Too many layers? Never!

Do you every have one of those days when you take your time, pick your color and finish a manicure, but just aren't satisfied with the results? I started off with a nice blacked red color, Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine in Sparkling. Now I love me a good blackened red...in fact that's probably my favorite nail shade.

Here it is:


Yes, pretty, but I needed something more...it had no umph. So I added Ulta's Bombshell. I figured it'd add a little sparkle without changing the base color too much:


Ok, better, but it still wasn't doing it for me. So, I decided "when in doubt, add flakies". So I added a thin layer of Nfu Oh's 44 and Ok, awesome! Just look at the sparkles and flakie combo:

Now that's what I needed ☺
Thanks for looking!

    Bombshell over Sparkling looks great--I might have to copy that. :) I miss Lacquer Shine; HD is okay, but it's no Lacquer Shine.

    Wow! Great combo! Sparkling looks great, but even better with the layers! Love the final result! As a side note: I thought your title said "Too Many Lawyers." Haha! You can never have too many lawyers or layers! :)
