Franken: So Fetch

I started this about a month ago and didn't finish it. Yesterday I got Wet N Wilds Kaleidoscope and was able to finish it. So Fetch is very glittery and I'm excited to try this with other colors.

I used:

tiny bit of SC Dream On (to tint the base)
WnW's Kaleidoscope
loose fucshia glitter from a nail supply store
little amounts of some other purple/pink glitters

Franken: Scuba Diver

I'm on a roll with the frankening lately. This one did not turn out as holographic as I wanted, but I have 1 oz of loose holographic glitter on its way to me so I am going to add that and see if I can get it to be how I want it.

I used:

equal parts Color Club 220 Volts & Bizerk Turq for about 1/4 of the bottle
1/4 NYX Titanic
1/2 CC Worth The Risque

Franken: Peacock! At The Disco

Another franken, and this one is even better than the last. I started out wanting a navy blue holo (I admit I got the idea from someone else) but when I swatched this I had to keep it this way. I will still do the navy holo very soon, along with a lot of other ones. This color is a dark smoky blue with some teal, the holo glitter really stands out in sunlight and artificial lighting.

Franken: Midnight Sky

This was an attempt to dupe another color but it didn't go so well. I was disappointed but I've just decided to take it for what it is. The color is a darker navy, its not quite as bright as the photos show.

I used:
1/5 Dorothy Who
2/5 Easel-y Entertained
2/5 Bermuda Breakaway

Late Earth Day NOTD:Blue franken + Nfu Oh 54

I made a blue franken last night with ChG Shower Together & Bermuda Breakaway, its similar to MAC's Blue India (I think). I layered two coats of Nfu Oh 54 over it. I love this combo because it looks like a watery planet with grassy islands all over, like Earth. The blue is a little bit more teal and dusty in person, and the flakes are kelly green in most lights.

Speaking of Earth, if you care at all about dolphins sign this petition on facebook, from the people that filmed The Cove, to stop the slaughter of 23,000 dolphins each year in Japan. And if you haven't seen The Cove please watch it (or at least the last 20 minutes) it will change your life.

HP Inspired Franken: Bad As Bellatrix

I was inspired by daydream222 on MUA, who used Dorothy Who in a bunch of amazing frankens. This is a dark plum purple with a bunch of blue, silver, and red glitter. I used equal parts Ruby Pumps, DW, and Groupie, plus a bit of Decked With Dazzle (discontinued) and Art Deco's Blue Glitter (which can be found in almost any mom & pop dollar store).

Franken: Galactic Explosion

I'll start by saying for those who don't know, a Franken is a home made nail polish that you make from mixing different polishes or pigments. I've only made a handful so far but its become addicting. This one I made today and it turned out just a perfect as I imagined.

I used a bottle of Tropez clear polish (from Rite Aid) and all but the silver from the Sparks glitter collection on tkbtrading.com. I used probably a pea size amount of each.

As soon as I reach 100 subscribers I'll make another one (or maybe two) and do a give away, so look out for that.
