K's Special Fridays #9 - Black Gold & Amour


Afternoon lovelies,
While looking back at my franken posts, I noticed that I showed you a lot of jellies, so for the following weeks, K's Special Fridays will be more about cremes, shimmers, multichromes and holos (my favorites!) Today, I'm wearing Black gold, one of the first franken that I made from a shimmery golden/olive eye shadow pigment.  I really like it because of its opacity and I have no other color like this in my stash. It dries so shiny that I didn't use any top coat. On to the pics!

Paws and bones nail art (pics heavy)


Good morning lovelies!
Today is my dog Blacky 3rd (or should I say 21st lol) bday, so I have done this cute paws and bone manicure. He is very playful, love to swim and makes me so happy! I only wanted to do paws, but decided to add a bone on my pinkie as that's his favorite meal. I love how the mani turned out, hope you like it!

Julep Megan and colorblock accent nail!


Good afternoon!
We continue with more Julep swatches. I used to be a Maven a long time ago (It Girl) but canceled my susbcription because I wasn't satisfied with the new colors choices. I'm wearing a fun mani with Julep Megan  as a base. It is an aquamarine shimmer that is opaque in two coats. The formula is a little bit runny so I recommend using thin coats. I have an easy color block accent nail, that I did with a white base, NYC Fashion Ave Fuchsia and Julep Megan. I used a dotting tool and Sation Black for the lines. Hope you like it! 
All swatches are with top coat.

Julep Trina and abstract accent nail!


Hello lovelies,
Today I'm wearing Julep Trina, a dark aubergine shimmer. It has so much depth in real life! It's not really your spring color, but I was in a hurry for an appointment and needed discreet nails.The application was nice and smooth in two coats. I didn't add any top coat because it has a very shiny finish. Trina is the kind of polish that you don't want to take off, I love it!

OPI - Number One Nemesis


Hey!
I have another favorite of the OPI Spiderman collection that is Number One Nemesis. I didn't like swatches of this one but I needed it when I saw it in real life. It is a silvery foil base with gold and green shimmer (the green was hard to capture in the pictures). It is very sheer at one coat but the second one evens it out and reveals its true awesomeness! Thanks to OPI for stepping up! What are your favorites colors of this collection?
The following pictures show two coats of Number One Nemesis without top coat.

OPI - Just Spotted The Lizard


Hello!
Hope you are having a fabulous start of the day, I woke up in a happy mood and want to spread some good vibes in here :) Today, I'm wearing Just Spotted The Lizard (JSTL), the star from the newly released OPI Spiderman collection. It is a beautiful gold to green duochrome that applied easily in two coats, with minimum brushstrokes. I'm sold on this one, love it! While looking into my stash, I noticed that I have some polishes that are similar to this one, so look forward to a comparison between JSTL, Jessica Iridescent Eye, Catrice Genius In The Bottle, Ozotic 507, and Hits Mari Moon Trendy. The following swatches are without top coat.

ASBMF #13: The Paper Gal


Hello again !
Newspaper nails have been in my to-do list for ever but I thought it would be difficult in practice. Actually, it's super easy and so fun! I wanted a grey base but didn't have one, so I decided to franken one by mixing Wet N Wild white and black polishes. Here is Retro Pop, at two coats and without top coat.

Depend - no 122


Hello!
Another Swedish brand that I discovered thanks to a swap is Depend. This polish doesn't have a name, only a number so we will call it no 122. It is a frosty fuchsia base with purple shimmer. It comes in a small 5 ml bottle but I love it. It's not boring and has so much depth. What you will see is three coats of no 122 by itself without top coat.

Twee & Honey - Revolution


Good afternoon!
I ordered a few frankening supplies from a fellow indie polish maker, Twee & Honey, who is so nice that she included a mini bottle of one of her creations as a gift. Revolution is a clear shiny base with silver hex glitter of different sizes. I layered one coat over IsaDora Silver Sky. Can I say OMG!! I didn't even need top coat :) I LOVE it! It applies like butter, you don't need to fish for the glitter and you can apply it like normal polish :) On to the pics!
* I labelled the bottle myself
