Sorry for the short absence, I was on vacation. Saw some good friends, saw some good music, broke a bunch of nails. I feel like I can never make through the airport without breaking a corner off a nail. Oh well...they grow back fast. But let's get back to the nail art! I did a simple 'Matte All the Flakies!' manicure for this week's prompt. I did this mani with both glossy and matte top coats as per usual, but the matte photos are always better. In my opinion. Let's take a look!
My base is a dark green creme from Marc Jacobs called "Jungle" which was opaque in just two coats. I lightly sponged on Glitter Daze "Forbidden Fairy Dust" in a random pattern on each nail. Then I added a matte top coat from KBShimmer before randomly swiping and dotting on a gold metallic.
I like both manicures before the random gold swipes and with the gold swipes. I couldn't decide which I liked better, so I am going to share both looks with you. The gold adds a little more movement to the design but it is pretty without them, too. Which do you prefer?
And here are the glossy versions just in case you wanted to see them. I like the matte better :)
I hope you liked this little mani I did for Green week. Be sure to check out the tag #31DC2018Weekly on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Plus...be sure to check out what my German bestie, Lotte, is creating each week on her blog! Hope you find the time to join us :)

Ooooh, I would choose the matte version before golden swirls. But it was really hard to decide. :)
