Lincoln Park After Dark With Flakies, Oh My!

I was getting a little tired of the pastels and brights this week, so I decided to pull out my favorite dark polish (other than solid black), OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark! There is so much hype about this polish, and it is all well deserved! It's a dark dark dark eggplant color.  When you look at it, you can tell it isn't black, but you're really not sure what kind of color it is.  After having just the solid color for a few hours I decided to dress it up, and there's nothing better on a dark polish than some flakies!  So for the flakies I used Fingerpaints Twisted, and applied it over some tape to make the geometric stripes.  You can't really see anything in the direct sunlight pictures that I took, so we're going to use the shade pictures instead.  These were super fun and a nice break from the bright colors (which I'm sure I'll be back to in a few days)

After a couple of days (this wore like iron) I decided to add a matte topcoat, as I love the look of matte flakies! Here is what that looks like:
