spectraflair experiment

so apparently my sister didn't like the thought of me taking a break from uploading pictures.  so, here i am :P

i purchased some grades of spectraflair from here.  it is not the powder form, it is in a suspension base and it is extremely concentrated.   i first mixed some up in an opi topcoat since that's the clear i had sitting out. i realized that it was way too much even though i hardly used any, so i found a 2nd bottle of dumped about a quarter of the first bottle into it and that's what i have on right now.  when wearing that first mix on its own you don't see any of the colored polish underneath.

i also wanted to try with a color, so i found my old cnd oilslick and put some in.  i like it better used as a topcoat to be honest.  i didn't want to add too much into the colored polish and have it also turn pure silver,  so i just stopped and decided to go with the topcoat.

no cleanup done on the below pics.  honestly just wanted to get these online.










this was the first attempt at adding some of each into the first bottle of topcoat.  you can't even see where the bottle has no polish the silver in it was so thick.



and this is a quarter or less of the above added to another bottle of topcoat.  i have 2 coats of this on my nails.






this had some added in, but i didn't want to put too much so i stopped.  it is pretty like this in the bottle and on the nail, however it's no where near as strong as with the topcoat.  forgot to snap a picture of this without the topcoat.






blah, guess my middle finger is really the only thing that needs cleanup lol...guess i'm finally getting better at initially being more careful.  i also should say i used this bottle of cnd to experiment with as the brush was fucked up and i really didn't care about it.
