Unfortunately, there wasn't much sun today and my indoor pics of OPI Teenage Dream with shatter weren't looking so great. So I repainted the four fingers I photograph with 3 coats of Teenage Dream for better coverage and re did the black shatter. I think it looks better the second time around. Hopefully there will be more sun tomorrow so that I can show you better pics!
So instead I'm showing you CG Flying Dragon instead. I already had these edited and watermarked, so here's my quick post. :)
Flying dragon is a neon purple packed with fine blue and purple glitters. The polish is a neon, so it is a tad bit streaky, but it evens out nicely with additional coats. I believe this is 3 coats. It's been a while sorry. It might be two, but I want to say three. The polish dries matte, so the glitter gives it a slightly bumpy-ish texture when it dries. It reminds me of dragon skin! (In a good way.) I used clear polish on the tips, which made it a darker glossier shade and really brought out the glitter, especially the purples. I liked both finishes, which is why I didn't use top coat for the whole nail. I think next time I'll put on top coat and then do matte tips. I think I prefer the glossier finish because it brings out the glitter. Here are some more pics.
Well, back to studying for me! Hope you enjoy this post, and I can't wait to show you Teenage Dream tomorrow (hopefully.)
