Franken: Three Queens
I couldn't sleep and I was wasting time, so I figured I'd try my hand at frankening it. Here's what I came up with:
I don't have an exact recipe, as I didn't fill up an entire empty bottle, but it's mostly ChG White Out and a little bit of ChG White Kwik Silvr for the base. The glitter is about 10 drops of CC Art of Seduction, which I had to thin out quit a bit to get it to pour nicely. Lastly, I added a few red hearts from my bottle of Love My Nails Crazy for You.
I really like the way it turned out. I think it would be perfect for Valentine's Day. It doesn't look pink, which is what I feared when I started mixing it up. You can really tell it's red glitter in a white polish. I think if I had some chunkier red glitter and a brighter white for the base (I realize if I'd just use the White Out, it would have been brighter, as the WKS makes it a bit dirtier, but I wanted a touch of shimmer) it would have looked better .
I named it "Three Queens" for the White Queen, Red Queen, and the Queen of Hearts from the Alice in Wonderland books. I think it's kind of silly to name frankens, myself, but I needed a catchy title. LOL. :P Plus, I was pretty proud of this one, so I think she needed a name. Maybe if I was good at frankening, I wouldn't mind naming them. :)
Also, I've never been a fan of the Alice in Wonderland books. I never had anything against them, I just never read them. I think I was too freaked out by the animated movie when I was younger and avoided the books (the same reason I never read The Wizard of Oz). Now I'm thinking I may need to go to the used bookstore and pick them up. :)

Oh wow!! :D I wondered what the white w red glitter/hearts would look like! I love this, it's so weird but very cool :D great work!
Gorgeous; I love it!
This turned out beautifully! Love it and your manicure. I read the book when I was younger. I saw the Disney movie. I love the hearts on top also. Very pretty.
