Anti-Summer

Maybe you've seen this already, maybe you haven't. This mani definitely ain't new, but it's one I've been dying to try for the longest time! I figured it was about time to get this look onto my nails, since summer is approaching its end!

For this mani, I started out with my tips painted black. I alternated flakie polishes, using Fingerpaints Twisted for my ring and index finger, and Asylum for my pinkie, middle, and thumb. Finally, I added a matte top coat for a flat finish.








Wet n Wild Black Creme + Fingerpaints Twisted + Fingerpaints Asylum + Essie Matte About You

Have you tried this mani before? If you haven't, you may be in luck!

Yep--it's time for another one of my random giveaways. This time, I'll be giving away two sets of prizes. The first set consists of Fingerpaints Twisted and Fingerpaints Asylum, and the second set consists of Fingerpaints Asylum and a surprise Fingerpaints polish. Who doesn't love surprises, right?!

For my past giveaways, I just emailed the winner and never officially announced it on my page. I realized that my method was really ambiguous and may have left some of you wondering who won, so I'll be doing this one via Rafflecopter. This giveaway will be open internationally, and all you have to do is fill out your name and email for your chance to win. Oh, and don't forget to check back on this post in a week!

See I don't know if I like this finish on my nails, I've tried it once and always felt like I needed to a glossy top coat. You pulled it off tho.
