New things ahead....yay!

Hey there lovely people! How are you all tonight? I have had a pretty rough day with the kids today, and I am so looking forward to my day alone tom. My husband doesn't know the extent of my outing tom, but It entails a new 'Do! (Hair-do) I am going to get side swipe bangs, I can't decide between these two: ONE or TWO. What do you think? Here is my picture my hair is a tad shorter and of course a diff color :) but generally the same style...don't laugh at my silly picture :)

I created a one of a kind polish for a birthday group buddy of mine Yezenia, and I had so much left over base color, because I couldn't get it right, that I made up two quick glitter's with the leftover:

Ocean Party

Ocean Party

Ocean Party

Ocean Party on the left and Crusoe on the right

 These two are VERY similar, but they are different if you look at the swatches of them. Ocean party is more colorful and flakie-less and Crusoe has lots of purple flakies and gold bar glitter.

Crusoe (named after the movie The Water Horse)

Crusoe (sorry its blurry)

Crusoe

Ocean Sparkle's (I think this was what i named it) Yezenia's polish, on the left, and Candy-land, Lailaa's Polish (another one of my birthday group people)



same as above, Left is Ocean Sparkles and on the right is Candy-land

The first two frankens are actually on my blog sale if your interested in them, Ocean Party and Crusoe.

New Franken/Homemade Polish Adventure...

I'm in the process of contacting special Bloggers (special to me) to work with me in creating their own limited edition franken polish, or handmade polish. They selected blogger would work with me via email in the decision process, color combo's, ect. They even get to name it. I'm not sure how many Bloggers I will contact, I want it to be special and unique, or even how many of each polish I will make, or how they will be distributed/sold. What are your thoughts on this?

My First Franken! Taking Name submissions!

Hey there all! I finally made my franken! Whats a franken? Its a polish that you make out of other polishes you have on hand that you love or hate.....or just want to oomph up a bit! Kinda like Frankenstein, haha! 
I didn't really have an idea in my head for a particular color I was kinda just throwing in what I thought would look good. 

Here is the list of polishes that made my franken:
NYC, Starry Silver Glitter
NYC, Cashmere Creme
WNW, Blue Wants to be a Millionaire
WNW, Gray's Anatomy
WNW, Party of Five Glitters
SH XW, Gunmetal
and WNW Fantasy Makes Confetti

Its similar to Deborah Lippmanns Glitter in the Air. Although hers in more dainty, and sheerer, and less sparkle.
