In lieu of this marvelous fact, I decided it was time to crack out some summer colors and paint my nailses to reflect the joy and happiness that I am feeling...
Cue Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze and Chloe by Zoya!!
I used this combination on my toes this weekend, and I realized that it was a P-E-R-F-E-C-T union.
With the neon-esque quality of Flip Flop Fantasy, Chloe's flakiness isn't overt or obnoxious. In fact, it's not even that obvious until it catches the light just right - and then your nails flash into a green, gold, peach, and orange explosion of flakie-goodness.
3 coats of Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze.
2 coats of Chloe by Zoya.
1 coat of Sally Hansen Mega Shine Extended Wear Top Coat.

| It was so hard to capture color accurate photos, as well as ones that really showed the beautiful finish that Chloe gives to this mani. |
The fantastic thing is that the flakies really even out the texture of Flip Flop Fantasy, so you don't require as many coats, and everything looks flawless in the end.
It's definitely one of the things that's making my Monday that much better :)
What's your Monday mani lookin' like!?

OMG, loving this combo! Even the ChG polish on its own would be beautiful! I'm really feeling springy neons right now, can you tell?
ReplyDeleteI've gotta get my butt out and vote when I get home tonight...have to figure out the lesser of all the evils by then :-\
HAHA! I know, right!? I'm hoping that the flakie coats will keep the ChG from chipping like a demon so I can wear it for a couple of days haha. I guess we'll see how this holds up.
DeleteAnd I know, right? The hubby and I are going after he gets home from work, and I just looked at everyone's platforms and feel more confused than I did before... gar.
LOVING the combo!! And I am a dorkus-guess what I made for supper on such a warm spring day? CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER. I am sweating over here...
ReplyDeleteLol, wow, Tracy. Way to enjoy the warm weather... with frickin' soup. Haha. But I guess that I was a dummy too - I should've taken some chicken out to do on the BBQ and I forgot... so I needed to turn the oven on to 425 to cook up some chicken strips for salad... oh my. :)
DeleteWow I really love this combo!! I'm definitely going to have to copy this one soon =)
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm wearing a new Illamasqua polish I picked up recently, I don't remember what it's called but it's a "Kelly" green color.
xx
Send me a picture if you try it out!! I'd love to see!!
DeleteAnd oh my gosh! I'm DYING to try Illamasqua polishes - they finally got them at my Sephora, so as soon as I can foot the hefty price tag, I will get one. Do you think they're worth it!?! Are they as amazing as everyone says!? :)
Lovely nails!! I just discovered your blog and I am definitely a new follower (: Keep up the great posting!
