Blue frankenawesomness and glitta

Hi loves <3

Today we have a beautiful layering combo with 2 frankens...

First is just a sky blue, with a crelly (creme/jelly)  consistency.  

Sun

In my anticipation of some glittery sparkly etsy polishes, I tried to combine a few of my own glitters to create a semi peacockish polish.

Below with a matte top coat.

Then I added a shiny top coat... (you can see the awesome holo sparkles)

Etsy Awesomeness!!!! The Hungry Asian Sneeze Breeze

Hi gals!
I got home today to find a wonderful package containing my buys from the etsy store : The Hungry Asian!!!!! I purchased two minis, Sea Monster and Sneeze Breeze.

Today I'm showing you:

Sneeze Breeze is a lovely clear based polish with mini black and iridescent blue matte glitters.



In the pictures below, I have it layered over a blue pastel franken polish. The amount of black vs iridescent blue glitter changes depending on the light...really awesome, right?


look how the iridescent blue glitter glows! pretty :P



I totally love this polish!! It has so many layering possibilities.....over white, grey, black, orange, pink, etc, etc....... 
The only issue was that the glitter was super bumpy and needed 3 coats of top coat to be smooth. But that could be resolved by doing a thinner coat and careful brushstrokes. I'm sure this will look great matted as well...

Thoughts?

Layered Mermaid

Hi loves! Today we have a mermaid-istic combo.

First up 4 coats of Revlon Royal, no top coat.


Revlon Royal is a navy jelly. It dries to this cool plastic finish while still looking super squishy ;) Formula was a bit thin and I had to be super careful with my strokes. In the shade this look way darker and more like the last picture. 

With 2 coats Spoiled Pet my Peacock   (Peacocks!! YAY)






look at all that beauty in the bottle!!
soooooo many possibilities :)
Spoiled Pet My Peacock a clear based with green, gold, silver, blue, and purple medium sized hexagons.
It had a weird formula where I had to dab the glitters on. I think this would look nice over a light blue...

:D I think that if I experimented a bit more I could get a Deborah Lippman Across the Universe effect.
hummmnnnn...

Suggestions?
thanks for reading!

Franken Saturday!

Happy Saturday!!! YAY weekend!!!
As you probably know, I am not the best at naming my franken...
I think I have only named one, Cookie Monster, but I haven't even shown you guys (lol)
Anyway, today I have another nameless franken for you guys! 

It has a pink semi sheer (but easily buildable) base and has different colored glitters in it.
I even added a tiny bit of flakies!!
3 coats no topcoat!

Here we have some GIANT pictures so you can see the awesomeness!!!

A pretty shade for spring.

Any name ideas?

"finally a holiday glitter"

Marine Scene

hi all
sorry this post came a little late
here we have 3 coats of Sally Hansen hard as nails extreme wear "Marine Scene"
it was pretty opaque with 2 but...3 is what i did
its on the sheer side yet slightly gloopy
hopefully you can see the shimmer strands !!!!


here I actually did one coat of Lime Lights over Marine Scene
doesn't make much of a difference except for giving it a greenish tint

after that i did some nail art
