Metal Wire Flakies

Hey all, looks like it's going to be a hot-ish day today! Typical when I'm not feeling so great.
So first the were nail pigments, then glitter flakies well now I have 2 Metal Wire Flakies.
The first colour I'm wearing today is green! Yes totally out of my comfort zone but get why not push yourself to try something new! #42714 comes in 7 different colours.
The pot is filled and seal protected, it also comes with a sponge tipped applicator. My nails were painted with a black base, then a layer of my tacky polish. I went for 2 different looks with this. On my ring finger I only applied a few strands and made sure they laid flat. On all other nails I burnished the strands onto my nails. Here's the finished look before top coat.

I agree maybe not a smooth a finish as if this was used with gel, but I'm super happy with this look. In person it was stunning even for a colour I don't normally wear! Then I applied my water based topcoat, and not sure if it took some of the effect away!
I admit I was dubious when I opened the pot. On first seeing these wire flakes you wouldn't think they would look so nice. With the other shade I have I'll do a video tutorial.
For this or any other items over on the Born Pretty Store website, please don't forget to use my discount code BABX31.

Stay safe and much love.....
