Takko Tuesday! - Opalescent

Happy Takko Tuesday!

I have a gorgeous flakie topper from Takko Lacquer to share with you today!  This is a brand new shade being added to the Curiosities and Exquisites Collection, which is an ongoing collection of cremes and toppers that is continuously added to.  "Opalescent" is a clear based topper that is filled with thin, transparent shifting flakes in a rainbow of colors.  It will not get opaque, so it is best used over a colored base.  In this post, I am showing you it over Takko Lacquer's one coater black creme, "Iconoclast".

The base to flakie ratio is good.  With one coat (which is what I did), you get a nice amount of flakies on the nail without overwhelming the base color.  If you want extra flakies, just add a second coat.  It looks great with a glossy top coat but let's be real...matte all the flakies!!  Seriously on fire once it's mattified.  I really enjoy the nice glow from within these flakes have.

We can't forget the macros!  Both glossy and matte here.  That matte macro though! :)

This new topper will be released at the upcoming restock of the Gems and Crystals Collection.  I still do not have an actual date to share with you though.  But pay close attention to the Takko Lacquer social media outlets for an announcement on restock times.

  1. Oh yeah! :) Love both versions, but you're right - this topper has to be matte. Absolutely!

    1. If my memory serves me, I think I used the Glisten & Glow Matte Top Coat for this.
