Twinsie Tuesday Revisited

Hello hello,

 

I think this week's TT theme is a great one, it's Twinsie Tuesday Revisited.  That means we each get to go back and re-do the previous mani of our choice.  I went back to Feb 2012 which was "Franken polish".

Gosh Holographic Hero is a silver linear holo.  The rainbow isn't super stong in this holo, but it's definately there.

I mixed NYC MoMa with HH and it made the most beautiful purple color!  The only problem was that it lost almost all of the holo effect. 

 Even though the rainbow disappeared, I still really like how this turned out!

Check out the other Twinsies!

A Grape Glitter Franken

I'm feeling Fall in the air today in Southern BC.  I never wanted Summer to end, but as we've gathered school supplies and new school clothes, and had staff meetings instead of beach days, I'm feeling more ready for the routine of Fall.  Plus I'm super excited for tights and boots, and of course some Fall polish!

 

I made this franken a while ago, using Ulta Blackberry and a clear polish for the base and then a ton of Milani Gems.

Posy

I made a franken that reminds me so much of Summer.  I named her Posy.  It's a blue jelly with multi colored and sized glitter, some small white glass flecks, and larger white flakies. Mmmmmm.

I should have put more flakies in it!  You can never have too many flakies I always say.



When I wore this, I actually preferred my right hand (it had more glitter on it) but I didn't even attempt to take a pic of it!  It's luck of the swipe with this franken.  I guess I could've put another swipe on, this was 3 thin coats.  And they super quick, it was great.



I used a concoction of polishes from my stash to make Posy.



Melted Sprinkles

I've got a super cool franken to show you today, made by my lovely friend Nory from Fierce Nails and Makeup.  She sent it to me in one of our swaps and I squealed out loud when I unwrapped it!  They are available for sale on her blog, go check them all out, they are fabulous!

Melted Sprinkles has small pink and blue glitter mixed with holo glitter of varying sizes in a white base.  It totally makes me think of cupcakes and sprinkles!  Application was a breeze, 2 coats and it was fully opaque.  I used 2 coats of Seche Vite to make it perfectly smooth.  Oh and it dried super quick too!

And look at this purdy bottle shot!



Twinsie Tuesday Franken

Twinsie Tuesday again! 

This week's swatch is a franken.  Can't wait to see what the other girls do, I'm guessing there might not be any 'twins' today as frankening is so unique.

I mixed only 2 polishes for my mani.  I used Ulta Grin and Berry It and WnW Give Me a Price Quote (both from Nory, thanks Doll!)

Here it is:

Peach

Happy Thursday, the week is almost over!

I started swatching Revlon Coral Me Wild again, and I mixed in some yellow to see if I could lighten it (I don't own a 'peach')  So my ring and pinky finger has Coral Me Wild mixed with yellow to make a softer creamy orange-peach color.



Black Sheep

I made this franken yesturday using W&W Black Cream, a bit of Rimmel Vintage, some clear and a few hex glitters.   It ended up a bit more shimmery than I had wanted, but I still really like it. 

 

Pink Wednesday

I'm doing my first Pink Wednesday post.  I made this franken the other day, just using a super old bottle of Revlon Sheer Blossom (try not to look at the hideous franken bottle!) and a few drops of Revlon Cherries in the Snow.  I love the soft squishy look it has.
