Picture Polish Festival
Flakies are my absolute favourite finish IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I've been obsessed with them forever! I remember when they weren't easily accessible and I had to search high and low for these coveted little bottles of flakie goodness. This season, flakie polishes are being embraced by mainstream companies and are making a splash in a big way. Aussie company piCture pOlish have come out with THREE "flakie covers" and I have Festival for you today. WORD OF WARNING: IT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!!!! XD
Festival consists of varying sizes of blue, green, red and orange flakies in a clear base. Here I've layered 3 coats over a black creme (no topcoat) and OMG doesn't it just look fantastic?!!! I absolutely adore the different coloured flakies and the almost duochrome effect it has in different lighting. It makes a nice change from the single coloured flakies. I love them too but a change is always nice!
The flakies apply kind of sparsely so you'll need a few coats for full flakie effect. Because you need a few coats it does take a while to dry but it's so worth it in my opinion. The formula is on the thicker side but very easy to apply and the brush was a pleasure to use too.
Close up:
Overall: You NEED Festival in your life. Get thee onto their website and purchase yourself a bottle. Or 2. Or 3.
Details: piCture pOlish flakie covers can be purchased online from piCturepOlish.com.au for $11.90. They send internationally too!!
For a full list of international stockists you can check it out here.
Are you a fan of flakie polishes? Thanks for looking as always!

It´s beautiful!!, very similar to the Twisted top coat of Finger Paints :)
ReplyDeletelooks gorgeous like a beautiful rainbow! Flakies are my fav too!
ReplyDeleteYOINK! Off I go to pick up at least one... Haha, love this. Gorgeous shots and you've shown it off so well too! May I ask what colour black shade you've used? I'm looking for a new go-to-black nail polish... :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the look of these flakies!! WANT SO BAD!!
ReplyDelete@La loca de los esmaltes: It's stunning isn't it?? I wish I could get my hands on the Finger Paints flakies but unfortunately they aren't available in Aus =(
ReplyDelete@♥beauxs mom: Glad to hear you love flakies too! They are just amazing aren't they?? =)
@Dustyn: LOL thanks so much hun!! I used 2 coats of BYS Black Satin for this. It's a pretty decent black but my bottle is getting a little thick. It's opaque in medium coats and dries quite quickly. I'm on the hunt for the perfect black creme myself actually!
ReplyDelete@Annica: GET YOURSELF SOME!!!! You won't regret it =D
Amazing effect
ReplyDeleteWow! I also love flakies, and where I live I can't find one! I only have 2 and they came in a swap but the ones I have are those that are really really difficult to apply! But that one by piCture pOlish is just amazing! ^__^ And I noticed it reflects more that two colours! Astounding! *___*
