My current manicure is a rosy pink with gold flakes. I had originally gone for a dark grey with a shimmer coat, but looking at it, I found that I really wanted something a lot lighter. I actually found myself craving some sort of pastel green, purple, blue or pink cream, but I found I didn't really have any of those. I picked up a couple at the drug store yesterday, so I'll try one out soon.
In the meantime, I settled for this pink. I used Maybelline Wet Shine in Wine Shine, an old polish that I've had forever, and it was ready to be trashed. I don't even remember the last time it was opened. The brush was losing hairs everywhere, and the polish was thick and goopy. Luckily it only took one coat to fully cover. I topped it with one coat of Wet n Wild fastdry in The Gold & The Beautiful. This glitter polish is really dense, and I didn't know if I liked it when I first put it on. After topping it with a coat of Essie Matte About You, I was pleased with the results.
The polishes in their bottles:
I LOVE the Matte About You top coat. I love experimenting with matte polishes, and being able to turn any of my polishes into a matte is so much fun!
Here's a close up shot of the polish - you can see that even though the gold looks like glitter in the bottle, it's actually really flakey.
