I made me a Franken.

Recently, I decided to try my hand at Frankening a glittery top-coat. This is actually one of three that I have tried in my time blogging.

I've had my eye on  Lynnderella polishes for such a long time, but due to their popularity and recent events regarding their sale (if you read the more recent posts in that blog link, you'll have a better understanding), I haven't actually bought any yet. Perhaps I may treat myself around my birthday time...if there are any are available. I know those polishes are like gold dust...

I had a few little pots of hexagonal glitters in my Helmer so I thought I'd try customising my own polish to satisfy my hankering for a bit of sparkle. Why not?

Here it is, layered over Rimmel's 'Blue My Mind'.

 Can we stop for a second and marvel at how striking this blue is? This is one polish that I will use until it is empty and then replace. This is my baby.

 Please don't worry about the 'tip wear' - it's actually shrinkage resulting from the fast dry top coat.

I literally poured glitter into some clear polish. It's not bad is it? Or is it?
What do you think about this blue? Do you have it or anything like it?

Thanks for reading.

P.S. Here are some coupons for Overstock if you're in need of nail polish or other beauty products!
