Invitation to a party...a nude party ;)

Recently I entered a little contest for frankening and while I can't post pictures of the little gem I created for that contest just yet I have a second franken to show you guys!


Behold.... The Nude Party





In these couple of pictures you can see that this color is Very very nude-y...but there's also a lot of glitter packed into this little baby. I didnt manage to get any sun-lit pictures but this one is soo glittery!


Macro shots....this is my pinky...can you see the hidden shimmer? and the glittery-ness?


 Pinky again


 Ring Finger



Middle Finger


Pointer Finger


Thumb



The "recipe" I  used is pretty straight forward.. I started with the holo glitter I bought on ebay..I used 3parts silver 1part gold and 1 part purple. Then I added in Zoya' Erika, Pandora a drop or two of Blair, and China Glaze Something Sweet and White Cap ( to give it that hint of silvery gold shimmer) and a few drops of NARS Adelita for that hidden gold shimmer...

Voila!~ Its a Nude Party :)

I've gotten so hooked on frankening...In fact I ordered some color morphing powders and some spectraflair( to make holor frankens) so I can't wait to see what goodies I make next :)

Glow in The Dark Comparison

I love a good glow in the dark polish and with Halloween coming up next month I've got 3 Glow in the dark polishes to compare.

First we have Ghoulish Glow from China Glaze (left), then Sephora by OPI in Full Moon (middle) and lastly we have OPI's Zom-Body To Love (right... I bought this in OPI's Spookette set so it's the 4 Halloween mini set)




This is how it looks on the nail. I used 3 coats of the China Glaze, ans SOPI. For the OPI I had to use 4 coats.


Ok... On my pointer finger is Zom-Body to Love. This was really sheer..this was four coats and it still wasn't a really opaque green. In the middle we have SOPI's Full Moon which came out last Halloween and I was lucky enough to pick up 2 bottles of this. This color is streaky..but it evens out by the time you put on the third coat. Last up, we have Ghoulish Glow on my ring finger. This is 3 coats as well but I could've just as well gotten away with using only 2 coats.


See the glowy-ness of the nail..hehe so pretty! As you can see the SOPI in the middle glows the brightest then its the China Glaze on the left and last up is the OPI on the right.




You can see clearer here that the SOPI in the middle is the brighters the China Glaze on the right is next and then the on the left the OPI is like a dim lightbulb compared to the other two...

 When I came around to remove these polishes the SOPI one stuck the most. However, with that being said... I didn't wear a top coat with these...last year when I wore Full Moon with Seche it chipped really quickly... The OPI was a bit hard to remove as well but nothing a little scrubbing with a cotton ball that couldn't remove..The china glaze was breeze to remove but it didnt chip either.

What do you think about Glow in the Dark polish?
