Green Olive Gold? Franken

Whoops, editing to include the correct recipe. Maybe I shouldn't post under the influence of cold medicine...

Another franken. This one was incredibly hard to take accurate pictures of. It's an olive-green that flashes gold but also looks grassy green at certain angles. This is two parts OPI Simply Smashing, one part OPI Rally Pretty Pink, and one part Sinful Colors Black on Black (highly pigmented black creme). All under the lamp.

I turned on the vivid option on my camera to capture the golden flash. Pardon the weirdly tinted skin.

Macro:

Flecky!

I liked this franken but I don't consider it a complete success. My objective was to make Simply Smashing into something that only needed two coats. This still took three.

Hi folks!

Okay, I have a gold-esque? franken to show today. I eyeballed all of this: About equal parts Sinful Black on Black, clear, gold body shimmer, and nail polish thinner. Cheap cosmetic powders usually require a lot of thinner. Two coats plus topcoat.

Say, anyone interested in helping me name frankens. I'm so bad coming up with names.

Natural light.

There was no sunshine the week that I made this. I did however figure out how to take closeups with flash. Goldie, see?

Batik!

I filed my nails really weirdly this time, and accidentally very short to boot! I shouldn't be allowed to operate heavy machinery... lol But I'll fix it once my nails grow out a bit. -.-

Anyway, this is Sinful Black on Black (one coat!) and stamping with an oldie, Essie Shifting Power. I did the reverse on my thumbs and ring finger (two coats Shifting Power).

It reminds me of Batik. :D
