Flakie Week: LA Girls Rock Star - Crowd Surfing

Happy Monday guys and gals it's the start of Flakie week so let me say that I know many people either love or HATE flakies but Im in the love camp so Im featuring them for a whole week, but for those of you that hate them next week I'll be back to non flakie goodness and I would love to hear what you DO love so that I may feature it too :)

Now all disclaimers aside ha ha Here we go..
Today's flakie is LA Girls Rock Star in the shade Crowd Surfing , I layered it over the top of a beautiful Nina Pro polish Called Never Glum Plum, its a creamy plum grey..Here are the bottles side by side.


The LA Girl Flakie is a light green jelly base full of green shimmer and orange/gold flakes. Here is it over the Nina Pro Never Glum Plum in direct sunlight.
Here it is in shade in its full glory..

Look at all that flakie goodness..This is two coats layered but one would have been good for a slightly more subtle effect.
As you can see the green base and shimmer really take over and so this is one that could be great on its own in 3 coats or so.
In the sun it really shimmers and sparkles due to the green shimmers..So this is like most flakies a polish of many faces.. I love it because its the mix of my love of Green and my love of flakies..
So do ya love it? or is it a fist full of ugly? lol
That's all for today, see ya tomorrow with another flakie beauty thanks for reading -ilectra

And if you're a Diva

Just a quickie to show the new OPI Diva from Geneva from the Swiss Collection as promised. This polish is a lil like magic.
I did my nails at night and in my room light i was a lil sad to see it on cause it just looked like a million other burgundy polishes I had seen, nothing special.. I captured that color below.


But to my joy and surprise when I went out, it turned a beautiful plum color, that has a mild almost duo chrome effect.. Below without flash.

This was 2 coats, its super opaque and has a lovely shimmer/sheen as you can see below.
After taking these pics I also noticed that this polish also from the right angle picks up an amber tone, in my bathroom it looked like a beautiful warm amber.. so to sum up, This is NOT my normal fair as far as polish goes, Im not huge into reds or burgundies but I do love purple soo this is a total must have. you have to see it on in person to really see just how wonderful this color is.
