New Franken Polish- Names?









This is a combination of two WetN'Wild polishes- "The Gold & the Beautiful" and "Sparkled". I may wear this with the dress below, but am still unsure. Anybody have ideas on what I should name this new Franken?

New Rite Aid Displays


New Limited Edition Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's. Some of these look very similar to other Insta-Dri colors, however a couple are different- like the mango color for example.


We have never seen these before! Color Fever by petites- does anyone know about these? Are they any good?

WetNWild icon eye shadows. These are beautiful!

Prestige Cosmetics Limited Edition Eye Shadows. The colors aren't that original, but they would look great for Patty's Day.

All in all we are loving Rite Aid!

Pugs N Polish

Lilly
Daphnie

Here they are finally, sporting some sparkley glitter from WetNWild called "Glam"! These are our fur children- Sylvia is mom to Lilly, and April is mom to Daphnie.

So far this is only two coats (we will probably keep adding one a day to keep it on longer). Glitter polish seems to stay very well on puggie paws and doesn't look weird as it wears. 4 blings.

Peach Franken




This is three coats of my Peach Franken and one top coat of Poshe'. Again this was runny and hard to handle but I just LOVE this color! To me it looks like RBL - Starfish Patrick. To make this color I used the Wet n Wild - French White and Sally Hansen Insta Dri - Orange you Fast. So do you think this is a dupe for any other color? 4.5 Blings

Lavender Franken



This is the first of my six Spring Pastel Frankens.
The base is Wet n Wild - French White. To get the lavender color I used OPI - Done out in Deco and Orly - Cashmere Cardigan. Love the pale color. This is three coats with Poshe' top coat. The brush on these sucks! The polish is a little runny and streaky but for 59 cents I can live with it.
I would love to hear what you think the closest Dupes to this color would be. 4 Blings

My Six Spring Franken's



These are the six pastels that I Frankened for Spring. I have been wanting some light pastels for a few years now and I never could find the right colors. I think some of these are dupes, I hope. I will swatch these over the next few days. This is my first real attempt to Franken so I hope they come out. When Wet & Wild went on sale at Rite Aid for $0.59 I thought this was a good time to give it a whirl.
These colors make me excited for Easter!

Purple Duochrome comparison


I wanted to do a purple duochrome comparison that looked similar in the bottle to me.

Pointer - "Lapis Amethyst" by Sally Hansen Nail Prisms
This is alot lighter and more blue.This is three coats and it could have used four. Like. Not bad for 50 cents. 3 Blings

Middle - "Grape Going" by Sally Hansen Insta-Dri
This is the Scrangie Dupe that I was dying to try. Love the color. I cant wait to wear this when it is sunny! This is three coats and it could have used four. Love. 4 Blings

Ring - "Violet metal" by Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro
Gorgeous color and finish, what's not to love. This is three coats and it's just right. Love. 4 Blings

Pinkie - "Eggplant Frost" Wet n Wild Wild Shine
I'm not seeing the duochrome on the nail. This is still a really nice vampy dark purple. This is three coats but could have got away with two. The kicker here is it's got fab color, finish and shine and it's only $1.00. Love. 3.5 Blings

Update

Odd, I put on a clear top coat and it looks more blue. Maybe my lighting too but it's much more what I expected now.

WetnWild Caribbean Frost

This went on smooth and had a good medium opacity and although I used 3 coats, I could have gotten away with 2. I am a bit disappointed that there isn't more blue. 3.5 Blings
