New mani is Girly Bits Get Weaponized and Lilypad Lacquer Ooh Shiny (love that name, reminds me of the minions
girlhaha.gif
). They both have glitter very hard to see in the picture, Get Weaponized has pink and blue glitter and Ooh Shiny has silver glitter/flakes.

I don't think they're like the ILNP flakies, those seem to be larger and more defined in colour. Iparallex said so too on her blog, these are much smaller and the colours are mixed. I think they're more like the Indigo Bananas, EdM, Takko flakies. But to be fair, there are so many flakies around now, I think she might find it hard to sell them at her prices (I reckon these will be $17), but then again, some people will buy anything with the EP logo on.


I'm not even going to look. Already ordered 4 polishes from MeiMei and placed 2 orders with Rainbow Connection yesterday.


Very pretty.


I wanted to hate them too, hahaha!

I like all of those shades!
I'm not with my stash atm so it's a bit difficult to remember. But I like all ugly browns (and yellows and greens) like the YSL spring 2014 ones, rich browns like CbL Gingerbread Man (possibly wearing soon). I also liked Cocktails & Coconuts from Essie Resort 2014 for a lighter brown.
lol @ "ugly browns"

Current mani: EP March 2014 and ILNP Electric Carnival stamped with Pueen plate no. 93. I saw this idea somewhere on the internet (can't remember whose it was now) and it's so pretty. The flakies alone just didn't look right with the green polish, but this works.





I used my Creative Shop stamper for this and it's so good. It's big and very squishy, so it covers every bit of the nail really easily. I also used the liquid palisade which is great as you can just peel off the polish you stamp outside of the nail. Forgot to say that I also used it with my last mani, but found it doesn't work as well with vinyls, it kept pulling some of the polish off. But definitely great for stamping. And when I eventually get around to trying watermarbling...

Hi everyone, Relatively new to Specktra and very new to this thread. I am Sandra and I am a nail polis addict. My inventory list counts 179 polishes (not every polish I have is on it though). Brands are OPI, Koh, Essie, Nails Inc, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Guerlain, Yves Rocher, ... However, I am 35 and feel that I am too old for a lot of glitter and nailart, so my nail polishes and manis are way more boring than what I have seen here. Also, I have the bad habit to pick at my cuticles, so I doubt I will post any mani pictures soon :) I am currently waiting for a Nails Inc order through Beautybay, and am about to order some OPI Hawaii ones.

Hi Sandra and welcome to the thread!

You're not too old at all, I'm older than you and I don't think I'm too old for glitter and nail art. I don't think there is such thing as being too old in fact.

Pretty! That's a really nice idea to use flakies under the stamping to enhance it.

I was considering counting my nailpolishes to do some type of NP inventory today but Im not certain it's such a great idea... Lol. Should I live in denial or bite the bullet? HALP!
