This is a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Midnight Sky, one coat of Fright Night Claw Polish Pixie Sparkle Topcoat and one coat of Sancion Angel Flakies in Mary Poppins. You might have to enlarge the pictures to see the incredible blue flakes, but they look so amazing in real life. Mary Poppins might be my favorite flaky topcoat ever. A representative from Sancion Angel sent me a couple flakies to review and that was the one that jumped out at me. Blue subtle flakes in a clear base. Smaller than the flakes in the Nfu Oh flaky polishes.
The idea I had was to see if I could make Midnight Sky look more like Chanel Graphite by adding some gold sparkle. It looked great with the subtle gold holo microglitter from the Claw Polish and I wore it like that for a day. Then I couldn't leave well enough alone and added the Sancion Angel polish just to see what it looked like and BAM! Awesome happened. Blue sparkles make anything better.
Mary Poppins is so cool! I love flakies that are different form the norm!
To dupe Graphite, how about trying Chanel's Black satin (or any almost black polish), a layer of a sheer fine gold glitter polish (I'm thinking China Glaze but forgot the name of the lacquer) and then a thin coat of a sheer metallic dark silvery gray?
OOOH where was this blue flakey in a clear base when I was looking for just this around 4th of July??? I am going to see if I can find this one. Our SH anything is always really picked over - that is if we even get the line or the collection this is from.
Where to buy Sancion Angel???? I am only seeing something on line from looks to be So. AM - maybe Brazil? Anyone in the US selling this brand?
Greeneyespinknails, interesting, thanks for the suggestion!
Beachgal, they're from Brazil, they have a website you can order from but it's in Portuguese. I'm not aware of anyone else who carries these!
Oohh you know sancion angel? I came to know this brand a while ago, because they carry the most amazing holos!
you said to not spam you with links, but maybe you would like to see their holos ... they look amazing.
I really love this! Great layering combination.
I really appreciate how you posted these pictures so quickly like you so said you would in your previous post. And the layering combo really does resemble midnight sky as its name suggest! Sooo cosmic and pretty! Hmmm I wonder how cosmic nails can be achieved.
Grrr. Sancion Angel has like TEN flakies, three of which I'd buy right now - yet it seems they don't ship to the US (I put in my shipping zip code and it said "invalid"). Beachgal, would you settle for blue glitter in a clear base? I just ordered 5 L.A. Girl Glitter Addict polishes, and they are SUPER good. Clear base with microglitter plus big hex glitter - good distribution, enough stuff that 1 coat is a great accent, 3 coats is pretty solid. Also? $4 each! And free shipping on a $25 order!
Sancion Angel is one of my favorite brands, here in Brazil! I have 5 of their flakies(including Mary Poppins), they're awesome!
We were very happy with the post about Marry Poppins! I loved it!
@ Scrangie -- A fabulous bestie sent me two Nfu-Ohs, one of which is a flakie (#52). It is indeed gooooorgeous, but the brush on both is SODDING ENORMOUS. Seriously, it's like the brush you get with the plastic watercolor sets in first grade. I even cleaned it off and gave it a haircut, and it's still ridic...plus, dry time was nuts.
What's extra-appealing about many of the Sancion flakies is that they seem to be in a clear or clear-ish base - much more versatile. Sancion Angel, please find a US distributor!
This is beyond appealing in glitter heaven!
Wow, thought I misread "sancion angel", wasn´t expecting to see a brazilian polish on your nails.
I am not a fan of the brand, lots of girls here were disappointed when they advertised about they new holos with perfect pictures. They bought these polishes based on the release and when they came out they were beautiful but not holo at all. I have 3 of this line.
Have you ever heard about another brazilian brand called Rivka? If you have a little time in your hands search flickr for Jenny, similar to revvvolution, gorgeous.
Hi, I'm here again because there are some problems with Sancion Angel polishes, and today SA is topic #1 on Twitter. If you want to know more about pretty holographic Brazilian polishes, try to order Rivka or Hits. High quality.
That layering is beautiful! I thought you had layered Chanel Illusion d'Or on top for a moment.
What exactly is claw polish? A brand of nail polish?
