Franken - Aparecium

Hi all,

This will be a short post since I have a lot on my mind right now and I don't really feel like blogging. It will take me some time to get back in the mood, to call it that way. Anyhow, on to pictures of my very first selfmade franken.

Aparecium, two coats in daylight. The color in this picture is not true to life: it's lighter and more dusty. A bit more like in the next pic, actually.

Aparecium, two coats in daylight. Aparecium is a dusty medium purple frosty with multicolored shimmer that you can only see when you're looking at your nails in direct light. The shimmer is red, silver, purple and blue and very pretty to look at.

The name comes from a spell from Harry Potter that forces invisible ink to show. It was an idea of Natasja to name this franken Aparecium and I found it very suitable because of the hidden shimmer. Thanks, Natasja!

The receipe for this one is approx. three quarters of a bottle of Catrice Just Married (light pink shimmer), about a quarter of a bottle of Color Club Electronica and I used China Glaze Ink to darken the color, since I didn't have a black creme to do it with.

A review on the ManGlaze Frankenjuggs will follow in the future :)

Franken - Potter's Purple

Hi all!

So today I have something for you that was a gift from my friend Michelle. She made me a beautiful franken so that's what I'm going to show you today!

Potter's Purple, three coats in indirect sunlight. Do you see Michelle? I made you a label! :D Potter's purple is a medium purple, dusty holographic polish with aqua/blue colored flakies. Can you see she combined the things that I love in polish to make one awesome one? It's not too holo, just how I like it.. She even named it after my favorite book/movie series; Harry Potter. I'm a real Harry Potter nerd as you'll probably have noticed so the name suits perfectly as well :)

Let's take a look at some more pics! I took a couple, they're reflecting the process from "in the shadow" to "in full sunlight". Please click on the pictures to enlarge!





Is that gorgeous or what?!

Application was good! The polish was easy to work with and drying time was fairly quick.. I can't think of any downside of this polish! Michelle, you made me an awesome polish and I will definitely be wearing this a lot <3 Now, if you'll excuse me.. I'm off to a bit of staring at my polish in the sun ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
