Franken Tuesdays Are Back: I Carried a Watermelon

So, I have been frankening again, which means Franken Tuesdays are back. I will be posting the whole round-up on Impressionist Nails, but here is a teaser to start you off. My latest franken is "I Carried a Watermelon" 

 And yes, it was inspired by this... 

 

I just love Baby

 

 Okay, no one disown me here, but I only recently saw Dirty Dancing for the first time...but of course I loved it! So I had to create a polish inspired by it. "I Carried a Watermelon" is a shimmery violet base with white and green square glitter. 

 

This is two coats on bare nails, and I think it turned out really fun!

 

 

I am really loving square glitter lately! 

 

And then I had a great idea...why not add some fimo on top of it? These two watermelon fimo canes are from BornPrettyStore and they came in a large pack. I love them, and simply cut them very thin with an x-acto knife and placed the slices on wet polish, then sealed with a top coat. They lasted about two days, but they were fun!

 

 

And there you go, my Dirty Dancing/Watermelon manicure. What do you think?

Franken Fun: Must Be A Weasley and PineGalaxy Nail Decals

Hey Pandas! You may remember that a while ago, I started to do 'Franken Tuesdays' to show off my handmade Franken Polishes. But, now that I am not keen on keeping a schedule for that, and have my very own nail blog that will soon start to handle all of my nail posts (Impressionist Nails) I have decided to call these posts Franken Fun! and they will be showcased here and in detail on my nail blog. I am actually really excited about this franken, mostly because it is named after some of my favorite people in Harry Potter (and we all know how much I like Harry Potter...) 

 'Must Be A Weasley' was inspired by Draco Malfoy's famous line to Ron Weasley, but is a franken that sums up the entire family. You can see it on all of my fingers by the ring (which is Chanel Dragon). It is a jelly red/orange glitterbomb packed with gold, red, and orange glitter. Not only Gryffindor colors, but very 'ginger' as well! 

 

I think they would approve right?

 

And I do have to mention PineGalaxy's awesome nail decals over on Etsy. On my ring finger is a Gryffindor one, but next time I will use a lighter polish, although I like the tonal quality of it. Her nail decals are so awesome, and she has great customer service!!

 

To see more photos of this franken, hop on over to Impressionist Nails! And many thanks if you do!

Franken Tuesday: Lady Sybil Branson

Happy Franken Tuesday...almost made it...still Tuesday here!

 

Back to Downton Abbey! I am having major withdrawals, but here is a polish to try and get us all out of that funk. This is called Lady Sybil Branson.

 

And here is the darling couple. I love that Lady Sybil is so different from her sisters. She has a big heart and knows that love is love, no matter who it is between.

 

 

I put two coats of this glitter on my ring and middle fingers with two coats of Sally Hansen Pink Satin (a metallic purple/rose) on ever other finger.

 

 

This is really not a complex polish. Very tiny lilac/rose glitter and larger teal hex glitter make up a fun, girly, but decidedly different polish fit for Sybil.

 

 

I love the way this looks!! So adorable. I am just loving the glitter bombs. Always remember the pvc glue method or risk scrubbing forever!

 

Only 2 more frankens left and the contest is ending soon. Enter Enter ENTER

 

I promise you won't be sorry!!

 

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!

Franken Tuesday: Mrs. Malfoy

Welcome back to Franken Tuesday, on the normally scheduled day. I am so excited for today's polish because a lot of you have been looking forward to it, and I have to say it is one of my favorites (but I say that every week so don't trust me...)

 

This is Mrs. Malfoy, a polish inspired by the amazing Narcissa Malfoy...who (in my humble opinion) never got enough book/screen time and always gets overlooked. I will go on my rant later...but now, pictures!

 

This is three coats of Mrs. Malfoy on my pinkie, ring (and thumb) and two coats of L'Oreal's The Queen's Ambition (and amazing black with silver sparkle) on my index and middle fingers. I wanted to mix textures and have a black polish as part of my mani to really create a total Narcissa look.

 

 

I totally glitter-bombed my fingers with this polish, but it layered nicely. It is made up of emerald green square glitter, black hex glitter, and silver hex glitter in a grey jelly base. Dangerous, classy, and chic like Narcissa. And of course, an homage to Slytherin fit for one of the Slytherin queens.

 

 

It is so pretty in the bottle and I love looking at it on my polish vanity.

 

 

And here is the inspiration for the polish. I mean, how flawless is she? (Helen McCrory is amazing). Now for my rant. She takes amazing care of her son, and is loyal to her husband even though he's kinda not that great (but Jason Isaacs...that is another story all together for me) and she pretty much saves Harry's life. Let us not forget.

 

 

Here is the polish in flash. I love it! It makes me feel so edgy. And like a Slytherin (although I am actually a Ravenclaw...don't hate).

 

 

 And here is the polish in action...with my wand (this is Ginny's but I am lemming for Narcissa's).

 

What do you think of this weeks' polish?

 

Love it? Enter for a chance to win your own!!

I am giving away 5 custom made polishes. 15 ish days left!

 

Happy Tuesday Pandas!
