Blue Marsian

To make the nail polish posted last time (the REAL teenage dream) I ordered some holographic glitter from TKB trading. And of course I ordered something else while I was at it, they have so much fun glitters that can be used in nail polish!! 

I kinda went bananas, and haven't been able to try them all yet..
One of the glitters I did try was Gold Reflecks.

The obvious would be to put it in clear nail polish and make a fancy top coat, but I though I would try something else... Now what would I like that I haven't seen before. I figured, why not try it with blue?? So I added some cheap blue nail polish, and a little For Audrey for good measure.

So the results of mixing gold glitter with clear nail polish, then adding blue...

Pretty awesome!

But of course this wasn't enough, so I stamped with blue and gold over it;

I have more glitters from TKB trading that I have to abuse =)

So hopefully there will be more Frankens coming up!

The REAL Teenage Dream

When I picked up OPI - Teenage Dream I was expecting something quite spectacular! A pink nail polish with rough holographic glitter in it, it seemed to good to be true... And for me, it was...

This is one of the videos posted by OPI as a promo for the nail polish, and it looks really awesome. When I got it, the polish turned out to be more glitter than pink, and when it dries it becomes really dull, the dullness fading away the holographic effect of the nail polish.

But all is not lost. My interest in the perceived color sent me on a quest, a quest to franken my own Teenage Dream. And here it is in all it's glory "The REAL Teenage Dream" (or maybe Teenage Dream as it should be);

It just looks like candy on nails!!! I love it =)

Unfortunately I did not learn and also bought "Not like the movies" from the same collection... Who would have thought that Katy Perry + OPI would be such a drag...

And for those that might be interested in how I did this. I used normal top coat nail polish, put in a holographic glitter called Holla Glow Glitter from TKB trading, and then added a little red =)
