ILNP Ferris Wheel

ILNP Ferris Wheel over Emily de Molly Crystal Crown

ILNP Ferris Wheel is a combination of color-shifting Ultra Chrome Flakies. It can be used as a top coat or solo. You'll need at least three coats of Ferris Wheel, if you want is to be completely opaque on its own. You can also use sponge to apply it, as if it were a glitter polish. I'll be using Ferris Wheel only as a top coat, I like it much better this way. Flakies in Ferris Wheel are opaque and can be worn over any color without affecting their color-shifting properties.

To be honest, I'd never buy Ferris Wheel myself. I don't use glitters or polishes heavy with flakies because usually they are pretty hard to remove, and my nails are too brittle to remain unharmed by that. I won Ferris Wheel in a weekly quiz held by our local online nail polish store. I swatched it on a display and it looked amazing. The flakies were really smooth and didn't need a top coat so I decided to give Ferris Wheel a chance. I really hope these flakies are easy to remove.

Just a quick update. I needed lots of time, wipes, and nail polish remover to get these flakies off me. Thankfully, they didn't stick to the nail plates so there was no extra damage to the nails. 

I took some macro pics of the bottle because those flakies are just so awesome!

Emily de Molly Garnet Fire

Emily de Molly Garnet Fire is a dark red with copper/bronze/gold flakies. The formula was thicker than I'd like, and the application wasn't that easy for me. I even had to correct the polish on two fingers with a brush dipped in acetone, and I don't like doing that at all. I don't know, if that's because of pigment, flakies, or thickness but I would certainly try adding nail polish thinner. The color is beautiful, and I liked those flakies, surprisingly, so I'll keep trying to tame Garnet Fire. The polish is high pigmented so you can get away with just one coat. I'd suggest applying two very thin coats to minimize any mishaps. The polish dries fast and smooth on the nails, flakies do not make the surface rough. I still applied a top coat to make the color more vivid.

The pic was taken near a window with just a little hint of sunlight.
