By now I’m sure it’s obvious that I really like greens and blues since most of my posted franken polishes are one or the other… Well, here’s another- Franken #420 Peacock. It's not Christmas-y at all but looks even more spectacular under lower lighting like Christmas lights.

The glitter and flakes I used are shown below, Emerald Green & Blue Blue from Alsa, TKB Blue glitter (discontinued), Coastal Scents Emerald, BlingFlake’s Blue Blaze, Holo Blue, Holo Green & Purple Prism. The bottom left corner shows an overhead shot of Blue Blaze since its container is cloudy.
Here are a most of the polishes used. Confetti Ice Ice Baby, L.A. Colors (Color Craze) Treasure Island, Wet ‘n’ Wild Ocean
The formula fills half a full size bottle and heavily glittered but even so, no suspension base was needed. 1/4 LAC Treasure Island, 1/4 clear, 1 scoop of: AC Emerald Green, AC Blue Blue, CS Emerald Green, TKB Blue, BF Holo Blue, BF Holo Green, 1/2 scoop BF Blue Blaze, BF Purple Prism, 30d C Ice Ice Baby, 10d LAC/AD Green Glitter, 10d WW Ocean Grotto & Teal of Fortune.
All the following photos were taken over a few days because Day 1 decided not be sunny. Day 3 provided the sun for better pics but I spent the morning cleaning out bottles with remover so I'm showing some abnormal tip wear and silver smudges. Peacock has been layered over Sally Hansen (Xtreme Wear) Black Out. The glitter has a low profile and applied surprisingly smooth, needing a topcoat only for extra gloss.

Sunlit bottle shot
Under daylight lamp. Inset shows macro shot of glitter.
Day 1, lamplight
Day 3, indirect daylight
Day 3, early morning sun
Day 3, afternoon sunlight
I left this photo blurry because it happens to be the only one that shows how sparkly this really is. It’s an indoor shot but in sunlight.
Apparently this one was underwhelming for most of you so I'm adding the brief video clip I had initially decided not to include. The video is located here on YouTube. -MK
Very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get those flip-top plastic vials? I know I've seen you mention it before, but it escapes me...
ReplyDeleteIt was on my post about a Hobby Lobby glitter set of 24 or 26 vials which I purchased two of. Unable to find empty vials like those, I kept one set, bagged the second and refilled the vials with my own glitter. Technically, its the caps that make them so handy and those are called, dare I laugh, orifice reducers. You can buy these separate from the vials (from several companies) but no exact matches to the Hobby Lobby glitter set.
DeleteHmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
my weblog: Nail ideas, ,

DeleteHmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long)
ReplyDeleteso I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say,
I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still
