[Franken] Twisted Fantasy

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I'm doing so so... procrastinating from studying for my accounting final that's on Thursday, fml. I have no idea how to use the finance application on my TI 83 to find the bond issue price etc on it... and I can't seem to find anything (ie youtube videos or google links) that would help. What sucks is that the video with the guided example just tells you the input and the output but doesn't show you through an actual calculator. This whole semester and I haven't learned :X I knew I'd hate accounting from the start too.. :( Thankfully it's my last final of the semester... yep, since I go to a "public" college in NY, the school semester runs later than other colleges and universities in the country and NY area.

Anyways, last week or so, I wanted to make a franken since I purchased some base to use with glitters and mica powders, fyrinnaes, etc and wanted to give it a try. So here's my first end product that I'm excited about.


This was the first picture I took after I made it. This shows 2 coats with base and top coat as well. It's a darkened base with a slight blue shimmer, then I added a mixed blues eyeshadow glitters and silver holographic glitters into it and created Twisted Fantasy, I don't know why that name popped up but I just thought since it was dark yet I wanted something holographic with glitters that's what I got. :P You can't really see the mixed blue glitters (brand: Medusa Cosmetics) but I wish it showed a bit more. Sometimes you can see it here and there but the holographic glitters shine out more.

Despite it being winter, I did my nails again yesterday and found the perfect timing when there was some sunlight coming through my window. This time I layered it over black, to save on the polish since I used the last bits of the fyrinnae to create this. The following pictures are the results, which makes me proud of my franken! :) On another positive note, I FINALLY FOUND THE FOREVER21 HELLO KITTY RING!! Which makes it debut on my blog. An the fuzzy fuchsia is my Lotso bear the bf got from the Disney Store for me! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Happy polishing and happy holidays! :)

Midnight Blues

Hello everyone! :) I hope you all had a great day today and sorry for posting so late! ><

Today is a recent swatch picture I did to show my secondary color of my Ruffian manicure better.

Duri Midnight Ride

sapphire blue with silver and orange/pink glitter. The swatch is 2 coats and 1 coat of Seche top coat. It applied nicely and it was only a little bumpy from the glitter but the top coat evens it out. :) The color is freaking amazing!!!!♥

Ruffian

Today's a new type of manicure that has been popular and done by many nail bloggers. But here's my take on it. This is my first Ruffian Manicure. A Ruffian manicure is basically a french manicure except it's been revolutionized so that the tips are actually at your cuticles and you're using various colors rather than the "French" pinks and neutrals with white lined tips at the end of your nails.

First, I did a regular manicure for the base of the manicure and it's the color that you want to be showing as the "tip." For my first Ruffian, I used OPI Teal The Cows Come Home, a shimmery teal. I did two layers of Teal the Cows Come Home over my base coat and put one layer of Seche top coat over.

I then used Duri Midnight Blues and started lower than my cuticles so that the base color would be seen as well as the second color. Midnight Blues is a medium Sapphire blue with orange/pink/red and silver glitters. I suggest you use only one coat for your secondary color or else it'll look thick between your base and secondary color. After that, I topped it off again with Seche top coat and tadaaaaa~! :)

Have you tried the Ruffian Manicure? If so and you would like to show off your Ruffian Manicures, I would love it if you'd email me your pictures, list the nail polishes you used and your blog link and it will be featured in my next blog post! :)

What do you think of the Ruffian Manicure?

Hope you enjoyed!
