First Friday Frankens

Hello Dahlings!
 
Just cuz I'm doing all Halloween manis this month
doesn't mean I forgot about First Friday Frankens!
 
Da line up: Green As Grass, Chunky Pumpkin & Born Pretty Store asst French Tip Guides
 
This is 2 coats of Green As Grass & I could have gotten away with just one coat of this uber pigmented done-did-it-myself polish. It started out a cheap, rather dull, neon green. I added blue & green craft pigments until I liked da color.
 
 I used 2 ft guides on each finger to mask off areas where I dabbed on Chunky Pumpkin. I had to add a 2nd layer on some nails & as da polish slowly dried, it formed a plasticy top layer & stuck to da tip guides. Blerg. So I had to go back in & carefully touch it up after removing da guides. I sat there for nigh on an hour waiting for CP to dry enuf for a coat of Seche Vite.
 
See da lil gold hex 'seeds' peeking out of da pumpkin guts?
Chunky Pumpkin started out as a Kleancolor Gold Caviar mini that I poured into a 1/2 bottle of clear polish (not top coat) then I added lots of pumpkin orange glitter. In spite of it's slo-o-ow drying time & having to shake da beejeebers out of it, I like it.
 
 
Ciri really really likes milk!

      Thanks! Adding craft pigment powders to polish is an easy & fairly inexpensive way to alter the color to something you like better.
