Finger Paints glitter and flakie - which one is your drug?

Heya people! This is going to be rather short, I'm afraid, I'm losing daylight and I really want to go for a walk before I start to study. It's a beautiful warm-but-not-hot day and I want to savour it before it's study time. This has to be my favourite time of the year, when it comes to weather. I'm not hot or sweating just by standing and breathing, the autumn colours of trees are gorgeous, the woods smell divine ... and yes, tea! I went to La Palais Des Thés today for the first time and that shop is seriously amazing. I fell in love with tea they had for try and I had to buy it, it's called Thé du Hammam and the name itself brings so many lovely memories, I simply had to have it. I just drunk a cup of it and it's fantastic. Although Le Palais des Thés is a bit pricey comparing to Cha (my regular source of teas), I love what I saw and the aromas of teas I smelled ... so yummy! Although I am a giant coffee drinker, because I love the taste and everything, I drink almost the same amount of tea when the Summer ends and Autumn comes, and naturally during Winter.  With my regular 2 l of water per day I can only say I drink a lot of fluids on daily basis. o.O

Nail polish, what say you? I have two beauties today that don't get enough attention from me, they are gorgeous. Plus when I saw them together in FP folder I got curious: which one is your greatest drug in nail polish world? Glitters? Flakies? Holos? Something else? I must say, glitter and flakies are pretty darn close for me. Close second, mind you, first two are still glassflecks and duochromes. Some might argue glassflecks are actually glitter polish, so perhaps glitter is a tad bit closer? But I adore flakies, so go figure. If I  might add, I absolutely love cremes to. So basically, Ulmiel, shut the frak up and give us pictures, right?


 To show you the sparkles, this one is really insanely sparkly!





 This is called All You Need Is Color, it came out in Finger Paints Peace and Love Collection for Summer 2011. The collection didn't get a lot of love, but I actually like most of the colours in the collection. All You Need Is Colour has to be my favourite, it's such a gorgeous, gorgeous teal glitter, made from tiny green, teal, blue specks of glitter, I love it. It needed four coats on my nails and two coats of TC for the rough finish. But I'm one of those that believe the final result is well worth the extra layers. I wore this mani for a long time. Oh, the lovely flowers are Depend stickers, I think I've shown them before. I like them, I like flower patterns. :)





Ah, yes, flakies. Man, it's a really close call for me, I LOVE flakies!! Finger Paints Asylum has to be one of my favourite flakie polishes ever, the colours are insane in this one, I loved this mani. I think I actually wore it for a special occasion, I just am not sure which one. Perhaps my birthday? Dunno. Anyway. My nails were beautiful here. *dreamy sigh* Two coats of Catrice Back To Black and two coats of Asylum over it. Asylum was a part of Finger Paints Special Effects Flake Glitter Topcoat collection that came out in the beginning of 2012, was quickly sold out and so I need to once more thank the best swap buddy in the universe for getting it for me. Oooh, flakies are a vein of glitter then? Glitter all around then, ladies! 

Well, not such a short post after all. 

Thank you for reading!

    1. Menis ta bila samo Asylum in Twisted, ker sta bila raznobarvna, ostali so me preveč spominjali na Nfu Oh, ki jih že imam doma. Je bila pa močna kolekcija, vsekakor, ena izmed prvih s samimi flejkiji.

    1. Actually I'm not such a fan of holo anymore. Go figure, right?

  5. I have both these polishes and they are so pretty, but I often forget to wear them. I might have to try them again after reading your post!

  8. Jaz se očitno ne drogiram. :D Ker mi je glitter všeč na drugih, ampak jaz sem pristašica krem lakov ali mogoče zelo drobnih bleščic.
    Sta mi pa oba tvoja laka zelo zanimiva - prvi čudovite barve, pri drugem so mi pa zanimive te raznobarvne krpice. Take kombinacije še nisem videla. :)

    Btw tvoji nohti so vedno lepi, tudi ko so najkrajši. ;)

    1. Hehe, nisi edina, kar nekaj vas poznam takih. :) Nohte pa imam zdaj že tako dolgo izjemno kratke (do živega), da prav pogrešam malce več dolžine. :/ Zdajle jih ful razvajam, upam, da bo kaj pomagal, čeprav proti stresu ne morem nič. Hvala za kompliment! :)
