First, has anyone seen these striping polishes? I would have passed on them, but I noticed that they were made by Diamond Cosmetics, so figured I would give them a try.
Then I noticed a plethora of these boring Wet N Wild multi packs. So dull, blah blah, but wait, at least 6 of them could be good for frankening! Built in shimmer? Check. Light enough color to not interfere with added pigment? (the middle four) Check. For four bucks, I couldn't go too wrong, right?
I decided to try frankening with glitter.
Started with this glitter and this bottle.
Poured out about 1/3 of the polish into any empty bottle for later use. Added glitter. Mira!
Swatched on a tip - one coat
Two coats:
And with topcoat:
Whaddya think?
Ooh nice! I think it turned out pretty good.
ReplyDeleteooo I really like how this turned out! great job!
ReplyDeleteOh that came out great! I hate going into my Big Lots *it smells funny*, but I'll do it these...Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think I need to go Big Lots!!
ReplyDeleteThat came out fabulous!! Great job - and it comes with a funnel too!! :-)
Jackie S - it's not just your Big Lots that smells funny - I think its a store requirement!!
Nice! It came out really nice :D
ReplyDeleteSweet! I saw that Wet n Wild nail pack too and I also thought 'boring' but now I will have to get a few! Your franken looks great :D
ReplyDeleteMy BL doesn't smell.....
Haha! Looks like we have to take a survey on which stores are smelly and which aren't! For the record, this one doesn't smell. Nor did the one in the area I used to live in.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the glitter there though - that was purchased last year at Walmart (love the funnel!). I recently picked up some at Joann's as well.
I like the fraken! I haven't tried frakening yet though :< I'm too scared to use a lot or half of my nail polish to fraken haaha! But I do have small spoons of fyrinnaes that I bought :D
ReplyDeleteNice haul and great frankening. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who has or hasn't entered BUT I'm having a brand new giveaway on my blog.
