Polish Swatch: China Glaze Shooting Stars


China Glaze Shooting Stars over black and over OPI Ski Teal We Drop



Polish Swatch: Zoya Opal


Zoya Opal over Black and OPI Ski Teal We Drop

Polish Swatch: China Glaze Poinsettia


i compared it with OPI Vodka and Caviar (index) and Sally Hansen Hot Red (ring)

i would say it's not as orange as it looks in some pictures. it is a little brighter and more orangey as compared to the other two.

do i like it? it's ok i guess, i dont think i'd wear it as often as the other two though, unless i dress up as marilyn monroe ahahahahahha


Polish Swatch: Nubar/Milani




Milani Cyberspace, Nubar Absolute, Nubar Treasure, Milani Hi-Res

not exact dupes but very very similar! other than the holo sizes, the colours are pretty much the same!

Polish Swatch: Color Club Best Dressed List, OPI Barefoot in Barcelona

I came across these two polishes while foraging my stash for colours (the absolute horror of finding something you can't remember having hahahaha)
I thought they looked pretty similar...



Left opi, right cc
pretty similar, no?

Polish Swatch: Kleancolor Holo Chrome


grabbed the chance to capture the holo goodness when the sun shone on my nails while on the bus. it's entirely glitter but not the gritty kind, it's the very small and uneven kind which makes it not very difficult to remove!

Franken: Glitter Confetti


i kinda like this! looks a bit like bokeh.

either my glitter sucks or the polish sucks cuz my franken bottle has totally turned from clear to red, and the red glitter is now silver hah. 


Fun Looks: Rainbow Eyeliner



My Franken: Metallic Olive


yeah i'm bad at naming ...

Franken: 01

annnnnnnd i have been busy.... with my new hobby! hahaha ever since i collected my items from michelle (thanks!), i have been mixing and matching colours - like an alchemist. now i just need some salt pile and troll fat to complete my potion... kidding! too much skyrim!

haven't been very satisfied with the colours i've been working on but.... one little sneek peak! i wish i had a better camera to capture the goodness but no. oddly enough my iphone 4s camera works better than my digital cam. 

my franken against CG bogie on the thumb. i didn't exactly have bogie in mind when i started to try out the different colour combos i had. my version was also quite sheer so this was actually painted over black polish.

i'm not sure if i prefer to layer sheer polish or have a thick one/two coater instead.

any thoughts or suggestions?
