IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

 I bought this little itty bitty Max Factor mini from a discounted stand (my favourite kind!) at Priceline. For the low price, I couldn't resist the metallic shimmery polish that is Max Effect "Bronze". Golden Copper shade. Even after 3 coats, this nail polish isn't completely opaque. Although, I do prefer a more opaque colour, I must say that this nail polish is stunning under direct light. It is so shimmery and pretty. I think it would be great to use as a topper. My mind is already spinning thinking of the colours I could paint this golden shimmer over.

Endevouring to play with my Sally Hansen Matte Top Coat again, I went with an idea that I had found on Pinterest (boy, can I get lost in the world of Pinterest!) I started with a dark base coat, using Avon Nailwear Pro "Night Violet". I then added Max Factor "Fire Within" (LOVE this!) Then I applied Sally Hansen Matte Top coat only onto diagonal sections of my nails. I finished with dots of Seche Vite, using a toothpick. I really like these 2 finishes together. The shimmer of the Max Factor "Fire Within" is interesting when muted with Matte top coat, I prefer it glossy, but like the contrast of the matte and gloss.
