Pastel Jelly Glitter Franken

Hello dear readers!

Today I want to show you a franken I made a couple of days ago. This franken is a type of sheer color with multi glitter, I called it pastel jelly because it is not very opaque, so that the glitter can be visible. As was cleaning an empty bottle of black Kleancolor nail polish, it occurred to me that I should make a franken from scratch.

I used a bunch of glitters that were sitting in a dark corner of my nail polish drawer and mixed them together.

Here you can see my special blend of glitters...

I mixed the glitters with clear nail polish plus a few drops of white and pink cream nail polish until I reach the desired opacity.

I painted three coats of my pastel jelly & glitter franken.

An extra pic...

I love how this nail polish looks. It reminds me of strawberry glaze with candy sprinkles.

I hope you liked this franken because I do :)

Have you tried to mix this type of franken?

Wait! If you like, you can still enter my giveaway it ends in 8 days, February 17th ;)

My First Franken - picture heavy ; )

Hello dear readers!
It is been a couple of weeks since the last time I posted. I was busy with school (final exams, assignments...). Now I'm officially on vacation  since last Friday. I haven't done anything on my nails because I don't feel like it... I've been feeling a bit down since I finish my semester. It is weird, when I'm in school, I want to take some time off and now that I'm on vacation, I miss school : (  I guess I've been studying nonstop so much that I got used to it, hahaha

Today, I want to show you my first franken polish, it is not like the Spectraflair top coat that I just added the pigment to clear polish...This time I mixed a bunch of nail polishes and glitters.
More pictures below:

It all started as an accident, I wanted to add some holographic shine to a Japanese nail polish that I never got to use (my mom did ^_^), but I guess the color was too sheer because it turned out grey in color... I thought I had ruined my precious Japanese nail polish, and the only way to fix it was to add some color to it.

*For this franken polish I used some drops of:
Borghese - Clear
China Glaze - Millennium
Kleancolor - Neon Pink
Kleancolor - Pearl Fuchsia
Kleancolor - Metallic Pink
Sally Hansen - Sweetheart
*Then, I added A few tiny scoops of :
Spectraflair --of course ;)
Fantasy Makers glitter - Glitz (silver holographic)
Squared translucent glitter

I mixed and swatched until I was happy with the opacity and color and here is the result:
This is the bottle, isn't it pretty?

Here you can see the color and glitter in more detail:
 
Here is the nail polish on my nails:
 

This is the nail polish that I'm currently wearing... since almost 3 weeks! I'm surprised that it has not chipped yet, I love it ;)

What do you think of my first real franken? Your comments are always welcome :)

Spectraflair Topcoat

Hello, it's me again. I want to share with you some swatches of different nail colors with a Spectraflair top coat that I frankened myself. 


Here is how the nail colors looked before the topcoat:

And here is the picture of the bottle I used:
The recipe I used for this topcoat: I filled 1/3 of the bottle with suspension base I emptied from a heart glitter nail polish. Then, I filled the rest with Sally Hansen clear topcoat. I put in 4-5 small straw spoonful of Spectraflair powder (you can see a frankening recipe in More Nail Polish blog). Finally, I added  12 drops of nail polish thinner (To mix the Spectraflair better).

What do you think of the holographic effect of this topcoat?
