Today's post is heavier then the usual because I really love this mani and I couldn't decide which of the photos to take off... So be prepared ;-)
It needs two easy coats for full opacity. This polish is completely self leveled and as you can see - there are absolutely no brush strokes or any other issue except pure beauty. Since I wanted to keep the matte finish, I didn't use any top coat but as you can see in the close-up picture below, you can see the holographic shimmer even without any top coat!
I then used Amy - Nail Venturous's idea for the dots and I stamped them with white polish and Konad plate number m79. I'm sorry I forgot to take a picture of my stamped nails but I hope I do make up for it with all the other pictures... The stamping was only used as a template so I can see where to put the dots. So then I used my loyal dotting tool and I covered the white dots with some holographic polish. The colors I used are Color Club Eternal Beauty (Purple), Color Club Over The Moon (Blue) and China Glaze L8R G8R (Green).
Just an important piece of info - you can find Black Beauty in SoFlaJo's website as well as her Etsy shop. Also, make sure you follow her Facebook page and Twitter account to stay up-to-date with all her information!
