GARAGE SALE FIND, FRANKEN & WHAT'S COMING UP!

Look what my Mom snagged at a garage sale for me:




She got some more (polishes not Street Wears), but this was the standout of the bunch. Can't wait to try it out and get pictures posted for you all.


Also, my franken name was decided on, meet FADE TO JADE:





Also, I should have some swatches of these colors today for you all as well.



Lastly, I started posting recipes for the desserts I showed you all yesterday. You can find them on POLISHING OFF. . . , for those of you that were interested.

FRANKEN - BLACK TOP

I made this franken over the weekend. At first I was disappointed with how un-smooth this turned out to be. The more I looked at it though, I kind of liked the asphalt/black top texture that it had and decided to keep it just the way it was. This is to be worn with out a top coat.

I used clear nail polish, black nail polish and black glitter I got from Walmart, it was Martha Stewart brand. I also added a little bit of a dark grey glitter to this that was also Martha Stewart brand.

FIRE STARTER

I would like to share with you all a franken I made over the weekend. My sister from another mister, Christy from Kronicles of a Konad-er, sent me some wonderful glitter in the mail (among other wonderful goodies I will show you later). So this weekend I was feeling artsy fartsy and decided to make some frankens. The one I am showing you today I made with clear nail polish and a mixture of three colors of glitter, dark magenta reddish color, gold and orange. I immediatly thought of fire when I made this so I named it Fire Starter.


I also have another franken that I named Black Top that I will show you all tomorrow!! :)

REVISITING OLD FRANKENS

Since changing my storage system by color, I came across some of my old frankens. I pulled out my GREEN shoebox (one of them, lol) and saw a couple of frankens and thought I would put them on again. I found Monster Mash (this totally fits in w/ the Halloween theme this month!) and Getcha Money Right (lol, LOVE this name!).

• I would also like to know if any of you have tried frankening before?
• If so, how did your results come out?
• Are there any colors that you would like for me to try and franken?

YOU NAMED THAT FRANKEN

Thanks to all of you who submitted a guess to name my forrest green franken. You guys really had some good ones :) You all are so great about coming up with names for my frankens that I think it will be a regular thing I do here. I am thinking about maybe adding in a small prize for the person who comes up with the winning name. Of course, there might be one or two frankens that I might already have a name in mind for, but I just really enjoy getting you all's input for names!

Thank you to CRLSWEETIE912 for submitting GETCHA MONEY RIGHT! It was the winning name chosen by a vote. Thank you to all who took the time to vote, I think it was really fun!
