Flexbrush
Nail Art Multiglitter
It wasn’t my intention for Flexbrush to have a post of
its own, but it acted so differently to the way I expected, I feel I have to
give it the spotlight and write it up.
After applying the MISA polish “Wink, Blink, Let’s get
a drink” (as you can see in the previous post), I decided to spice it up a bit
with some glitter. I found this nail art polish from Flexbrush, a lovely multi-coloured
glitter, which I thought would look fantastic over the fuchsia.
I applied the glitter in stripes – three vertical
stripes lengthwise on each nail and I thought it looked really good. It took
longer to dry than expected, but I didn’t really see that as a problem at the
time.
I’m not sure why, but I didn’t apply a top coat over
the glitter. Little did I know that I should have done exactly that. And so
should you, if you use this product :)
After a couple of hours I happened to wash my hands,
and imagine my surprise to see that *all* the glitter washed off! None left on
my nails whatsoever. Not one solitary little sparkle!
Have you ever experienced anything like that??
I did apply the stripes again, and coated it with two
coats of Sally Hansen Diamond Shine top coat, and that sealed it properly. But
seriously, I’ve never before experienced a nail polish product that washed off
with soap and water!
I don't do glitter so I can't help you there-but find it funny that it would all fall off like that!!
ReplyDeleteYes, funny and most surprising, I must say. Imagine my surprise! :D
ReplyDeleteI think it's a very cool glitter! ♥ Never experienced anything like that, though xD
ReplyDeleteI know! It is so weird! :D ♥
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) That's also the reason why I decided to remake the look after washing it off with water. :D
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at getting some Flexbrush stripers and they apparently have both lacquer based and water based ones, so I guess the glitter striper that you used must have been water based?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that, but that sounds about right. It works great with a top coat over it though :)
