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...
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?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh how I love you! This is fantastic!

Yeah, lots of pigment and glitter mixing! Thanks :)
Deletegreat manicure! I love the fimo :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mattania, I am really loving fimo lately!
DeleteThe glitter is a bit too chunky for my taste. And I have no idea what that movie is, is that really bad?? :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha no, I only just watched it recently, so you aren't that out of the loop!
DeleteI love how you make your own nail varnishes! So cute!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Abi!
DeleteVery cool idea for a polish! I never knew you made your own polish wow i'd love to learn to do that someday!
ReplyDeleteIt is actually really easy, and you can practice by taking an unused topcoat and adding loose eyeshadow and craft store glitter
DeleteI always wondered how people did it! I've so many loose eyeshadows I don't wear (too messy and time consuming, what WAS I thinking?!) so I might have to have a play!
DeleteVery cool! Love love love the inspiration too :D
ReplyDeleteYou should sell your nail polishes on etsy! I'd totally try this one out!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry... to this day I've only seen *half* of dirty dancing. :P
Thanks! I was thinking about doing that eventually. And YES, I don't feel so bad anymore!
