Unnamed Franken

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well ~ :) I'm doing alright, just trying to work a ton! Anyways, as of now, I'm facing a dilemma on this blog... feeling uninspired and 'ehhh' about it. Hope it goes away, but maybe I'll take a break from blogging and sometimes I'll be back with some posts.

Anyways, I made this franken about last week or so, still unnamed, maybe list a suggestion of names down? :P I actually really love this franken! I'm showing it with 2 coats and 2 coats of top coat. 

Remember Prevail See You in Chelsea? Well, the polish wasn't that good because it was so sheer and it was just lying around on my desk, so I decided to use it to franken! :)

Here's what I used:

Prevail See You in Chelsea

Forever21 Love & Beauty Navy

Quirius Glittering Rainbow

Hope you like it and happy polishing!

Franken #3

Another franken again! Sorry if you're getting tired of frankens! ><

Franken #3

• half a bottle of OPI natural nail strengthener clear (I ran out of clear polishes and used this since I don't use it anymore)
• 1/4 of Prevail See You In Chelsea (doesn't show up in the end product)
• some amount of Biker Chic fyrinnae
• some amoutn of Chrome fyrinnae

black base with blue and silver shimmer. it's similar to the 2nd franken I made but I used silver fyrinnae rather than the gold bronze fyrinnae (gilded wings). The swatch is 2 coats and no top coat.

The bad news: as I was mixing everything together in an empty Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat bottle, the bottle broke and leaked out! :( and it got over my sleeping shorts :( I tried nail polish remover but it doesn't come out so now I'm going to have to take it to the professional cleaners. I'm really sad because this pair of sleeping shorts is relatively new, and I haven't worn it that many times. I hope my mom doesn't find out or she'll kill me because she bought them for me not too long ago :X

all my frankens are unname and looking for names ~ any suggestions are welcomed!

I hope you enjoyed :)

Prevail

Today I went to watch Despicable Me with the boyfriend and I loved it!♥ I thought it was funny and cute :). Before and after the movies, I went to 2 different Duane Reade's to get top coat since my Seche turned horribly thick & useless. At the first Duane Reade, there was no Seche :( but I picked up 2 bottles of nail polish, one which I never heard of before so I decided to try one out since the color looked really nice but it was $6 a bottle, kind of pricey for a drug store polish. After the movies, I went to the Duane Reade closer to the movie theater and found my Seche♥.

Swatches!

Essie Pretty Edgy

green, kind of hard to describe what kind of green but it's not very blue based though - that didn't help much, lol. The swatch is 2 coats and no top coat. For the nails picture, I used China Glaze Strawberry fields to create the strawberry and Pretty Edgy as the leaves of a strawberry. The seeds look like a fail, maybe because I rushed it and it looks awkwardly placed. Another time I'll redo the strawberry nails :P. Overall I like the formula, application, drying time and the color is unique in my collection since I don't own that many greens excluding mint greens. :)

Prevail See You In Chelsea

light sky blue with green shimmer. The swatch is 3 coats with no top coat and there's VNL. This is the brand that I'm unfamiliar with and as I googled it, I only found it relating to 'diapers' (drugstore.com) & Nubar. The price is eh, which made me hesitant but I wanted to try it out. So this isn't the type of nail polish to be the base coat but rather layered. I wanted to see which blue would go nicely under and here are the pictures. After layering them on top, I noticed that it was mostly a green shimmer than blue shimmer. You can't see it well on top of Essie's LOL or CC TMTYC but I like them best on those two, for the 'water' look that I'm looking for to do my nails with. :P

Thumb Claire's Fresh Water (4 coats), index American Apparel Peacock (2 coats), middle Essie Lapis of Luxury (2 coats), ring Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Fairy Teal (2 coats) and pinky Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau (1 coat).

As I was going home, the boyfriend and I were contemplating on ideas and he came up with the movie Titanic. Although I'm a noob at nail art this was a pretty good attempt. On my left hand I made the iceberg, though it doesn't completely look like one.. I'm most proud of it and the 'fail' Titanic, lol. On my right hand since I'm terrible with making nail art with my left hand, I tried to make a necklace relating to when Rose threw the necklace into the ocean. The pendent was kind of a fail but I do like the chain lol. Overall, it was a good experience and challenge for me because I usually do the same, similar or easy nail arts. :)

Used: China Glaze Ruby Pumps, Essie Chinchilly, Essie Lapis of Luxury, LA Colors Nail Art Gold Glitter, OPI Alpine Snow and Prevail See You in Chelsea.

hope you enjoyed,
