Frankens

I'm going to share with you guys 

the frankens that I did. 

First a group pic. 

Now Luna...

I  did one coat of  Bettina #197 has a base color. 

I could have used it on it's own, 

like it's shown on the picture above,

but I did the base color just to be on the save side.

And now Camila...

I did one coat of Bettina Purple for the base

because it was a bit sheer on it's own

[flash].

Purple, blue and holo!

By now, you must know that I love doing random manis

that only match in colors and most of the nails have different things.

Well, here comes another one! 

I used Kleancolor Neon Purple, Neon Agua 

and Holo Chrome.

Some bargain shopping!

Went out yesterday to the mall just to walk around,

and I found some really cute things.

This wallet was just $7.99 @ Marshall's.

[brand]

Lily Bloom is made from recycled plastic bottles.

How cool is that?

Also I got this purse @ PacSun

for $3 + tax.

It was marked at $9.99 

and all sale items had an extra 70% off. 

It retailed for $39.99!

My first franken: Cristina

I always wanted to make a franken,

but I wasn't even sure where to start.
A couple of days ago I decided to make one.

I have made 4 already. 

It's so much fun and addicting!

I love it! 

Thanks to Désirée for the name!
It fits perfectly!

Just another pretty pink...

I wanted something bright with glitter and sparkle.

I really think I got what I wanted.

This is Finger Paints Sketched & Etched.

It's a dark fuchsia with some shimmer.

It actually is really bright in person.

The formula is really good 

and dries pretty quickly.

This is 2 coats.

I added Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia on all the nails

and Fuchsia Glitter on the ring finger.

[What I used...]

Easter mani! *edit*

Sorry for the lack of entries,

I haven't been feeling well since Tuesday. 

I have a lot of pics of manis that I have done

but still haven't edited. 

I did get around editing the Easter mani pics.

First I did the french and the accent nail
using Sinful Colors Boom Boom.

Shooting Star

This is Kleancolor Shooting Star.

It's is AMAZING!

It's has a cooper/gold jelly base 

with hex glitter in red, turquoise & yellow,

and some regular gold glitter. 

I did a gold base before adding it,

because I wasn't sure how sheer it would be. 

I used Bettina Celebrate.

Now, the glitter!

Welcome to the Candy Shop!

This is Claire's Candy Shop.

There has been a lot of fuss about

it been Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop dupe.

I would say that they have the same style.

Pink with multi-color glitter.

DL has more of a milky light pink base

and Claire's has a jelly hot pink base.

Price comparison is out of place

since there is such a difference,

so for people like me, with a low budget for buying nail polish,

it's a great way to get a similar one.

First, I added Cream Pink has a base color,

since I wasn't sure how sheer it would be.
