This is what I have on my nails right now. It's just a fun little layering experiment I did using the Layla Magneffect polish I posted earlier today. 'Flakie' polish over magnetic! I like how it turned out, even though the flakes are subtle:
One coat of Ludurana Flash flaky topcoat over two coats of Layla Magneffect in Golden Nugget. I think the red/green/gold color of the flakes accent the greenish-greyish color of Golden Nugget nicely. Next time I'll use a different flaky polish to give it a little more oomph, as the Ludurana flakes are very sparse.
The Ludurana Flocado topcoat is from Llarowe, I'll do an real review of it soon. For now, I just wanted to show you what I'm wearing on my nails :)

Interesting--I wouldn't have thought to combine the flakies with the magnetic stripes--looks very exotic!
ReplyDeleteKarenD, I was curious to see if it would enhance or ruin the "3D" look of the magnetic, it turned out differently than I thought but I like it!
ReplyDeleterock-or-not, thank you :)
i must try this now! thank you .!
ReplyDeleteLooks good :-) i have just managed to track down the 17 magnetic polishes, can't wait to try them out.
ReplyDeleteI love layering experiments like this!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it. Seriously need to find magnetic polish around here!
ReplyDeleteI like ludurana flakies , but i really think it is sparse too.But it is the cheapest flakies here in Brazil;so, that's why i bought it
ReplyDeleteI love the flakies of Ludurana. I think too sparse the flakies, but looks good with two coats.
ReplyDeletePretty! Such a cool effect :)
ReplyDeleteLike the combinaiton. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHiya Scrangie.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled over one of your pretty pictures on a website selling nail polish - I wonder if you're aware and have allowed the company to use it. It's here: http://shop.llarowe.com/main.sc
I just thought I wanted to let you know. :)
even i bought one nail polisg from Layla, it-s amazing, I put one foto on my blog! you polish review are always the best!!
ReplyDeleteI've two of the Ludurana flakies -- Trovao and Vento. They *are* very sparse indeed but nice. Though the swatch photos I saw in a couple of places made these shades look completely different, to my eye the results are basically identical...both are emerald green to blue. Gorgeous, but I'm giving one away to a friend and hoping somebody else comes out with more flakies that aren't dupes of that same green/gold/orange/red Nubar 2010 look.
ReplyDeleteI love your magnetic nails^^
ReplyDeleteI like it though, my issue with the magnetic polish when I wear it is trying to stop it chipping!
ReplyDeleteI never would've thought to put a flakie over a magnetic polish. But it looks really interesting together!
ReplyDeleteThat is such an awesome combination! <3 it!
