Purple Color Morphing Franken- So Awesome!

This post is pretty pic heavy (9 pictures!) for a post about one nail polish. Like I mentioned yesterday I bought some color morphing powders from More Nail Polish and they are fabulous! I know people always say this, but I can't stop staring at my nails. I even make my boyfriend look at them several times a day. "LOOK," I say, waving my fingers in his face. "Look at all the colors it changes to!"

Enough talk, MOAR PEEKSHURS!  Make sure you make it the end, I saved the best for last!

This is pretty, but it's by far the least impressive picture.

Oh, and here is what I used, just in case anyone is curious. I used a 5 ml bottle I bought from TKB Trading. This is actually 2 polishes. A purple base and a topcoat. They both have the color morphing powder in them. The purple polish is 2/3 Milani Totally Cool, 1/3 Wet n Wild Eggplant Frost and 3 to 4 tiny scoops of red to green color morphing powder. If I had to do it again I would use some clear polish instead of so much of Totally Cool. The fairly opaque base ate up the color morphing powder and the effect wasn't as strong. So I had to use a top coat which was just 1 or 2 scoops of the same powder in TKB's Glamour Base (a clear polish for suspending glitter/larger pigments).

I'm a Frankening Fiend!

So what I did today, in between studying for two exams, was make more frankens. I bought some color morphing powders (probably the ones used to make Unicorn Pee itself- Clarins 230) from Cathy of More Nail Polish awhile ago and just got he chance to play with them. The polishes themselves turned out amazing but I'm disappointed that my pictures turned out so blah and one-dimensional. Hm, maybe I can convince my boyfriend to buy me a new camera!
Anyway, I made 5. Once I start it's hard to stop!


Ugh, crappy, crappy picture. The first one is holo. The second one morphs between gold to reddish bronze to green depending on the angle/light. The middle green is not that bright of a green; it's more murky. The last blah looking one photographed the worst of all. It's actually a top coat made with red to green color morphing pigment.

Here is a slightly better picture of the top coat franken showing its more greenish side.


I'm wearing the purple one third from the left in the picture above, but I need to wait until I can get some sun to take pictures. I've already made 15 frankens since I ordered my little bottles from TKB Trading. I ordered 30, which I figured would be more than enough, but I guess not! I'm obsessed!


Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!
