First Friday Franken...a week late.

Hello Dahlings!

 

So we all know how I failed to post last Friday?

Even if I had posted on time,

this month's First Friday Franken mani would still be posted today.

Does this mean I'm caught up?

Who'd a thunk'd it?

 

So here's what I concocted earlier this week for y'all...

 Glow in da dark foil stamping polishes!

Great in theory...not so great in execution.

 

 I started with 2 coats of Sassy Polish & Scrubs Hollywood Hills.

It went on a wee bit patchy & streaky with da 1st coat

due it drying so fast, but it smoothed out on da 2nd coat no prob

& those rainbows!

I then added a quick coat of Orly In A Snap Quick-dry Top Coat.

Da SH Dries Fast had gotten low enuf to be a pita,

so I used this Orly I picked up on a B2G1 on Black Friday.

Me likey!

It goes on very thin & dries fast with a nice glossy finish.

It's perfect for that fast dry coat of clear over my base color

so I can move on to da art!

If I don't get to da art right away, my nails have some protection

& look good enuf to leave da house.

I still prefer Seche Vite for my final top coat

as its thick glossy finish protects my nails very well.

 

 I then tried da new rage in masking for messy manis,

cuz getting da lil shiny bits of foil polish off da skin is usually a pita.

I got this 4oz jar of ammonia free liquid latex

for around $10US thru Amazon

& then decanted some into a clean polish bottle.

Thanks Nail Loopy for da decanting idea!

 

 It goes on opaque & dries darker as well as a bit sheer.

It's also really sticky after it quickly dries!

So I recommend doing one hand at a time.

 

 These are da 11 gitd stamping foils I concocted

using mostly L.A. Colors Live silver foil polish,

some of da Wet N' Wild Chromes from 2013 for foil color

plus suspension fluid & gitd powders from Misfits on 8th

I didn't get creative with da names this time

I just went with what da base color glows with da lights out.

My lil Inky brain just couldn't work that hard.

 

 They all passed da glow & stamp test.

Da one that's hard to see is da Black Glows Green.

It glows a dark mossy green that can be hard to get pics of

tho it glows well IRL.

 

 So I grabbed these 5 to show you today...

 

 ...and these 2 plates from MoYou London

along with my uber spiffy Creative Stamper

& got to stamping.

 

 Um, yeah...needs work.

They glow better IRL, but da white needs to be more opaque

plus da silver & blue need more gitd pigment.

They aren't a huge success at this point, but they stamped & glowed,

so with a lil tweaking they should work out just dandy fine!

>^. .^<

I wants in MEOW!

It's moments like this I'm so glad I installed pet screen

in all the downstairs windows & da screen door. LOL

 

Thanks for stopping by!
