Chloe's mylar flakies shift from mainly green to orange, but sometimes you can spot some aqua blue in there. I picked up Chloe because I don't have very many flaky polishes. However, when I got it home, I did not know what I was going to do with it. So it sat for a couple of months while I hemmed and hawed over what to do.
What looks good with something that looks like a clumpy oil slick?
I know, Orly's Space Cadet!?

The base color I used was Sinful Colors Fig, but any medium purple underneath Space Cadet would produce the same affect.
So here's what I used, 1 coat Cult Nails Get it On base coat, 2 coats Sinful Colors Fig, 1 coat Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat, 1 coat Orly's space cadet, 2 coats of Zoya's Chloe, 1 coat Seche Vite. Eight whopping coats of nail polish.
I didn't do all of this at once. I was wearing Sinful Colors Fig for a couple of days alone. So this was an easy recycled mani.
Side note: For those readers who are big 3 free, Seche Vite is not, it contains toluene.
Please feel free to comment. I love comments!
Those flakie polishes are perfect for layering over an older mani to refresh it! Personally I don't like them as much as to do a full mani with them, but the colors you picked make Chloe stand out! :)
