Things, big and small

Hello LOODIE! ... Click on that for a background story so you don't think I am just shouting my blog name randomly.

I am working on some things, BIG things. It will continue to be cricket noises around here as I don't see how it will be possible to post very much until after April 1. No worries! It all has to do with big positive things in life! :D

Now on to the small things in life that bring me joy....

Here are a few manicures I've worn since I've gone MIA:

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.
franken stuff
















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?
