Hi-Def Flakie Nails.

Today's manicure is all about very simple layering, but produces very fun results. 

This is my favorite manicure for anytime I want my nails to look cool but don't have time to do any actual nail art. By layering a few polishes and adding a flakie polish on top, you can get a very eye catching look very quickly.

I've tried a few different combinations, but my favorite is OPI Inc with Sally Hansen HD Laser and Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure. Hidden Treasure and the HD polishes go perfectly together!

Fiery Flakie Gradient Nails.

This isn't the greatest photo because this manicure proved very difficult to photograph, but you can certainly get an idea. 

I used OPI Royal Rajah Ruby as the base (you can see the pretty shimmer in the bottle,) and the flakes are  Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure.

Flakie Zebra Nails.

I was inspired after seeing zebra print over a flakie polish on tumblr and had to give it a shot.

I used OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight as the base and put Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure on top. The zebra print is from Konad M57 and I stamped with Konad Special White Polish.

I think the flakie polish really makes the manicure.

Hope your weekend is off to a good start!

Stained Glass Nails.

This stained glass manicure is one of my favorites. The base is Essence Just Rock It! with OPI I Lily Love You over top. This isn't a polish I hear get much hype, but it's gorgeous layered over a dark blue. It really makes all the flakes stand out.

I stamped overtop using a Sally Hansen Color Quick pen in Turquoise Chrome. The image is from BM-208.

This had the hardest time choosing which photos to post of this manicure, my desktop was completely covered in photos when I was deciding. Each one just caught a different, pretty angle of the flakes. Somehow I narrowed it down to just six!

I've really enjoyed looking down and seeing this manicure, I'll be hesitant to remove it tonight.
