My Very First Franken on Mom's Nails!!!

Hello lovelies!!! Today I have something pretty special for you (or at least I think it's special LOL). I have made my very first franken! It was born out of desperation. LOL I have been wanting China Glaze's Party Hearty or Sephora by OPI's Good Tidings We Bling but they were not easily available. The $OPI was sold out and the ChG is only available on eBay and I didn't have time to get it here before Christmas. SO I decided I would try to make my own red and green glitter combo!! I love the way it turned out!! 

For this franken I used equal parts of OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It and OPI Fresh Frog of Bel-Air. GMPWI is red micro glitter with red and silver hex glitter, FFOBA is it's green twin with green micro glitter and green and silver hex glitter. 

I used one coat of my franken over 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow then topped it with 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite. I apologize for the chips in this mani, I didn't get pics until 2 days after I put it on her because we have been so busy lately.

First up, a bottle shot. :)

And now for the nails!!

What do you think of my very first franken?? I hope you like it!!

OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It

Hello again lovely readers!! I hope your Friday is going well! Today I have the layering combo I mentioned in my NOX Twilight post yesterday. OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It (GMPWI) from The Muppets Collection is such a gorgeous glitter!! It is red microglitter and small red and silver hex glitter...yes please!

I LOVE this polish but I was a little disappointed in how sheer it was. I don't know if you could ever get it opaque on it's own. I was hoping for more dense glitter like in OPI Crown Me Already. I originally put this over OPI Designer.....de Better! (when I thought it was more opaque) but I wanted a red glitterbomb so I decided to layer it over red. 

 I apologize in advance for these pictures...my camera has a really hard time with reds and glitter so this combo was very hard for me to photograph/

I used 2 coats of  GMPWI over NOX Twilight Red Velvet and topped it with 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Color Club top coat.
