So much to do this weekend and I got lost in the mess!
I did manage to do my 1st good Franken polish! I am just not good at messing with a premade formula.
So I followed some simple steps given to me by the awesome flinty of Polish or Perish (a fabulous blog).
Well amazingly it turned out beautiful and I wish I could capture it on camera better but I suck so these are the best that I could do.
It's actually a more minty green with insane gold shimmer.
This is closer to the actual color.
Yep can't get the damn gold shimmer to show for the life of me!
Oh and how cool is this...
My sweet Husband won this for me, cuz he is awesome like that!
It actually pumps the punch up and out through the eye sockets and comes with a hand (pun intended) skeleton hand ladel! This will be a permenant dinning room table decoration!
OH I did make an eye shadow to match my nail polish and if my allergies will cooperate I'll do an eye look with it to show you!
That punch bowl is wild! Good time of year to collect all the kinds of things that you like for decorations. Your franken did turn out beautifully. An eyeshadow to match would be nice.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make them? I can see the gold flash in the picture.
Thank You Lucy!
ReplyDeleteYes I love hitting the after Halloween clearances for my home decor. (I really do this, lol)
Here is what I used to make the polish:
3/4 bottle of Wet n wild clear
almost 1/4 bottle of WetnWild white
about 1/2 gram of bright green pigment.
1/8 Gram of gold flake powder.
add Stainless Steel balls and shake it like you mean it!
Love the punch bowl, that's great! Your Franken is stunning. Such a pretty shade and I love the shimmer, it's luminous.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! Minty green is my favorite nail color.
ReplyDeleteThat punch thing is great! My husband would flip for it! Our house is all decked out for Halloween, but then we never do anything for Christmas haha
