Raspberry Holo Spectraflair Franken

Howdy Peoples

How are you all? Well today I have for you my attempt at a red holo fraken using the spectraflair I acquired. I had one failure at attempting this, but it wasn't too bad as I now have a very nice pink holo franken :-) In the end I cheated. I got a small bottle of Colour Works Red (a red based jelly) and added 3 tiny scoops of spectraflair.




This was taken as the sun was setting so the lighting wasn't great, I took some pics indoors with the flash which shows the holo effect much better.





The red jelly base of the Colour Works polish worked really well with the spectraflair. Hardly any settled to the bottom of the bottle. While this isn't a true red more of a raspberry colour, I still love it.

My dodgy name for this one is Blow A Raspberry :-) My nephew who is 7 months old blows raspberries all  the time, especially when he's being fed, spraying everyone with baby food goo (why is all baby food orange?) So inspired by a cute baby with bad table manners.

P.s Is it Spectraflair or Spectraflare? I haven't a scooby?

Estée Lauder - Metallic Sage

Good Evening All!


Today I have for you the beautiful Estée Lauder polish - Metallic Sage. My other half bought it for me in Torquay when Debenhams had a 10% off sale. It was the last one in stock. I was practically bouncing all day after getting this. Metallic Sage is well...sage, but containing bronze shimmering particles. Lovely. I think this maybe one of my favourite polishes of the year.





It's sooo beautiful. This was 2 coats. First coat streaky but another coat sorted that out. Just look at that gorgeous bottle! It's probably more glass than polish but it looks posh. Love it.

Also I made 3 more frankens with my spectraflair and a topcoat with the colour changing pigment. I'll get some pics up soon! :-)

Recipe (approx)

10 drops of Barry M Racing Green,
5 drops of Barry M Emerald

Rest clear polish.

I'm gonna try a few more concoctions and show you the results! And A big massive thank you to Kitties26. What a star!

My 50th Post - Gosh Holographic

Hi All

My 50th post!!! So something special is required - Gosh Holographic. It's a pain to apply but when it's on the nail...Wowza booooootiful. Warning super duper pic heavy.










I was totally lucky with getting this one while it was available, which makes a change! I don't own many holographic polishes but this is the most holographic one I own. I have ordered some spectraflair off the lovely Kitties26  @ More Nail Polish and eagerly awaiting its arrival. So excited!! I'm going to make some concoctions yay!!


I am also planning to hold a giveaway if I reach 100 followers. I already have a rare discontinued OPI polish lined up as one of the prizes. I'm going to pick up a few more bits though.

If any of you lovely readers could help a gal out and add me to their blog roll I would really appreciate it. :-)

Once again thanks for reading!

A bit of Klean fun - Chunky Holo Black

Hi ya all

So this is my 49th post. Wow doesn't time fly when your having polish fun. I want to say a big hi to all my new followers! Hello :-) So chuffed that anyone givse my little page a gander.

Today I have another Kleancolor polish - Chunky Holo Black. This is such an unusual polish, not because of the glitter (that's stunning) but because of the brown jelly consistency. I overdid it buy using 2 coats. Should of just stuck to one.



As you can see it's a brown jelly rather than black, although when indoors it's more darker in appearance. Didn't get an indoor shot though. Sorry.







My application was awful but I thought I would show you the shots anyway. The holographic glitter is really effective in this polish, indoors and outside. This is layered over Rimmel Black. The glitter particles are larger in the Kleancolor polish in comparison to the other holos they produce. It smells a bit  funky but it's worth it.

I'm going to try and get the other Kleancolors I bought swatched, as hopefully I will be putting some new orders in on their metallic range. For $1.75 each you can't go wrong.

Ta ta for now.

P.s 5 days to go til Olympia Beauty (yeah yeah).

It's Just an Illusion - Nubar

Hi-de-hi peoples

Well I'm back from Torquay. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend away! If you've never been to Torquay or Devon, I recommend it. The weather wasn't bad either. Torquay festival was on so lots of live music, performers and stalls. Even got treated to some polish while I was there!

Today I have for you another duochrome, Nubar - Indigo Illusion. Hope you're not sick of them :-)






Simply stunning. This is 3 coats, no topcoat (I've actually got some now though). Not much to say about this, it does all the talking on its own. Teal to purple to gold to pink duochrome.

Name reminds me of that 80s Imagination song - Just an Illusion. Bad hair and Bad miming - the good ole days :-) I'll leave the video link if like me you love dodgy 80s music. (click here)

Have fun and thanks for reading!

NYX - Dorothy

Hello all!

This is a scheduled post! I'm currently (or hope I am) in Torquay sunning myself up (yeah right more likely shivering). After swatching Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia I wanted to swatch the other Deborah Lippmann dupe I own, NYX - Dorothy. Apparently a dupe of Ruby Red Slippers. I bought Dorothy when I ordered my Kleancolor's from Beauty Joint.





With flash




SOOOO sexy! ha ha. Doesn't this just scream sultry and sexy. This is 1 coat of Dorothy over Rimmel 60 seconds Black. Luscious :-) I'm back from Torquay Monday so until then...

Enjoy folks!
