You can see all previous swatches HERE as well as what nail art looks I did with each - it's surely been a fun ride :)
As for today's nails, I've got a swatch of CF Beauty Cosmetics Nº9 Flashbulb Grey to show you:
Flashbulb Grey is a lovely silver shade, with a metallic finish to it. Rather than have a mirror like effect, this beauty has a luminous effect - can you see all the light that reflect off of it? Gorgeous!
I'm using two coats in this picture and no topcoat - you can see the end finish is somewhat matte, so you'll want a topcoat with this one.
For nail art and seeing we're closing a chapter, I thought it'd be nice to use all of the polishes in the collection to go out with a bang :)
I wanted something fun, and nothing better than colourful squares - love geometric nails!!
I freehanded each square and I can definitely tell you that working with nail polish is haaaard!
But I love how the end result looks - these were great fun to wear, kept looking at my nails all day and it's incredible how something so simple makes such a statement ;)
How about you?
Do you usually try nail art with nail polish or are you more of an acrylic paint kind of artist?
Also let me know your thoughts about this collection - on my account I'm quite proud that such a new brand has hit it off so well; and they're Portuguese! Double proud! :)
Also let me know if you're proud of any of your nacional nail polish brand - I wanna know!
Hugs & Kissies,

Oh wow! I am usually not much into satin finishes, but this polish looks incredible. As for the nail art, I just can't believe you free handed these squares! They look perfect, as if you used a striping tape. Beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am definitely a nail polish nail art kinda girl :) My acrylics are very patchy and I was annoyed. Maybe if I had good ones.
Very cute polish! But the nail art!! I can't believe you did it on freehand with POLISH!! I definitely thought you used striping tape. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThose square look great!
ReplyDeleteThese are super neat for freehand! And you're right, working with polish is hard! Acrylic drives me crazy though because it always goes on lumpy and patchy, but that's probably my fault :/
ReplyDeleteSuper!! Although that grey could possibly stand out on its own.
ReplyDeleteLove your mani ! So colorful !
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! I can't believe you free-handed the squares...they are perfect. One of my favorite kinds of nail art....simple, but with big graphic pay-off! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the nail art! So cool that you incorporated all shades!
ReplyDeleteThanks, hun! Couldn't resist an all-in-mani ;)
ReplyDeleteThey were a pain hahaha - thank you, sweetie. Love geometric/graphic looks, too - can't look away ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, darling! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, absolutely - it's such a gorgeous polish!
ReplyDeleteThank you, luv! Acrylic paint goes on a lot more smoothly for me - try water it down a bit, there's less lumps that way ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Lisa :D
ReplyDeleteI know, half dead I was when finished haha :)
ReplyDeletethanks, sweetie *
It's a gorgeous(ssss) polish, trust me, you'd love it ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for nail polish and nail art you're all my heroes, I tell you - this is hard stuff!
