New Mani with my Franken-polish holo lovely

I decided that after sitting and looking at the prettiness in my lovely little bottle, I should use it to do a full mani.  Its not sunny here and I know thats best for holo's but I just couldn't wait anymore before trying it out.  

So here it is, indoors with flash, and indoors without flash.  Its really hard to capture the colour on this properly for some reason my camera won't do it justice.  It looks more blue with the flash, and too dark without it.  In reality it is somewhere in between the two, and more of a teal colour, and rather nice.  Its a keeper I think :)  As always pics are clickable to view larger versions.

My first Franken-polish - I created prettiness!

I was overcome with the 'more money than sense' illness and bought a 'gram'.  I don't have more money than sense, I have practically no money at all at the moment (got laid off from work arggg) but then again, I have even less sense for giving in and buying this.  This was an overpriced gram of powder that is used for car paint, but it is holographic and mixes with nail polish rather well.  I had to have it, as all polish addicts out there will understand, and theres a lot more than me who bought this stuff too.  Madness comes in a pretty little bottle it seems :)


So it arrived, and I lifted it like the holy grail from its envelope and locked myself in the spare bedroom, home of my polishes.  They sat there, all looking like prime candidates for my franken madness, but I spotted W7 Envy, and it called to me.  So, with trembling hand, I decanted some into a sample bottle, and added a pinch at a time of the magic powder, until a wonderful thing happened.  It changed, it became the sum of its parts, it became holographic *gasps* and here it is, behold my creation!
