Franken Time! Amalthea (As seen in Laura's contest)

Hello ladies! (And gents if there be any <.<) I've been mia but I have a good reason I swear! My husband and I were taking Scuba diving lessons and we are now Open Water certified, which is super fun and exciting! We live in one of the best diving spots in the world so I'm really happy we are getting out there to take advantage of it :) Unfortunately, spending a lot of time in the salt water like that is hell on my nails. I did a super cute mani last weekend but didn't have time to photograph it that day, then we went diving the next day and it was shot. Tip wear and chips all over the place, very sad really.

Aaaanyways, enough about that! I've entered in another franken contest (I do love those!) and now it's voting time. Am I trolling for your votes? Why yes I am! However, there's some super awesome frankens in there so I'd understand if you voted for someone else (I did :P). The contest is being hosted by Laura over at Laura's Lacquers, and she made it a theme contest called As Seen In Theaters. You can check it all out here. I loooooved the theme for this one and I really enjoyed making my franken. I will admit though, I had another movie in mind partially that I'd considered making one for but I couldn't decide what color to make for ROUS's hehe.

And now onto the franken! This little beauty is called Amalthea. I was a huge The Last Unicorn lover in my childhood and as I said in my blurb on her post, this movie popped into my head complete with a franken idea so I had to go with it. I'm really glad I did as I love how this turned out! So, without further ado, here she is!

I hope you like Amalthea! I could do a whole set for The Last Unicorn now, I mean the Red Bull is pretty obvious but I also have an idea for Schmendrick which I'd have to name Magic, Magic, Do As You Will. I have to work on these :)

Again, go check out Laura's post and vote for your favorite here and seriously consider following her if you don't, she's got a great blog!

Thanks for stopping by,

Franken Time! Cherry Pie and Vote For Me!!

For my second post of the day I wanted to plug myself as well as share what I think is an awesome franken! I entered a frankening contest over at More Nail Polish and voting is now open. I really enjoy frankening and I like the idea of having to be a bit creative to win a contest instead of just entering a giveaway, so this was super fun. There's some really amazing frankens so I highly recommend you check it out :)

I do have a franken I have yet to post but I wanted to make something new for this contest. (I actually made two polishes and I'll show you the other one sometime but this is the one I decided to enter) I am not a big red wearer, I always like it on other people but it's another one of those colors I'm not so fond of on myself. When I was thinking of ideas for this contest I got it in my head that I wanted a red jelly, but of course a plain red jelly would be too boring so I had to spice it up with some glitter. I am absolutely in love with how this turned out. I just reswatched it to get some sun pics intending to take it off and put on Zoya Edyta but honestly, I think I'll finish the manicure, it's awesome!

The jelly squishiness of this is amazing, it looks so juicy!

This is the picture I submitted for the contest, no sun and yes my nails were longer, but you can see the jelly and the glitter nicely :)

The ingredients for this are approximately 1/4 clear, 1/4 AC-NED-78 (a sheer peachy orange chunky prismatic glitter), 1/4 China Glaze Ravishing Dahling (vampy red), 1/8 AC-NED-09 (yellow jelly creme), 1/8 Cover Girl Boundless Color Crystal Mist (duo/multichrome glitter top coat) and 1/3 tsp fine blue glitter.

Let me know what you think and if you like it please head over to More Nail Polish and vote for me!

Thanks for stopping by!
