Bourjois Holo Glitter

Unfortunately I'm not sure of the name of this polish, I think it must have been discontinued as I can't find it online anywhere.  I know I picked it up for cheap ages ago so it might have been an end of line sale before it was taken off the market.
 
 
These pictures are two coats of the Bourjois glitter polish over Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Dragon Fruit.  As you can see the glitter is in a very sheer base polish so it needs a little colour under it.

 
It's so hard to take a good photo of, in artificial light the glitter is so holographic and glows and colour shifts beautifully, unfortunately it just doesn't show up in the photographs.

Flakie Overload

I decided to copy a look I'd seen online today, which was layering several of my flakies over a black base, here's what I used:

So Laque by Bourjois, number 17, Noie de Chine (2 coats)
Nfu Oh, number 50 (1 coat)
Nubar, 2010 (1 coat)
Nfu Oh, number 39 (1 coat)
Another coat of Nubar 2010
Sally Hansen Insta Dri top coat



And here are the results:







The pictures aren't great but they give an idea of the gorgeous foily jewel look created by layering the flakies. I think next time I might just go for two coats of flakies as the lower ones barely show in the finished look and it will take an age to dry this many layers properly.
