Let's be real, I've been a bit busy. While I work on a more substantial post, here is some spam!!!
If you don't own China Glaze - Cowgirl Up YOU NEED TO.
I mean LOOK.
It's amaze-balls, correction ...cowgirl-balls.
Almost equally as awesome is China Glaze - Heart of Africa.
It is deep, more burgundy, not quite a duochrome like Cowgirl Up, but still rich and delicious.
I really loved wearing this mani. It was so fun. :D
It makes me think of cotton candy and balloons!
Revlon - Whimsical over Color Club - Take me to your Chateau
(2 coats of each)
Color Club - Fashion Addict
Of course every time I wear Fashion Addict the sun hides. Finally I got lucky, this is the one and only pitiful picture I took. Must re-wear.
L.A. Colors - Treasure Island (BCC 556)
This glitter is beautiful, but sparse. I layered at least three coats (my memory fails me as this was probably a year ago) over L.A. Colors Atomic.
An older OPI - Wanted...Red or Alive
I'll leave you with a few shots of Soul Train from the 70's. I am so grateful for the entertainment my antenna picks up!
A dude wearing a boxing get up, gloves included, doing a head stand move.
Then there was this epic dance off. Two dudes with serious moves.
Somehow in the midst of all the excitement his shirt came off.
We were all ecstatic. LOL
He then started brushing his teeth with a large over sized toy toothbrush. The pictures didn't come out, but I was all O.O
Nails, Life, and more nails. Not so much a nail polish obsession, but more of a nail care obsession.

Disappointment makes for good frankening
This franken was inspired by my slight disappointment in Zoya's Ki. Well maybe disappointment is a strong word. Let's just say I had an expectation it didn't live up to.
Over 10 years ago I had this seriously delicious duochrome. It was like Ki, but better. The flashes were a deep dark green and a purple/brown/burgundy. I don't even remember who made it. It was either Naturistics or Sally Hansen. I feel like Scrangie might have this old fart. *note to self, send her an email.
I didn't try to copy my memory of that polish, only see what I could do with Ki.
This is what I came up with.
I'm wearing underwear with this one.
L.A. Colors - Nuclear Energy
This is such a yummy purple jelly. I wore this alone for two weeks straight. This is three coats in sunlight.
This is in natural light.
Then a coat or two of the franken.
I would say it looks like this most of the time straight on.
BUT then as soon as you start maneuvering your hands we get some pretty color change and sparkle.
In the sun.

Again I suck at measuring anything to give you a true recipe, but here is what I used to make this franken
Scherer Chameleon - Blue Sky and Calypso
Zoya - Ki
Milani - 83 Neon Lites
Zoya - Yasmeen
Whatcha think?
