Vintage roses, I think.

Hello there!

Todays post is all about vintage roses and yeah Im not sure if my mani is "vintage" enough but well.
Here it is: 


On my index and pinky finger I have a franken polish of my own creation. I mixed some of Casino Royale by OPI and a gold flaked polish together. I couldnt capture the gold sparkle in those photos for life but its pretty nonetheless. On my middle and ring finger I started off with a thick coat of Essie Blanc (that reminds me I have to buy a refill), then placed striping tape to get the look followed by one thick coat of my black unnamed polish. I did the roses with IsaDora Power Pink, OPI Casino Royale and the gold flaked polish. leaves are done with some acrylic paints.


How do you like this mani? 

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

*All of the nail polish I own I bought with my own money or received as a gift from friends, I don't get paid for any reviews, it's just my own thoughts.

Splatter! With Depend 313 and Choose me by Essence

Hello ladies!

Today I have for you a spatter mani! I liked the last one I made so I did it again! :)


For this mani I used my own franken Bowl of Cereal which you can see here and 2 other polishes: nr 313 by Depend ( which you can see here ) and Choose Me by Essence. I think white polish with purple glitter was a good base for this color combo. And those shimmers mmm.. Im in love with this mani!

I did clean up a bit badly as you can see on my index finger but shhh! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :) xx

Franken gradient :)

Hello ladies!
Today I have another one of my frankens to show you but not in a swatch! I made a gradient instead but promise, swatches are yet to come!

The name of this polish is Blue Apples - baby blue base with fine golden glitter in it. I fell in love with it, I hope you will too :)


I used Blue Apples and sponged golden glitter into tips of my nails. I love the combo and I dont think I'll be doing any new mani anytime soon haha - thats how much I like this polish and this mani!


Im off to do some house work :) Hope you liked the mani, thanks for stopping by! xx

My first frankens!

Yes, you read right! I decided to try frankening for the first time and I quite liked it! I had some spare glitter and a few polishes that were nowhere workable so I went for a franken :)

I made 4 frankens at all but today Ill present 2 of my babies: Bowl of Cereal and Starry Morning! (I had some help from my boyfriend with naming them - so lucky Im!)

First comes my personal favorite: Bowl of Cereal.


Bowl of Cereal is a white base with purple fine glitter and red small hex glitter. The hex glitter got stuck to the bottle but theres plenty of it left in the polish :) I had a bad time photographing it cause the weather isnt nice and thats the best my poor cheap camera could do :(


The first thing my boyfriend said when he saw this polish was that it looks like bowl of cereal! Thats how I got the name of this polish :) Another very good thing about this one is that its one-coater. I did use 2 for good measure but I could get away with one!

Next in the lane is Starry Morning. 


Starry Morning is a lavender base with lots of silver shimmer. This one needed 2 coats but I love this polish :) It also reminds me a lot of OPI I Have A Herring Problem although Starry Morning is more purple-ish. I've got only one picture of this cause as you can see I had to swatch it on my right hand and I just cant take any pictures with my left hand :)

So, did you like my frankens? :D I love them! I think making your own kind of polish is amazing, every nail geek should try it!
