NOTD: Strawberry Ice Cream Flakies


Hello lovelies! Today I'm wearing one of my favourite nail polishes, Barry M 'Strawberry Ice Cream', and a stunning flakie top coat from Essence called 'Night In Vegas'. I'm a huge fan of flakies but they are quite hard to get in the UK, especially since Gosh discountinued their 'Rainbow' polish - and unfortunately my bottle is now pretty much empty! However, during my last visit to Germany I spotted a few new additions to Essence's Nail Art Special Effect Toppers range, including 'Night In Vegas' which seems like a great dupe for Gosh 'Rainbow'. I picked up a bottle right away (for only 1.80€!) and I'm in love with it, it's super pretty layered over dark polishes (that's when flakies show their full potential) but I also really enjoy topping light, pastel polishes with it. Layering it over a baby pink polish the flakies shimmer in blue, purple and gold which I think is beautiful! What are you wearing on your nails at the moment? xx
