My First Franken :)

Well as you can see from the title this post is about my first Frankenpolish (the term Franken baffled me for a long long time). I really love the idea of making my own polishes and having seen that it really isn't that difficult at all means i am severely tempted to get myself frankening. But i doubt i will for a while because i need to get supplies like bottles, ball bearings, a nice supply of clear polish etc
However i thought i'd make one that is insanely easy. I've been wanting a gold-glitter-hologram polish for a long tme, as i've never seen one, only silvers and various other colours but no gold (please correct me if i'm wrong. Also anyone know a gold hologram polish that isn't glitter as there's no way i can make that :P) and i already had a load of the correct glitter from some art projects.
So basically i just bought a £1 clear nail polish (thank you MUA) and poured the glitter in, then shook it up.
It's not perfect, the glitter settles very easily and requires a lot of shaking, but the effect when it's on is quite good, especially as it only cost me a pound.

And blurry to show the pretty colours :)

So you can see it's still a bit sheer, i think i'll wear it over a gold polish :) I'm please at how well this worked for how little effort it took, i'm going to make one more, using a black glitter i have. I hope that one goes well too because i've always wanted a black glitter polish (no other colours, just reflective black)

In other news it is too bloody hot. I hate it. I can't find my sunscreen so i know i'm going to born (luckilly my high SPF sunscreen is around) and i sweat and it just makes me miserable. And the doggies are miserable too, but they're also sleepy which makes looking after them a doddle :)
And i just realised that it is the football. Go on footballers and do your thang!

My amazing playsuit was made by Claire. Not only that but she actually designed the fabric! Take a look at her spoonflower account here (isn't she talented? <3)

My tights are from Topshop and the shoes are very old from Office.

My hair looks funny because it was wet.

The only photo i got of my face, very unflattering :P

I was wearing:

UD Surreal Skin Cream to Powder Foundation

some kind of powder.

Topshop Neon Rose cream blush

Mac Saint Germain lipstick.

Black eyeliner and mascara.

And when i came home i found a romantic prospect lurking in wait for me in the garden!

 

I love me a toad :)

Edit:

oh and here are some photos of me and Digby that would be great if my arm didn't look like a giant ham :P
