Where being flakey is good - Barielle Elle's Spell, Nfu Oh 59, Hits Speciallita Flamenco

I'm not quite sure how I ended up with three red nail polishes with flakies, but I might as well compare them!

Barielle Elle's Spell is a warmer deep red, with gold-green duochrome flakies. It's a more opaque shade, and as such, the flakies don't come through as much. But I do like the colour best. Nfu Oh 59 is a colder red jelly with gold-green duochrome flakies, and needs one more coat than Elle's Spell to become completely opaque. But this means its flakes are more obvious. Hits Flamenco is a bright chilli red with gold-green flakies...though the flakies don't change colour much from gold when on the nails.

To be honest, if you have either Elle's Spell or Nfu 59, I don't think you need to get the other. They aren't identical, but they're close enough. Hits Flamenco is an altogether different animal, since it's so much brighter than the other two shades.

If you look at the bottles, you can see that Nfu 59's flakies do shine a little bit more green than Elle's Spell. I do think it's the opacity of the base.

Even after writing this up...I kinda want more flakies. :P
