My week in NOTDs: China Glaze It's Alive & Finger Paints Twisted

Sorry for my lack of posts this week but I wasn't fully satisfied with either of my NOTDs. I also went naked the beginning of the week. I think it was the stress of starting my second week at my new job and beginning my classes.

Ever since I got FP Twisted I wanted to wear it with black and red so I killed 2 birds with one stone and did an alternating mani. I used Wet n' Wild's Black Creme and China Glaze Winter Berry, then topped it off with 2 coats of FP Twisted

THEEEN I put on this beautiful green glitter that I skipped out on when it first came out. This is one of China Glaze's polished from their halloween collection - It's Alive. I had been wanting it and luckily found it at a local beauty supply shop on clearance and only just got to wearing it. The formula of this was a little lumpy for me but it's probably just because it's a bit old and could have used some thinner before I applied it.

That was my quick wrap up for the week. I am off to the shelter, hopefully adopting a dog very soon!

Finger Paints Special Effect Twisted

My first nail polish purchase of the year was Finger Paints Twisted!

It was the only one I bought from the collection because I could live without the others haha.

I am really trying to save because this years Spring collections look amazing. Between ChG's Hunger Games, OPI's Holland, and Zoya's True and Fleck Collection my collection is going to grow significantly! And I hate to say this but I feel flakies are going to fade out just like the crack did when every brand started to create their own.

Anyway I am going to enjoy my flakies while I still can! This is Twisted over OPI's Funky Donkey. For some reason I have trouble capturing the greatness of flakies, even out in the sun.

These are the best images I could get of it.

Twisted was the most interesting to me IMO. It has multiple flecks in it, blues, greens, red, orange. It's just beautiful. I wanted to be different and stay away from applying it over black but I do realize now I need to apply it over a much deeper shade in order for all of the pretty colors to show through.

Did you purchase any of the flakies!?

Thanks for looking <3
