Matte Top coats and Flakies

Today I have a post using a matte top coat. I've seen these around and been dying to try one but never got around to getting one. I got a matte top coat by NYC in my Halloween swap. This is the first time of trying it out. I used Barry M Retro blue, it is truly a magnificent blue and added my Nail Pop Sequin Effect. 

Barry M Retro Blue is opaque in one good coat and application is a breeze. 

Nail Pop Sequin Effect I added two coats. 

I absolutly loved the effect of the flakie once I applied the matte top coat, it's beautiful.

China Glaze Stella + Look Beauty Nail Pop Sequin Effect

Back with another Look Beauty Nail Pop - Sequin effect mani. I loved the red so much I want to experiment with some of my other polishes and one that came to mind is my much loved China Glaze Stella. I adore this majestic purple, it quickly became a favourite of my stash. 

This is 2 coats of the lovely Stella and 2 coats of Nail Pop Sequin effect. It is a very pretty combination but admittedly not as loved as my Barry M Retro Red, that was more electric. 

I'll be experimenting this Sequin top coat a lot more over the coming weeks, it should go quite well with some of my stash.

Barry M Retro Red + Look Beauty Sequin Effect

Today I have this really pretty nail duo, Barry M Retro Red, it's a perfect red. Glides on like butter and is almost opaque in one coat, I always give it two just to even it out. Teamed up with Look Beauty Nail Pop Sequin effect. Packed with pretty gold flakies that shimmer green the right way. 

I added two coats over retro red. It makes such a mesmerising effect, red + flakies = Heaven. :3 

Kind of reminds of a Chinese dress. At least one that I sewed together way back when I did textiles at school which was red and gold lol

Look Beauty Nail Pop is £5 at Superdrugs. I actually got this a while back when it was on offer for £3, picked up Pearl effect as well and had never used either. Will be testing these out some more lately. 

Enjoy! x
