American Apparel - Hassid and ABOP Flaky Franken

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 1 of each
SOURCE: American Apparel Store, Flaky topcoat made from Covergirl Boundless Color - Pink Twinkle and multiple Golden Rose Scale Effect polishes.
COMMENTS: I'm not big on putting flaky polishes over black, but to show all the colors in my flaky franken I had no choice but to use black as the base. Hassid is a great one-coat black so served this purpose well. Don't sleep on Covergirl Pink Twinkle people, it constitutes1/2 of the franken! The other half is bits of at least 5 different Golden Rose Scale effects - and I don't remember which ones or proportions, sorry.



The franken is half of this (no topcoat here):

and bits of some of these:

Here's the franken (no topcoat here):

After topcoat:

Up close - the smaller gold-ish flakes are Pink Twinkle:

    That is awesome! I bet it would look sweet over a burnished gold or olive green.

    *jealous* Excellent flakie franken. LOVE the colors. I'm dying to get my hands on those Golden Rose flakies. I even emailed Golden Rose USA and they said they are discontinued so I'm waiting to find someone overseas to swap me for some. Beautiful, simply beautiful!

    This looks so pretty! I don't really like flakies on black either but it does make them stand out much more(:
    I've never heard of the covergirl polishes, do they still have them around? or are these older?
