Today's post is one that I have been struggling with and contemplating for awhile; months in fact. So, after giving it ALOT of thought, I have decided to close up shop here at the FrankenFemme blog. I still am a polish girl through and through but I feel like my priorities have changed (due to my hectic personal life/blog related problems) and it's not fair to string anyone along when my heart is just not in it anymore. I truly cherish all the lovely ladies I have met along the way. You can bet I will still be around to bug you on your blogs ;^) Also, I have decided that I will still be around on IG so find me <a href="http://instagram.com/frankenfemme">there if you wanna</a>. Just a word of warning, that account with include personal photos, nail art, polish, AND frankens. But either way, I would love to keep in touch with you! I will also keep my blog up and my e-mail active for awhile in case you have any questions or just want to say hello!
I wish everyone nothing but the best in your polish (and life) endeavours and if you take nothing from this blog, just remember to always keep it classy and creative!

I put out a request awhile ago on a nail FB group asking for some indies with exceptional customer service (feel free to throw out some names!). One of the suggestions from someone was a brand called Drip Drop Nail Paint. I hadn't heard of them before so I checked them out. While on their website, I found that they offered a grab bag of 3 full sized random prototype polishes for $12. That seemed like a ridiculous deal so you better believe I was on that like white on rice. Today I have prototype #307 to show you today</div>

This polish has a sky blue base with very slight grey and green undertones. There's also the addition of blue and purple micro glitters with what I think is a smattering of holo. Squeeeee, sounds amazing!</div>

Swatches show two thick coats of prototype #307 and one coat of fast dry top coat. Formula was thick in the easily spreadable way. I had no issues with dragging, balding, or pooling. I didn't test dry time as I immediately slapped some top coat on that bad boy. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really enjoy this polish and I thought I was pretty lucky to get sent this polish randomly. Now for the down side, because this is a prototype, you can't just go onto the website and pick it up. However, given the quick shipping and exceptional formula, I definitely suggest checking out Drip Drop Nail Paint to see if anything tickles your fancy. If you do, lemme know what you think!</div>

Well that's all for today, see you next time for more FrankenFemme goodness! But until then, remember to keep it classy and creative :)</div>

Here we are at another Monday and you know what I spent my weekend doing? Nothing. I did nothing and it was pretty much the best thing ever. This was the first weekend that I didn't go in to work and get extra stuff done. While I might regret it this week, it was totally worth it. Did anyone else do anything fun?<br />
<br />
So, for today's polish, I'm actually kind of obsessed<br />

This holo multi chrome goodness started with TKB Luster base with 3 drops of thinned out TKB Black Nail Polish Colorant added in. Next, I added 3 drops of size 14 Spectraflair in base from Spectraflair4u. Finally, I added 2 small scoops of purple/blue/green multi chrome glitter from Misfits on 8th.</div>

Swatches show two thick coats plus fast dry top coat. However, even without the topcoat, the polish was relatively smooth. The color changing glitter was very obvious in artificial and low lighting while the holo was drop dead linear in the sun. Be-yoo-tee-FULL. I love it. I actually did my nails using this franken while I was visiting in Colorado and a friend who saw the polish all but forced me to do her nails too. I'm telling you friends, this may be a full size bottle franken. I see myself using this baby a lot.</div>

This one had me STUMPED. First because I had never seen this movie (for the record it is about a man with physical deformities trying to make it through life wanting to be normal) and second, how do I turn a concept like that into a presentable polish?!?! Welp, I cheated. THERE I SAID IT! I couldn't very well make a fug polish to show you guys! Therefore, I made a polish and used it in a concept mani. But first, let's start with the franken shall we?<br />

As for the franken, I started with Misfits on 8th matte base. Next, I added 3 drops of a thinned out Vanti 805 brown colorant. I then followed it up with 2 drops of TKB's franken white polish colorant. Finally, I added 2 small scoops each of Gold Flakies and Sparkling Taupe Micro Flakies from Glitter Unique</div>

So, I started this mani by attaching some small circular rhinestones and neon studs to my bare nail in a random fashion using clear polish. Then, because I wanted to get rid of the neon color of the stud, I applied two coats of white polish. I finished the mani off with two generous coats of the Elephant Man polish to give the look of skin tone with bumps and deformities. Crazy, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the record, here is the same polish top coated. Looks so different!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The topcoat definitely helps the flakies and the shimmer stand out more. Personally, I prefer it top coated. Formula was super easy though and didn't drag with the thick coats I used. It was opaque at 2 coats for me. Dry time was average to quick as mattes often are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, there you have it, my crazy Elephant Man mani! What do you think? I don't think I could ever rock this again honestly, lol. Either way I hope you liked it and I also hope to see you around next time for more polish adventures! But until then, remember to keep it classy and creative!</div>

Jay and Silent Bob are a highly offensive (albeit hilarious) duo of characters that frequent Kevin Smith films (Kevin Smith also happens to be Silent Bob). Now what are these totally righteous dudes famous for in their movies? Being straight up stoners. Yup, that's it. Please note that I do not condone the use of illegal drugs but it is amusing to watch in a fiction setting. See if you can figure out the inspiration for today's polish!<br />

Swatches show two thick coats and one coat of top coat. You guessed right, the inspiration was weed, really, how could it be anything else with Jay and Silent Bob? So this is the linear holo weed colored goodness. Formula is super easy and self levels like a champ! There is a very subtle shift in the polish that comes from the Aisha Gold shimmer. This one is another hit with me. Partially because it's kind of similar to <a href="http://frankenfemme.blogspot.com/2014/03/luck-of-irish-pic-heavy.html" target="_blank">another polish</a> I made. Eh, whatever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, that's all for Jay and Silent Bob, see you around for the final installment of Stump the Femme. Lemme warn you, this one is weird! But until then, remember to keep it classy and creative! </div>

Today's Stump the Femme winner is Fern Gully and I could not be more thrilled. I wanted to BE Crysta growing up as a kid. I would totally get down with my acting chops pretending I was flitting through the forest with Batty (voiced by Robin Williams). I was definitely a dork growing up; but I was a forest fairy dork so it was all good.<br />
<br />
Anywho, let's check out today's interpretation of the movie Fern Gully shall we?<br />

As always, I started this polish with TKB Glamour Base. Next I added 2-3 drops of Vanti 805 green base. Then, I added two small scoops of .008 green holo hex from YouMix, one small scoop of .015 lime green holo hex from YouMix, one small scoop Misfits on 8th purple/blue/green multi chrome glitter, one small scoop Misfits on 8th red/blue/purple multi chrome glitter, and one small scoop of Glitter Unique's .004 shifting rainbow hex. </div>

My thought process behind this was to create a predominantly forest green color and then use the multi chrome and iridescent glitters to represent the sun peeking through the trees and hitting the tropical multi colored flowers. I kind of love it. Swatches show two thick coats. The green is super saturated and the glitter spread relatively easily. However, due to the high glitter content, the formula was a little thick, but still super easy to control. Swatches show one thick coat of top coat and the polish itself was actually much smoother than I thought it would be.</div>

Swatches show one coat over Monday's Snow Globe franken plus fast dry top coat. The polish was thick due to the glitter but spread super easily on the nail. The shreds did require SOME placement, but it was pretty minimal. Everything was relatively smooth after one coat of top coat. This top coat was super sparkly and all the holo caught the light and it was amazing!</div>

Since the concept is widely unattainable, I attempted to make a white linear holo, but I did mine with a little flair. I started this polish off with TKB Glamour Base, I then added one medium scoop of TKB Noble sparks (which are a silvery white shimmer), 4 drops of thinned out TKB White Nail Polish Colorant, one medium scoop Glitter Unique Rainbow Pearl Tiny Flakes (which are predominantly white but flash colors of blue, red, purple, and gold in the right lighting), and finally, 6 drops Spectraflair4u size 14 w/ base.</div>

The last photo is probably the most accurate in terms of color. Due to the fact that the Spectraflair is grey, it casts a light grey into the white base. Therefore, this polish is walking the very fine line between white and a very light grey. However, it's close enough to white that I am happy with the base color. Plus, the linear holo and the teeeeeeeeny tiny multicolored flakies make this polish so complex. The last pic shows a little of the flakies but my camera did not want to pick up on their multi colored goodness. Now for the formula, not gonna lie it was kind of a pain in the butt. If I did not polish carefully, the polish would pull up in places if I went over it twice with my brush. I do understand that it was probably my fault as I tried to load all the pigment and flakies I could into it. I think a little bit of thinner would go a long way in this baby. That being said, swatches show two coats plus fast dry top coat.<br />
<br />
Well, that's all for today my dears! Hope you have an easy start to your week! See you next time for more franken goodness! But until then, remember to keep it classy and creative!<br />

Happy Friday my lovely lacqueristas! Hope everyone's week has been treating them well. I've been in Colorado since Tuesday and so far I have LOVED it! I know a lot of your were so sick of it by the end of this winter, but I got to see snow for the very first time…. at age 28. Crazy right? Anywho, let's get into this week's franken pretty! This one started off with TKN Luster base. Then I added 2 drops of Vanti805's brown oxide which I cut with some base and thinner to extend the life of the color. Next, added one small scoop each of TKB Bronze Reflecks, Burning Leaves, Copper Reflecks, Gold Reflecks, and Coastal Scents Bordeaux Glitter.</div>

Swatches show, I believe, 3 coats plus top coat. Formula was buttery smooth, thick, and easily spread! It is a little textured from the Reflecks so I do recommend top coat! Now, for those of you that have followed me long enough, you may notice this polish is similar to another polish I had made awhile back</div>

Today's franken has more coppery yellow undertones and is definitely a cooler toned polish. So dupes, no, but cousins, absolutely!<br />
<br />
Well my loves, I hope you have a wonderful week and remember to keep it classy and creative!<br />

We all have our vices (nail polish anyone?) and one of mine definitely has to be soda. It's already getting pretty warm here in Florida with our highs getting up almost to the 90's. What better way to combat the heat than with an ice cold glass of I dunno, Dr. Pepper? Oh, and air conditioning too, definitely air conditioning. </div>

Swatches show two thick coats plus one coat of fast dry top coat. I really liked the way that all the ingredients came together in this polish to make inn cohesive color. Is it spring appropriate? Meh. Is it super hanging on the edge of your seat exciting? Not so much. However, I love the color and sometimes you need just a little bit of simplicity. The polish was a little patchy on the first coat, but went on smoothly</div>

Hello my dears and hopefully you have had a wonderful start to your week! It has been a little hectic in the Femme household as we were getting ready for an upcoming trip to Denver, Colorado to go meet some friends. As I type to you now I am flying somewhere over the US. Now, I would be lying to you if I said I loved flying because I absolutely positively do NOT. So let me tell you, I am not having fun right now. But there is nothing like a little blogging to take your mind off the unimportant things…. like plummeting to your death :)</div>

I started this polish of as usual, with TKB Luster Base. I followed it up with 6 drops of thinned out black nail polish colorant. I then added multiple drops ( I MAY have lost count) of Spectrflair4u's blue/red chromaflair in base. Finally, I added 2 small scoops of Misfits on 8th red/blue/purple multi chrome glitter.</div>

The multi chrome glitter is in there, did ya catch it??</div>
<br />
<div>

<div>
This polish is super shifty but overall I'm a little disappointed. I was really hoping to have a shifting base with obvious shifting multichrome glitter suspended in it but I wasn't quite able to achieve that. It definitely wasn't the glitter's fault, that stuff is glorious! Maybe being less heavy handed with the chromaflair pigment? Hey, at least the formula was easy. I was able to get it opaque in two coats and swatches show the polish with an extra coat of fast dry top coat. </div>

<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Different Dimension has been around for awhile and is definitely one of the bigger name indie polishes right now. So why oh why did I wait so long to get my grubby little hands on one? I just bought my first Different Dimension recently and see this polish line becoming a huge problem for my wallet…. seriously…. and intervention may be needed…. or chaining me to a chair, whatever. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I have Have a Grape Day to show you! This polish is a purple (cold) to blue (warm) thermal change polish with added shimmer. The maker Missi did mention that the polish can be a little sheer so an extra coat may be needed. Now, my polish niche is totally jewel toned colors for the most part (you would not believe how much I often have to hold myself back from making EVERY.FRANKEN.EVER. a color on this spectrum. Self restraint people!). This polish is so undeniably "me" it hurts. But in the best way possible ;^)</div>

Swatches show 3 coats plus top coat and indeed, there is still some visible nail line. However, it is more apparent with the blue than the purple. Formula was thick in an awesome way and smoothed on like lotion to a baby's bottom (that'd be smoothly for the unimaginative ones). I didn't really test dry time as I am a firm believer in the religion of fast dry top coats (hallelujah!). The thermal shift was not hard to see if your nails were past the tips of your fingers. However, those of you with nubbins may have to properly enjoy your polish when touching warm and cold objects. Either way, I love this polish and I see myself wearing this a lot. Well done Different Dimension!</div>

Swatches show three coats plus fast dry top coat. As for the formula, this one did require a little more….. finesse? The mini holo stars are lovely and I hoped they would be easier to get out of a polish bottle given the smaller size. The good news? They are a little easier. The bad news? They are still kind of a pain in the butt and require a little work to get them out of the bottle and place them on the nail. Given that I make all my frankens in mini bottles, it would likely be easier to get stars like these out of full sized bottles. Not only that, but the stars are heavier and do tend to migrate south. This is easily fixed by a quick roll of the polish bottle in your hand but I know a good bit of you would not think this was worth the trouble. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, this is the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star personified. However, if were to use it again, I would probably just do one or two quick coats over black. I dig it, I just think it can be tweaked a bit.</div>

Monday already? Where does the time go? We spent our weekend in Orlando visiting friends, so it's always hard to return from the land of the magical Mouse (hint, his name may or may not rhyme with Nikki!). It was nice to get out of town for a bit and just enjoy the nice mind clearing effect that has. Staying in a hotel shaped like a castle didn't hurt either…. :)<br />
<br />
So while it was pretty difficult to come back from a great weekend, at least I have an awesome pretty to help shoulder some of the burden!<br />

I believe swatches show 3 coats plus top coat. Formula was easily spread with some very minor drag issues if I didn't watch what I was doing. But, it wasn't enough to really bug me. The flakies were wicked apparent and almost gave the polish a somewhat gemstone look to them. But overall, the polish reminded me of gold doubloons shining in the crystal blue Caribbean waters (you can totally picture it can't you??). There was no problem with self leveling. However, due to the semi neon nature of the powder pigment, the polish did dry a bit dull.</div>

Well that's all for Hidden Treasure! I've posted two blue polishes in a row, so we'll see what I can do about changing that up for the next franken. Hope you all have a wonderful day and until next time, remember to keep it classy and creative!</div>

Hopefully you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was great for the most part but due to a change in my medications, I've been having an increase in migraine headaches.

This polish started with TKB Glamour base. Next I followed it up with one small scoop each of TKB Her Majesty and Turquoise Tweak Reflecks. Next, I added on medium scoop of Glitter Unique <a href="http://www.glitterunique.com/product-p/blkopl.htm" target="_blank">Black Opal Mix</a> with all it's black and iridescent goodness. Next, I added one small scoop of Glitter Unique .004 Periwinkle hexes. Finally, I finished it off with 6 drops of Spectraflair4u's size 14 holo for some awesome linear dimension!</div>

I know it's hard to tell, but this polish is VERY linear and it throws some serious rainbows. Swatches show three coats plus fast dry top coat. Despite the glitter, the polish spread like a boss and was smoother than I thought it would be. I love how it is so easy to see both the glitter and the holo making it a double whammy of sorts!</div>

Here we have two coats of my sheer tint dupes over another 2 coats of an off white cream and one coat of fast dry topcoat to seal it in (I dinged a couple nails, oops). Are they exactly the same? Pssssssh, nope. But they are close enough to satisfy me without having to buy the real thing. The best news? Nearly all of the ingredients came from drugstore polish, WOOT! I will have the recipes listed here by number:</div>

2. Purple Sheer Tint- TKB Glamour Base, 6 drops L'oreal Berry Nice (I know I know, this was already a jelly so I kinda cheated), and 2 drops Essie DJ Play That Song</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Teal Sheer Tint (and by far the biggest pain in my rear end)- TKB Glamour Base, 4 drops L'oreal Miss Pixie, one drop Essie Naughty Nautical, one drop Milani Fresh Teal, and one drop Fringer Paints Tough Art to Follow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Amber Sheer Tint- TKB Glamour Base, one drop TKB Basic Yellow Jellie (this was thinned and surprisingly, pretty much the only yellow I have), and 4 drops LA Colors unnamed orange from a Ross set</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So there you have it, your very own sheer tints! While I love you, I will not be linking the resources where I purchased these ingredients partially because I don't entirely remember, and partially because there are 182453201945 ingredients. </div>

Here is a full swatch mani along with an accent nail in which I simply just swiped each different color randomly on the nail (over the same off white base color).</div>

Because of it being a jelly, the formula was super easy and like buttah! Despite those swatch photos, my white was a bit shimmery and it is showing through the color. With the exception of the amber, my orange also had shimmer so you may be able to see that a bit in swatch photos. So good news, they are relatively close, the bad news, they look to be sheerer than the sheer tints. But whatevs, I still like the overall look of the mani (bubbles and all). By the way, I was trying to test out my speed mani skills last night and ended up with so many bubbles, I looked like I was scuba diving. Anywho, I think frankening like this has a lot of potential. Can you imagine neon sheer tints for summer?? OOOOOOh!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well that's all for today my friends. See you back next time for more franken awesomeness! But until then, I leave you with an additional photo and a reminder to always keep it classy and creative!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello my friends! I ended up taking the rest of the week off from blogging. The last post was surprisingly difficult for me; so between that and a couple migraines, I was out of commission for a bit. But, I am back and refreshed! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Anyone been keeping up with the Walking Dead? If so, what did you think of the season finale last night? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So for today's pretty, I bring you another Alchemy Lacquer (sick of them yet? Didn't think so!) This lovely lady is called Snowberry</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

This gorgeous polish has a silver foil base with multiple sizes of medium blue holo hexes. All swatches show two thick coats plus fast dry top coat to speed up dry time. The finish to this was surprisingly smooth even without top coat.</div>

Check out the shiny foil goodness and the way it plays with the blue holo, gah, I lurrrrve it! This is not one of those polishes that needs full sun to keep it complex. Fomula was buttery smooth and easily spreadable. Seriously, perfection.</div>

If stuff like this tends to make you uncomfortable, I suggest you skip this post.<br />
<br />
Most of you know me as a blogger, some of you know me also as a friend. What pretty much no one knows is in 2007, I had an older sister that passed away from complications of longer term kidney disease. She was 27 and I was still in college. She passed away in July and that day is always hard for me. But you know what is harder? Her birthday. That day is today. While it is extremely difficult and still somewhat surreal to lose someone so young (my little sister was around 11 when it happened), I still thank God that I was able to experience what little time I was able to with her…. even if she was a butthead….. a lot…. like, A LOT. So today, rather than go through the day ducking my head and avoiding people as much as possible without being rude (that's not the way I want t o honor someone), I decided to make a polish in her favorite color, purple. As weird as it sounds, this color has become very important to me and is even going to be one of my wedding colors! So let's check out what I simply called, Rachel's Polish<br />
<br />

This lacquer, as usual, started out with TKB Luster base. I followed it up by adding 2 small scoops of TKB EZB 82nd Avenue (a bright neon pink toned purple powder mica), 2.5 small scoops of TKB EZB College Blue (a bright neon mid toned blue powder pigment), 2 drops of thinned down TKB white nail polish colorant to help make the polish opaque, 3/4 of a small scoop of TKB Green Sparks! shimmer, and one small scoop of TKB Cherika Moon (larger particle shimmer which shifts from blue to purple to red to orange).</div>

Couple things, this polish is definitely a bit more neon pink toned but my camera was having none of that. Also, at extreme angles, you could catch the shimmer shift to a badass neon pink but again, the camera was all NOPE. That being said, I definitely like the blue shimmer as it is. Swatch shows 3 coats w/ minimal VNL, plus top coat. Formula was partly between thick and thin and super easy to spread. Dry time was not tested due to the use of fast dry top coat but I did dent my nails about an hour later still (drat!). I love how I was able to combine the purple that my sister loves with the blues and the greens that I love. I think this polish turned out well and I intend to wear it when we go out to dinner tonight to her favorite restaurant!</div>

Well, that's all for now! I hope you liked Rachel's polish, I'm sure she would have! See you around next time for more franken creations! But until then, remember to keep it classy and creative!</div>

This monstrosity started with TKB Luster Base. Next, 2 drops of TKB Black Nail Polish Colorant was added followed by 12-14 drops of Magic Diamond nail polish (a silver foil franken base). Then, I added 3 small scoops of TKB EZB 82nd Ave powder pigment (an almost neon pink toned purple color). Lastly, I added 2 medium scoops of Glitter Unique's .035 Blue-Green Iridescent Squares.</div>

It is tough to pin down the colors in this beauty as there is pretty much every color ever in there (with some possible holo). All I know is this thing sparkles more than an effeminate vampire in broad daylight AND I LOVE IT. Swatches show two thick coats and while the macro does make it look like there is not enough coverage, it definitely did not look like that in real life. To the naked eye this thing is full coverage and gorgeous. Fast dry top coat was added to aid in smoothness. It was smooth after one coat of topcoat as the microglitters were small enough to keep from any major to coat eating. Formula was thick due to the serious glitter saturation but super easy to spread. There were no leveling issues.</div>

However, for this St. Patrick's Day we are picking up the torch our friends passed off of having an all green breakfast for St. Patty's Day Saturday (even though the holiday is actually Monday) complete with this <a href="http://www.endlesssimmer.com/2013/03/12/are-you-feelin-lucky-punk-lucky-charms-milkshake-cocktail/" target="_blank">amazing looking concoction</a>. So, in order to properly commemorate our first green breakfast, I decided to make a St. Patrick's Day Nail Polish!<br />

Because I knew I would be using this for a few manis, I went for broke and made a full size bottle. Proportions will be adjusted accordingly. I started off with 3/4 of a bottles worth of TKB Luster Base. Then I added 8-10 drops of Vanti805's Green Blend liquid pigment (this is a mid toned slightly yellow green) which I have cut with a bit of Luster Base and nail polish thinner and 4 drops TKB Black Nail Polish Colorant to darken up the base and prepare for the holo (which will lighten up a base color). Next, I added multiple drops (lost count!) of liquid Spectraflair size 14 holo pigment. Lastly, I added one small scoop each of TKB Gold Reflecks micro glitter and Shanira Sun (gold to green to blue shifting) glass fleck like powder. And now, I bombard you with photos!</div>

Swatches show two easy coats with no clean up! I added one coat of top coat for shine and to help my lucky mani last. Swatches are actually a full 24 hours after my nails were painted and there is pretty much no tip wear. This polish throws fiery rainbows in the sun and the color shifting glass fleck keeps the polish from being too boring in low light. It's not a typical color for me to where, but I am absolutely and totally in love with it. I will wear this many times that is FO SHO.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also a quick note, this is the first time I've really been able to play with the Spectraflair suspend in a base and it is fantastic. It comes with a dropette but I find that it wastes more product than I wanted so I prefer to pour it drop by drop directly from the bottle.</div>

Well that's all for Luck of the Irish. What do you think? Do you have any special mani plans for St. Patty's Day? Anywho, hope to see you back next time for more polish awesomeness! But until then, remember to keep it classy and creative!</div>

I just asked my fiancé for some help with the inspiration and he just told me to think of him, lol. This writer's block is kind of embarrassing… so rather than sit here and bask in my awkwardness, let's skip straight into today's franken!<br />

This polish is very similar to <a href="http://frankenfemme.blogspot.com/2014/03/gilded-plus-im-part-of-surprise.html" target="_blank">the one from Monday</a> in the way it was made. I started out with TKB Luster base and then added one medium scoop of Coastal Scents Antique Silver powder mica. Next, I added 3 small scoops of TKB Turquoise Tweak (Reflecks micro glitter). Finally, to help give it more dimension, I finished the polish off with 3/4 of a small scoop of Coastal Scents Crystal Blue (a white larger powdered mica with medium blue interference).</div>

The Reflecks were spectacular at adding a bit of sparkle and a TON of dimension to the polish. I also real like that it pulled the antique silver color slightly blue. Swatches show two thick coats plus one coat of fast dry top coat. Despite the microglitter, the polish did dry surprisingly smooth. Top coat was just used for the speeding up process. The polish was easily spread and it self leveled on it's own. No pooling or dragging! </div>

Did anyone else do anything exciting?<br />
<br />
Let's get into today's franken and then I will introduce you to the awesome giveaway I am taking part in! Gilded might be a bit of a give away of what this polish is about, but just in case there is any question…<br />

This polish starts with TKB Luster base (about 3/4 of a mini bottle's worth). Then I added 3 drops of TKB Basic Yellow Jellie colorant (which had been thinned out with polish thinner to make for easier mixing). Finally, I added 3 small scoops of TKB Pinky Pink Reflecks micro glitter, one small scoop Coastal Scents Bordeaux Glitter (a dark wine red color), and 2 medium scoops Coastal Scents 24 Karat Gold Mica (which is more of a yellow/orange antique gold mica powder)</div>

The base of this polish is definitely an orangey tinged gold color. However, the Reflecks and glitter add dimension to the polish and help it look more multifaceted and interesting. Swatches show two coats plus fast dry top coat. There were no issues with the formula. This is not the most flattering on my skin tone, but I dig the concept!</div>

THAT, my friends, is creativity at it's finest. Consider yourselves lucky that I'm sharing it with you. Lol, who am I kidding? That's terrible. Hopefully you can make it past the name long enough to check out the actual redeeming qualities of this beauty! Of course, I could play it off like a Golden Corral restaurant joke, but Lord knows that place is NOT funny…. *shudder*<br />

I started this polish off with TKB Luster Base. I next added one drop of TKB Basic Red Nail Polish Colorant to tint the base a red jelly color. Finally, I added 2 medium scoops of Glitter Unique's Rose Gold micro flakies and one medium scoop of TKB Gold Reflecks. When all was said and done, I created a pinky red coral with gold micro flakies!</div>

Photos show the polish as a little more orange toned than it really is. But this thing is gorgeous! Oh, the feels! There is this gorgeous soft gold shifter coming from the reflecks and the microflakies add some awesome dimension. Swatches show two coats plus fast dry top coat. Formula self leveled like a boss and there were no problems with dragging or balding. Such a lovely juicy color for when the weather warms up! What do you think?</div>

Not that you've asked for an update, but we've started the beginning phases of planning the wedding and so far we have settled on a cruise in mid 2015. I've never been on a cruise wedding so I'm super stoked! Have you ever been on one? It almost seems ridiculous to talk about a cruise with all that polar nonsense going on, but a girl can dream right?<br />
<br />
Enough of my babbling…. for now, let's check out today'd franken!<br />

It's like a little glitter party on mah nails! The gun metal color of the base acts as a perfect contrast to the matte multicolored glitter. Swatches show three coats which were buttery smooth. Formula was manageably thick and easily spread. The mani was topped off with one coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat.</div>
