My franken(:

You know the franken I blogged about last week? (HERE) Well, I finally got around to swatching it and it's gorgeous(:





This is three coats of my franken. All coats were smooth except for the time where it got a little lumpy due to the flakies. After about 3 coats the flakies are everywhere so it looks nice(: Dry time was a little slow though. I didn't apply a topcoat before I stamped just because I didn't think it would dry.

Speaking of stamping...





The "lighter" photos were taken outside under a tree, see how different the colors look?? It's a lot more green in real life. I really like my skin color in the lighter photos but the colors are off :(

I have been wanting to use the cool snakeskin print on my new BM plates and I thought this was the perfect opportunity. 

What do you think I should name my franken?? Overall, I think the color and the stamp is very cute, what about you??

My First Franken

I have had this bottle of NYX Pink Avenue for a while but I never use it. It's a flakie but there just ISN'T enough of them in there. I also had this pretty teal color that I love but I have one similar to it so I decided to mix them together and this is how it turned out...




I haven't swatched it yet but I plan to soon(: I actually "demo-ed" it on my thumb and it was kind of lumpy (because of the flakes) but hopefully it won't do that when real swatching time comes around.

For this I poured about 1/4 Sally Hansen The Real Teal into a full bottle of NYX Pink Avenue. I mixed and mixed and viola! This baby was born.

Not sure how I feel about this yet... what are your thoughts?
