ABC Challenge : Letter I - Cult Nails Iconic

Well hello! :D

Today's letter of the ABC Challenge is letter "I". For this installment, the challenge gave me a little push to try Cult  Nails Iconic for the first time since I bought it, months and months ago... It's not my oldest untried, but it's still on a top 10 range I think. Note that I am not a big hoarder, admittedly. Here we go:

As you can see the polish is quite complex in itself (what an excuse for not doing nail art on it, ha!): the base is a dark red creme leaning to orange, filled with gold microshimmer that adds a lot of depth to every layer, and red flakies that lay evenly on the nail by themselves, without any fishing needed :)

I was worried at first because the mixing of red and gold / yellow draws me back every time. It reminds me of the colors of the Spanish flag; we can all agree it's not the best time in History to make it fly in the sky (or on the nails). It's a personal choice, of course. All in all I was quite happy with Iconic, no color clashing resulted of its application, and my nails were dressed for another week of work :) 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to jump in my swimsuit and find my way to work through this incessant rain that's falling over Barcelona...
