Hi everyone, happy Thursday!
I've been bombarded with family issues for the past week, so I may be posting a bit more sporadically than usual. Due to these circumstances, I'm most likely going on a no/low-buy in the future -- I have to save up in case something bad happens!
But today we're talking about polish! I finally got around to making a franken that I've been thinking about for the past few months. For some reason, I always thought Clarins 230 aka "Unicorn Pee" didn't really remind me of Unicorns. I've always associated Unicorns with rainbows, and I found that Unicorn Pee missed part of the rainbow.
Long story short (most of it thinking on my part), I decided to mix Girly Bits Shift Happens, Street Magic, and Cosmic Ocean together in a bottle in order to create something that was more Unicorn-y in my opinion. I loved how it turned out!
The pictures below are two coats of my franken over China Glaze's Elephant Walk. These were all taken under various lighting - under a daylight lamp, bright indirect light and full sun. Sorry for my oddly shaped pinky finger... I got frustrated at the length of my nails while I was on vacation and I did a rough clip with nail clippers. I ended up cutting my pinky nail too short to even out using a nail file! Also ignore the printing on the side of a bottle - the only empty bottle I could find was one for a base coat.
Hope y'all have a great week and weekend!

Franken Friday!
Hi everyone!
I made this franken a few days before Valentine's day, but haven't shared it with y'all until now! This is currently unnamed since I can't really think of anything good. Any suggestions? :D
This is a magenta-pink shimmer with orange-gold-green flakies!
That's all for now, happy Friday everyone! Have a good weekend! :)

Franken - Queen Sophie
Good morning everyone!
I had a dream about frankening up a pretty purple holo a little while ago, so yesterday I set out to try to make it really happen! This franken didn't turn out exactly how the polish in my dream came out to be (it was a really light lilac colour), but it's still really pretty! It's actually not as linear as I wanted it to be either, more like something in-between a scattered and linear holo.
I used a little bit of China Glaze's TMI (HTF I know... :( ) with a little bit of blue to tint it to a red leaning purple.
I decided to name this one "Queen Sophie" after my cat, mostly because I like putting names to things and it also gives me an excuse to post a picture of her.. ;)
Ah, the queen lying in her chosen napping place.. I'm sure I have a lot of other (more embarrassing for her) photos lying around on my computer, but this was the only one I could find fast. Mayhaps those pictures will show up later.. :D
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your Friday!
