Silver holo franken love

I'm loving all the glitter options from you mix cosmetics.  I felt it was necessary to make an awesome franken with silver and black glitter. Below is a photo of the glitter used.  All of them are from YMC except luminosity (left) and the black micro which are from TKB.  The remainder of the glitter used included silver holo square, black holo hex, black shredded, black hex, 2 sizes of gunmetal hex, small silver hex and 2 sizes of silver holo hex.




It's so pretty in the sun.




The base is one coat of a silver steel franken followed by 2 coats of the glitter polish.  There was a bit of shrinkage near the tips of the nails following application of seche vite.  For some reason it always looks worse in photos than in person.






*On a side note, I've been experimenting with the use of xanthan gum in glitter suspension. It seems like people have had mixed results with it.  The polish was only made last night, but so far it has remained suspended. *fingers crossed*  I will post photos after the weekend with an update.

Pre-valentine's day

 This is a really pretty peach/pink franken with blue undertones.








Check out the purple-blue shimmer!

First post

So this is my first attempt at a blog.  I have been mixing frankens for several months now.  Here is a shimmery red in time for Valentine's day.  This is a combination of TKB's hot step mama and rouge flambe red.





It has a really nice sparkle in the light
