Half Moons

Hey! I've been meaning to do half moon nails for a while now and I've finally got around to doing them! Well that's a but of a lie, I tried doing them a few months ago, did one nail which turned out DISASTROUS so gave up, haha. I like how it turned out this time, but I would have liked it more if the stupid red wasn't so darn thick! And the thickness led to bubbles in the polish, sad face!

The polishes I used were Orly Pure Porcelain and a gorgeous franken red which I really should name, seeing as how I often go on about how I hate unnamed polishes! I also lost my beloved Seche top coat at my friends the other night, I'm blaming that on the tequila, so the only top coat I have at the moment is my matte top coat, which a bit of a bummer.

Stripes and Flowers

Hey! Just a quick post from me today as I have to rush out. All the colours are Barry M, apart from the green which is a fraken. So enjoy!

It's so annoying to take pictures in the sunlight when Seche is your topcoat, it's just too damn glossy!

Stripy Pink Wednesday

Happy Pink Wednesday and Happy Birthday to my little sister!

My mum's boss made my sister 16 cupcakes for her 16th birthday, YUM!

Back to nails, for this pink Wednesday I decided to go for stripes. The base colour is a light pink franken, then 17 Pink Grapefruit for the stripes. The lines aren't that crisp, but you can't really see that in real life, I hate how the camera magnifies every imperfection.

Just a short post for today, I have such a bad migraine. :( 

Rudey Nudey

I'm LOVING nudes at the moment, yesterday I made like 4 nude frankens and I can just tell I'll end up spending a fortune by buying the Zoya ones and any others I can find! I'm pretty obsessed!

I've decided to take more pictures of my right hand as my nails are longer than my left. :P

It's a pretty similar shade to the nude in a previous post but that one was pearl whereas this one isn't. I think I prefer this one, but I do love both.

Vampy Franken

I love this franken (and so does my mum, I can tell she'll be stealing it), it's full of purpley, red, shimmery goodness! I don't really like just plain nails though, but I can't think of what to do on top of it, especially what colour to go on top! So what does everyone else think? Maybe gold? Ideas please!

Nude Nails

I'm kind of loving the nude nail look at the moment, and as I made a nude nail franken the other day I thought I'd give that a try. I think it looks pretty good, although I'll probably be making another nude franken soon, maybe one lighter than my skin tone? Considering this was a franken it applied really well. I don't know about the rest of you, but my franken polishes can be a bit hit and miss with how they apply, but this one only needed 2 coats! Then I put my Seche Vite over it, I still can't get over how glossy it is!!

Franken Mad

I've gone a bit franken mad over the last few days, so here are the ones I've made!

Surprisingly I only made 1 glitter franken, the others were just colours I've wanted for a while but can never find in shops. 

I've wanted a nude nail polish for a while now, but the only ones I find are sheer so I made my own! And I've wanted a light pink for aaaaages and as I had a little bit of a matte top coat left I made the pink franken in there so it's matteified, it also has a gold shimmer to it too, but couldn't capture that in the pic. I'm thinking the pink will be used in my pink Wednesday.

This red is gorgeous! It's a bit more purpley in real life and has a shimmer to it, but you can't see them because my camera is a bit crap. The green glitter is AMAZING, I put loads of different coloured glitter in it.

Here's a close up on my leg, haha, as it's the only way I could get a half decent close up. I should probably think of some names for them, but I'm not that creative. 

Purple Glitz

Today's mani is NYC Prince Street with NYC Gramercy Glitz on top. I'm really into purple nails atm, and as I haven't tried Prince Street yet I thought I would give it a go and then of course I needed some glitter on top. At first I thought Gramercy Glitz was just a peach glitter, but to my surprise it's this gorgeous blue and pinky/peach glitter, in the bottle it really doesn't show the blue!

I've also made 3 frankens today, it's kind of addicting! Swatches of those will be up tomorrow. I have 2 more empty bottles, just don't know what kind of franken to make! Any ideas?

My First Franken.

So here's my first franken! Exciting times or what! You can't really see the blue glitter in this pics, because my camera is complete pants, but it looks pretty cool in real life.
