Coastal Scents: Cosmic

Hello Lacquer Luvers! Today I have another flakie to share with you all. This one is called  Cosmic & it's one of 27 from Coastal Scents new COAT Collection. Cosmic is the only flakie in their line that also includes neutrals, creams, shimmers, & metallics.

For my mani, I started off with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy and two coats of Ebony Hates Chris from WetNWild, which is my go-to black cream for layering. Once that dried, I layered on one coat of Coastal Scents Cosmic followed by Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.

As you can see here, they are small at 0.2oz but for a $3.95 flakie I think that's very reasonable. The bottles are petite and round and I found that the stem of the brush was a bit short but I didn't have a problem with application.

Cosmic is a black creme full iridescent flakies that are predominantly green once applied on the nail. The green shifts to a nice amber depending on the angle of light reaching it.

I hope you all enjoyed this post and I look forward to sharing more with you tomorrow, xo!

My 1st Blog Post

Hello everyone! I have been wanting to create my nail blog for so long and I figured why not start it today =) 11/11/11 is being celebrated by many as a day of good luck & it is my deepest wish to have the best of it with my blog. I know that green is the color of many things, besides one of my favorite colors, it has been known to symbolize nature, envy, calm & good luck. And, so I've decided to use the most amazing green in my collection, Nfu-oh 56, to help me debut my blog & spread some good luck cheer with you all, my fellow Lacquer Luvers!

Nfu-Oh 56 is the most amazing green flakie, I just can't stop staring at it! And look at how cute the bottle is, I really like their corset shape, it's so unique & feminine! I would describe this flakie as a green sheer polish full of emerald green micro glitter and green flakes. Depending on the angle, this has a flash of blue in it and it is so pretty!

For this mani, I started with a base of Milani Smoothe Base Coat followed by one coat of WetNWild's Ebony Hates Chris because I thought a black base would just make it all pop. I layered one coat of Nfu-Oh 56 over that & topped it off with top coat from Color Club.

I loved this polish so much that I thought I would make a ring using it, and I absolutely adore this! It's so pretty and sparkly! All of the green in this shot is amazing =)

Here you can see a flash of the blue in the ring, it's gorgeous!

So there you have it Lacquer Luvers, I hope you all enjoyed my 1st post & I look forward to sharing more with you! Don't forget to make your good luck wishes at 11:11 today <3
