Franken Using Maybelline Colorama #40 Frosty Pink

 Hi! I wanted to show you all this franken I made. I used a whole bottle of Maybelline Colorama Frosty Pink in it. Here's my recipe:

-1 bottle of Frosty Pink
-8 drops of China Glaze First Mate
-5 drops of Wet n Wild Black Creme

I love it! These swatches are over two coats of First Mate. My camera was being really weird and didn't show how deep this polish really is... to be honest, it's almost black but it's definitely blue. It's a blue-black!


 Here's a picture that's a bit more color accurate:

Here are some pictures that are also a little bit more color accurate where you can see the shimmer. I think I need to put this one on again! :)

Let me know if you replicate this and what you think of it! I think I'm going to hoard Frosty Pinks... they look *great* in frankens.

Extreme Layering

Hi everyone! This idea came from the lovely MeganChair on makeupalley. It's going to be a tough one to take off! Here's what I used:
2 Coats Sinful Daddy's Girl
1 Coat Island Girl Island Volcano (A blue glitter with flakies)
1 Coat Sinful Daddy's Girl
1 Coat Maybelline Colorama Frosty Pink

It was really hard to capture how dynamic this polish was in real life! It has a purple base, but when you slightly tilt your finger you can see flashes of blue glitter and red/green microglitter from the Frosty Pink... couldn't capture it, so try something similar at home! You can do a different variation by using any jelly, glitter and microglitter polish (Pure Ice Heartbreaker is an easy to find alternative to Frosty Pink, Clarins 230, etc). If you do this, please take pictures and show them to me! :)
