NAME THAT FRANKEN

It has been a while since I have made a franken and asked you all for some help in naming it. So last night I set about doing a few frankens. I came up with three that I really like. This first one is my favorite of the bunch though. Just take a look at this beauty:










Ok, honestly, how freakin' hot is this color?? It is a sort of jellish black base with blue/turquoise glitter running all through it! Only downside, even after three top coats, it is a little lumpy, grrrr! Other than that, I couldn't be more pleased.
So this is where you come in: Give me some suggestions for some names for this in the comment section. Tomorrow I will do a poll and list some of my favorites of your guesses.
****
The BF's Guess: Galactica
My guess: Beat Down or Bruised (since it is black and blue, lol)
Your guess: ??? Let me know in the comments section :)

  2. Hmmm....what about Time Travlers or Doctor Who? It's sooo pretty. It reminds me of outer space. Hence the funky space names...lol!

  3. I am thinking "Planetarium". One of my favorite museum visits. How did you make it? Did you mix a glitter polish with a dark creme?

  8. I'd name it Starry Starry Galaxy... because it's like Essie's Starry Starry night, but deeper, more mysterious, and more... spacey! :)

  13. You know what that color reminds me of? Telescope pictures of deep space nebulas. It reminds me of the blackness and stars around the nebula before you get to the brilliant colors in the nebula. Thus, I'd call it Nebula's Edge.

  16. OH MY GOSH! Brooke that franken is absolutely beautiful! I don't have a clever name you can use I just wanted to comment on the colour and say a quick HI :D

    But out of all your other suggestions I like the "Starry Night". Although it's similar to Essie's one it still sounds peaceful xx

  22. Reminds me of Iron Maiden's "2 Minutes To Midnight"! One of my favourite songs ever, and this color is exactly what I would wear for a heavy metal concert (except for Korpiklaani, that would be dark green :P )

    ReplyDelete
  23. WOW. Seriously, Brooke, you should do frankens all the time. LOL! Weren't you just talking about Angel & Devil collection? This one could be called Sympathy For The Devil ... okay, or Paint It Black, since I'm on the Rolling Stones kick. That kicks ass, if you'll pardon my french. I love it to bits. I'd also like to beg to know your recipe along with the rest of the ladies!
    Also, Galactica is pretty cool name too.

  24. Did you read Frank Schaetzings "The Swarm"? Do it, or check out the summary on wikipedia or so, then you will get the perfect name for this franken: YRR.

    Seriously, does't it look like some bioluminescent deep sea organism? Plankton maybe, or tiny jellyfish? Google Aequorea to see what I mean...
