Hits: Green Flakie





My recent swap with Thays from Tata, Nada Ver brought this beautiful flakie to my home.  It's from Hits and it is a green/blue/purple flakie in a green jelly base. The flakies lay completely flat, which is awesome.  I layered it over Wet N Wild Diving For Pearls from the Mermaid's Cove collection.


I want to layer this over a black or gray in hopes that the blue and purple will show on the nail like it does in the bottle.  It's such a great polish.  A little went a long way with these flakies.  So far I am in love with this brand and am sad that I cannot get more in the U.S. (this one is from Brazil). It looked beautiful on and squishy. I added silver glitter swipes over the corners from an Essence nail art polish.  I don't have much, if any, experience with the nail art striping polishes so I'll practice more, but this was fun to add.  Has anyone tried Hits before? I'm in love with this brand in a huge way!

Wet N Wild: Sea of Dreams and nail art

Check it out! Sea of Dreams from Wet N Wild's Mermaid's Cove collection!This is kind of a big deal because in California, I have not heard of one person finding this collection. Dear Wet N Wild, step it up!!

Moving right along, this is a real gentle mauve/rose polish that has shimmers of gold and pink.  I did 3 coats to be opaque. 

Since the collection is ocean themed, I wanted to do stamping but couldn't bring myself to cover over all the pretty shimmers so I did an accent finger. 


Using Wet N Wild Metallica, I stamped a sea horse from my Mash plate onto my ring finger. Then, using a mega awesome blue I got in a swap from that amazing Tata, I outlined the seahorse.  This glitter is amazing! The brand is Hits and it's blue square glitter in a blue jelly base that's super pigmented and stays together, no clumping or second coat/touch up needed.  I need more of this polish in my life!


There's a close up of the accent finger, check out the glitter! The only thing that was bad about Sea of Dreams is that it's such a shimmer that you  can see the patch on my middle finger o_O   But that's ok, because it's such an easy polish to apply, dries quick and shines with a top coat. 


If you found this collection and are in California, where'd you see it? 

Update on the giveaway: I added nail striping tape so you can try out my nail striping manis, and will be adding at least one other polish when more followers join us :-)
