Franken craze

So last Monday, I did the frankenbeige mani and I got a strange craving to make more frankenpolishes! weird, huh?! Even had dreams about some...Hey, I never said I was normal! I really wanted to find a way of thanking a friend of mine...she is always sharing her polish goodies and giving me the ones that don't seem to like her skin tone...I love it! So I started playing...

The colors I used are in the top picture, and the finished little bottle of glitz is the the second. I had to ask for help naming it, though. Berry Blingfest!

Frankenbeige Mani

I have learned the hard way I probably don't want to franken any more browns, lol! I took way too many colors in an attempt to make a different shade of brown and almost tossed the mess. But then on a whim, I poured a bunch of french mani white in with the leftovers and WOW, I found one I really love! It went on in one coat like a dream...

Then I decided to stamp with my new bundlemonster plates...again...so many choices, but I went with this one...



I stamped with Sally Hansen's Black Out and then put on some of Essie's Matte About you...I really liked it-very different for me. These are my right and left hands respectively. I had to trim my nails shorter after wresting with the lawnmower for the first time after my shoulder surgery. What do you think of this look?(stamping, not the short nails, lol)

Green-Blue peacock mani

I combined a few colors at my oldest daughter's request and it turned out very cool looking UNTIL I stamped it! My konad stamping silver has gotten so thick that it's pretty useless. I have added some polish thinner, but I don't know if that will work...On to the weird results!
I started out with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Last chance, a pretty dark green creme. I sponged SH Black Out over the tips, and then sponged a bit of Sally Hansen's Blue-It over the black, just enough that you could see all 3 colors.

Here is just the black sponged on...hard to see!

Here is all three. The blue seems to make the black stand out more. Good thing!

I really should have stopped there, because by the time I realized what the Konad polish was doing-too darn late (Bundle Monster 212 I think).  After the first finger, most of the polish didn't even come off the stamping pad and I am pretty darn fast with this stuff. Plus, the lines of the design, which were very fine and pretty, look thicker, almost blurred. All in all not quite a mani fail...but darn close in my book!

This one turned out the best except that I misjudged the size/orientation, grrrr! Not a bad recovery, with the side stripe :0)
