Sorry for the extended silence, but getting up to speed at my new second job is kicking me in the posterior. Typing for several hours isn't really the best precursor to coming home and typing up blog posts. I'm building up my stamina though!
I'm having to fight the urge to title all of my posts Fall Something because that's pretty much all I'm interested in right now. We've had some gorgeous fall weather for the last couple of weeks. Today's all grey and rainy, but I'm hoping we'll get back to blue skies and crispy air soon. This mani was inspired by the drifting fall leaves!
The base color is
Maybelline Coloroma Cocoa Motion, which is a purplish-reddish-brown shimmer. It wasn't impressive in the bottle, but on the nail, I almost didn't want to put anything over it. The formula was a little thin and wanted to run away, but it was opaque in two coats and looked great.

Cocoa Motion, I'm wearing
Maybelline Coloroma Sonic Sunset. This polish has a very sheer orange base with flakes that shift colors from red and orange to yellow and green. The base is sheer enough that it didn't have a lot of impact on this dark base color. I've long had my eye on some of the harder to get and more expensive flakies, and while there are some of those I'd still love to get my hands on, for $0.33 this is a great substitute.
Where did you get that flakie? I am desperate to find some affordable ones.
ReplyDeleteAll of my Maybelline Coloramas, including the flakies, came from the Dollar Tree in packs of three for $1. Since it's a discount store, it's hit or miss as to what they have, but I know they've had these more than once.
