Road House Flash

Tomorrow I will be showing some of the project I've been working on in the office to the boss. I didn't want to have overly obnoxious colors for that, so I used a pretty navy and a little bit of fleck.


The navy is Road House Blues (OPI). The flakies came from Flashy (Finger Paints. For a little difference, I used a matte top coat from NYC. Simple Simon!

  6. I love this! I have a question... (I have never tried matte polish.) does an actual matte polish and a regular polish with a matte top coat, end result actually look the same???? this would be a cool comparison!

    1. Awesome question! Unfortunately, I'm the wrong one to ask. I don't actually own any matte polishes, just matte top coats. I imagine that is the case though. Just as I assume applying a shiny top coat to a matte polish would make it appear as if it were shiny in the first place.

    1. It was a limited edition flakie from Finger Paints. It's no longer available sadly.

  8. Wow, I'm loving this. I think I need a matte topcoat in my collection. I do have Chloe from ZOYA, so that would go good over a navy that I do have.. Thanks for the idea :)
