Zoya Fleck Effect Collection

A little tip for flakes: they work better when they are a bit thicker. You can take the brush out and let it sit for about an hour to thicken it up or you can put it in the refrigerator for about five minutes. This works for me to get better flake payoff.

I think that 2012 may be the year of effect polishes. I'm pretty excited about the prospect of seeing polishes that have an effect like magnetics and flakes. The Fleck Effect collection is Zoya's offering in the flake department. Each is in a tinted base but it's so sheer that it doesn't completely change the color it is being layered over. My pick is Chloe for it's slightly different take on flakes from the standard orange/red or blue/green that is usually seen. I like them all and though they aren't mind blowing they are fun and easily had for us US residents. The Fleck Effect collection is available online from Zoya and retail for $8 a bottle.

Chloe over Zoya Cho. Doesn't really showcase Chloe very well but I like it over a nude base.
