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?

    The glitter is a bit too chunky for my taste. And I have no idea what that movie is, is that really bad?? :-)

      It is actually really easy, and you can practice by taking an unused topcoat and adding loose eyeshadow and craft store glitter

      I 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!

    You should sell your nail polishes on etsy! I'd totally try this one out!
    And don't worry... to this day I've only seen *half* of dirty dancing. :P
