I saw a mani on Pinterest awhile back and just loved the look. I was a simple Black with a nude accent nail with the black stamping. I loved the look at for my flowers I knew it had to be this. I would link to the original post but pinterest is not working or down or something. I'll add in the link later. Enough for now... 

Day 11- Polka Dots

I wasn't quite ready to take off my franken yet, so I just added my polka dots, for this I didn't really plan anything just grabbed some neon colors and started dotting. 

Please forgive the huge black smudge on my thumb, Lol I had no idea it was there till after taking my photos. I was recreating my Black & White Nails on my mother's nails, and well I must of got the black polish on me, oh well not much to do about it now. 

Used: 

Base coat of Elmer's Glue

3 thick coats of my polish

Used a Dotting tool and 

Color Club- 

Wham! Pow!

Warhol

Chelsea Girl 

and Nina Ultra Pro- 

Lime Light

This was quick and easy I used a small dotting tool, and just kind of stippled them on, starting from the cuticle up. 

Frankening a Dupe

I had wanted to try to make a dupe for Butter London's The Black Knight for awhile now. Now I would of loved to just go out and buy the set last year. When I first saw swatches I knew I wanted it but of course I also knew it wasn't going to happen. I simply couldn't afford it. I figured I could franken a dupe like many others it didn't look too difficult, But I soon forgot all about that idea until yesterday. I remembered this post from Chalkboard Nails with two different recipes.

I did this a little different then those two. Actually I kind of combined the recipes.
What I used:
Sinful Colors Frenzy (poured out about 1/3 of the bottle)
Wet N Wild Sparked (only filling the bottle of frenzy until it was 3/4 full
Then added Pure Ice Black (sorry don't know the name the label fell off of my bottle a long time ago)
And the just shake it up until your arms just about fall off. Thats is your done.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. I have found another recipe to dupe The Black Knight, using Sally Hansen's Rockstar Pink, since it actually has all the same colored glitter in it as TBK. I have a bottle of this and actually a Wet N Wild one that is the same glitter Sorry not near it but its from the old Craze line they had. Just the glitter and add some black and thats it your done. I'll be trying this one soon.  Here is the post I found mentioning using this glitter.

Ok enough talk on to the pictures:

Used:

My Fanken- 3 thick coats ( I haven't named this yet hmm I'll come up with something) 

Gealous- 1 coat
