NotD: Flake Topcoat

Hello, hello. First, I'd like to welcome all my new readers. I hope you're all as excited about the giveaway as Kat and I are. We wanted to make sure the prizes were nice and something we would want to win. I think we nailed it (pun completely intended ^_~ Haha).

Ok, so today I have a lovely combination of KleanColor Black Hole and Color Club Snow-Flakes. I love the color range of this topcoat: green, yellow, orange and red.

It reminds me of the expensive Christmas wrapping paper I always want to buy. I just can't justify spending so much on less paper which is going to be ripped up within seconds of passing out gifts anyway. Haha.

Check it out in sunlight. Isn't it so pretty?

The KleanColor polish had a terrible drying time. Has anyone else noticed this? My first KleanColor was a glitter topcoat, which had a clear jelly base and typical drying time. So, I didn't know what to expect from their pigmented polish when I ordered this. Also, I still say they have a sweet smell while drying, which I love. Some people think they stink. Which do you agree with?

Thanks for reading! Comments and feedback are always welcome. Mata ne. See you later!

Zoya Daul Swatches

Well, hello. ^_^ Glad you came back for my swatches of Zoya Daul. I noticed that Daul tends to be a little sheer, so I wanted to try some layering. First let me say, this polish is so gorgeous regardless. I don't mind a little bit of visible nail line and with the highly reflective gold shimmer, you barely notice. So, let's get to it, shall we?

Zoya Daul Swatches

The thumb is two coats with no undies. As you can see, the ring finger matches the best if you want true color. So, here's what's on each of the other nails.

My index finger is Sinful Colors Fiji.

Middle finger is Color Club Shabby Drab.

Ring finger is Wet n Wild 2% Milk. It's a skin-tone neutral. I think that's why the color stayed true.

Pinky is Sinful Colors Snow Me White. I was holding it like this on purpose because I thought it helped pick up the color underneath. Haha.

Finally, here's a gorgeous shot in direct sunlight. This shows the colors underneath the best. It was hard getting an angle that wasn't all shimmer.

So, if you're like me and don't like to spend $6-8 on polish, layering is a good option. I love it over all of these colors. What do you think?
