Polished For Days: Long
Live The King
Described as a bright red
leaning coral jelly nail polish packed with micro flakes that sparkle in
orange, gold, red and pink
"Long Live The King" is from PPU and is originally from September
2019. I bought my bottle in a re-run in July 2020. It's a gorgeous flakie.
I wanted to see how this polish works on its own but also layered. So I applied
a red base on all the fingers except for the ring finger. The red base is China
Glaze's "Hot Flashes".
I expected the red base to make the flakies pop more but they didn't - I
honestly couldn't tell the difference on the nails with and without the red
base.
I applied Minnie Mouse-stickers onto it because I love Minnie Mouse.
Here's the final result including topcoat.

Here it is without the stickers. It's three
coats of "Long Live The King" on the ring finger; and two coats of
"Long Live The King" over a red base on the rest of the fingers. This
is photographed with topcoat.
