Flakies, Flakies, Flakies Collection - Paint It Pretty Polish

 *Press Samples*

Hello Loves!!
Today I will be reviewing a new collection from Paint It Pretty Polish.
These are my first Paint It Pretty Polishes and I was very excited to get them on my nails.
I present to you......

Flakies, Flakies, Flakies Collection
 
 Let's get to the swatches!!

All Flaked Up
This is a light blue jelly base polish full of color shifting flakies that go from green to blue to purple and a dash of holo.
I show it here in three coats plus top coat.

I was very unsure about this polish because I'm normally not one to wear light blues but it wasn't too bad on its own. The flakies were not difficult to work with and I didn't need to fish to get them out. There was a bit of a stronger smell to the polish than I'm use to but it wasn't too bad.
Here I show it in three coats with matte top coat.
The real surprise came when I tried this polish over black. On its own I probably wouldn't wear it as much but I can see me wearing this all the time with a black base underneath. 
Here I show one coat of black with one coat of All Flaked Up plus top coat.

I love that everything pops when over a black base. The shift in the flakies is amazing in this polish. But as always, this combination matte is to die for.

Flake Off
This is a pink jelly base polish that has holo, and chameleon purple and blue flakies.
I show it here in three coats plus top coat.

This polish was actually really pretty on its own. The formula on this was really nice and once again I didn't have to fish for flakies which is always a big plus. This can definitely be used alone or as a topper over a colored base.
I show it here with matte top coat.

I had to try this over a black base and it didn't wow me like I had hoped. It still looked beautiful and it reminded me of space. 
I show it here with one coat of black, one coat of Flake Off, and top coat.
I do feel that this combination matte did help all those flakies pop like I had hoped it would glossy. For me that's not a big problem seeing as to how I love matte nails year round.

Flaking Around
This polish is a clear base packed full of blue and purple flakies and holo.
I show it here in three coats plus top coat.

This polish managed to surprise me by how much coverage I got with three coats. The formula was like butter and the flakies didn't give me any trouble. This can definitely be worn on its own or as a topper.
I show it here topped with matte coat.
All the flakies in this polish did pop with the black base underneath. It did remind me of Flake Off in the way that it looked. 
I show it here with one coat of black, one coat of Flaking Around, and top coat.
I must just be loving matte nails lately because this polish looked phenomenal matte. The flakies looks so pretty and the shift was very apparent.

Go Flake Yourself
This is a clear base polish full of flakies that shift from pink to gold.
I show it here in three thin coats.

I've always loved flakies so I knew that this wouldn't be opaque unless I sponged it on. I personally don't mind the empty space look that I get from just applying three coats but I know that isn't everyones cup of tea. For full opaqueness I would recommend the sponging method.
When matte this topper shows off more of the shift that the flakies have which is always fun to see.
I show it here with a matte top coat.

I was very excited to try this over black because I knew the flakies would pop over a base. I feel flakies always look better when over a dark base color.
I show it here with one coat of black, one coat of Go Flake Yourself, and top coat. 

How beautiful do these flakies look matte? Matte flakies will always be my favorite look for any time of the year. They are also a favorite for a night out.
