Here are some rather self-indulgent shots of my nails bejewelled with
GOSH's Rainbow polish (£5 in the UK from Superdrug). It's a top-coat/layering polish containing a phenomenon known to the blogging community as "flakies". Despite the unaappealingly dandruff-tastic name, these are a fine alternative to the more old-school glitter polish - the are little shreds or "flakes" of reflective material that lie flat on the nail and provide an eyecatching multi-faceted appearance with a smooth finish.
Rainbow is shown here over the top of lovely lovely
Burlington Arcade from Nails Inc. Mesmerising, even if I do say so myself. Click the pictures for a giant-size image to pore over (and try not to judge my cuticles too harshly).

I adore this, and had to buy a back-up bottle. It looks stunning over white as well.
ReplyDeleteWell why did I buy this for my giveaway but not for me? doh.
ReplyDeleteI can see it becoming a staple for me - I'm looking forward to putting it over anything and everything. Thanks for the tip (and your very inspiring posts)!
ReplyDeleteDo the 'flakies' (love it, had to use it, used it, feel good about it) have a colour to them? Or are they just metallic?
ReplyDelete@Charlie - go out and get a bottle. Now. Quick. Nobody else must even think about parting you from it.
ReplyDelete@La they're... my favourite thing ever... DUOCHROME. Greeny-pinky-goldy coloured. Translucent. Beautiful. This polish is definitely worth staying awake with your hands stuck out over the covers for.
I'm going to town tomorrow so I'll have to!
ReplyDeleteMe likey. You just love throwing in those references to stuff I said t'other night you minx! I remember that one! Will be buying this thank you please.
ReplyDeleteI must must must have this!
ReplyDeleteMy prize arrived today, thank you so much! Also i've finished the elasticizer so i'm going to write my review soon :)
LOL I never thought about how the name 'flakies' sounds like it's dandruff-related. I do love me some flakies though :)
ReplyDelete@La I do, yes :) Har.
ReplyDelete@Lillian great, glad you got it - I was half expecting a Royal Fail postal disaster (hardly an unusual occurrence). Do get this, it's a fantastic product.
@SilhouetteScreams they're ace! I'm only just starting to discover them. I really want to try some Nfu-Oh polishes with them in.
