Gray union jack nail art

It's Sunday and Lelack's Nail Art Sunday and this time the theme was "Union Jack". I was really happy when I heard the theme, because it's one of my favorite themes on nails even though this is only my third attempt. I knew from the start that I wanted to make it gray, or more like gray, black and white because I think it look so cool. Also I've made a normal colored one before and one in gold as well.

 First out is the shiny version which I finished of yesterday with SV.

Shiny can be nice too, but then I decided I wanted to try it out matte as well.

I used HM Matte Top Coat on my left and I also tried Kleancolor - Madly matte on my right hand.

 I loved the matte version.

I highly recommend you not to use Madly Matte after you've used SV. For some reason it cracks everything up like a crackle if SV is applied before. This time SV was allowed to dry for about 10 hours so everything was definitely dry all way through. I had to fix my right hand to save it so sadly it didn't end up as smooth as my left hand. Now I know till next time, lesson learned.

Polishes used:
HM - Miss Stone Heart
Jordana Pop Art -Black Mark
Jordana Pop Art -Contemporary White

Did you liked the shiny or the matte version? Have you tried out Kleancolor Madly matte? :)
