I never know which word is better for this kind of polish: flakies or flakes? There are small flakes in the polish, yes, but flakies just sounds cuter. Any opinion on that?
Anyhow, this Sunday I am showing you combinations of flak(i)e polishes. I hope you like them! Let me know your favorite. I’ll tell you mine at the end!
nails inc it girl over Nubar Geisha Blaze. One of the subtler combinations, as the flak(i)es don’t become mutinous and take over the base color. Flak(i)e color: blue.

Fingerpaints flecked over OPI Suzi loves Cowboys (so do I, since I started watching Justifiiiiieed. Howdy dear Mr. Olyphant, whom I don’t understand, but enjoy tremendously to look at!). Flak(i)e color: green to blue.

The famous Nfu-Oh 51 over OPI Suzi&the 7 Düsseldorfs. Absolutely gorgeous in the bottle, and the bottle itself too, but somehow not my style. Still pretty to look at – it looks different every time. Flak(i)e color: orange to green to blue.

essie shine of the times over Nubar Iris Dust over OPI The color of Minnie. I don’t know if the layering of a duochrome under a flak(i)e polish enhanced the flak(i)e effect, but I think so because THIS IS GORGEOUS! And the flak(i)es are so dense! flak(i)e color: orange to gold to green.


Fingerpaints flashy over the brown creme from the YSL duo 07 (the other is a stunning pistachio that I used here). flak(i)e color: orange to green.

My favorite is, by far, essie shine of the times. Maybe it’s the combination with Nubar Iris Dust? I don’t know, but this was such a stunning manicure!




I like the second combo best but I love them all. My favorite layering combo of all time is Zoya Frida & Chloe. You can find it on my blog if you’re interested. Thanks for the lovely photos!
OOOOH AAAAAAH!!!! I love flakies!!! These are all beautiful manis!
Tolle Swatches! Ob Flakies oder Flakes, ich liebe diese Effect Lacke sehr.
LG Petra
They all look great
I think I’m probably loving the fingerpaints most, but then it might be the combination with that colour – too difficult to decide!!!
Wow! I LOVE the combination of Fingerpaints Flecked and OPI Suzi loves Cowboys. Not a pairing I would have thought of on my own but they do look so gorgeous together! An amazing contrast.
I just slapped it on when I wore Suzi loves Cowboys, but I was also rather surprised by how good it looked – but you know how they say, even a broken clock hits right twice a day!
Die Kombination mit Essie Shine of the times finde ich auch seeeehr hübsch *__*
