It is all about Hello Kitty
This is just one of whose manicures that no meter what, i just can not wait any longer to share it with you. I will revel some details about polishes i used here tomorrow. The only disappointment is that "giant stamping Kitty" fits only on 2 of my nails, i try really hard to do the same design on all the nails, but i gave up after many times, it just too big :)
FrankenPolishing Expirience - Part1
This is going to be a series of post about my experience with frankening polishes.
I was always inspired by people making their own polishes, especially i admire work of Frankepolish blog, and want to thank her for useful tips.
So i always wanted to try it - because it look like really fun to do, colors can be wonderful, and does not look to hard to make. (he-he)
Since i am not sure how it all going to turn in, i decided start to do it with the supplies i have, without ordering additional stuff. ( partially the hole decision to franken is based on the economical situation in my valet)
In this part i will provide you with some tips how to clean old bottles from polish, so you can use it for frankening,m instead of order empty bottles. It is not really hard task but require some pation :) Another good reason to start with old bottles, is because you can use smaller size bottles which will require less supply waste.
I started with picking some smaller size all polishes, and when added acetone to it. Actually to simplify this task i made a cone out of old coke can, just cut it with scissors.
i let the the polish melt for about 20 minutes and then located it upside down to let ti float from the bottle. You ll need to repeat it several times,letting it melt for 10-20 minutes each time acetone is added. I was afraid to drain this stuff in the sink or toilet ( glittery toilet is not my big dream lol ), so i used another coke can. it is also very cool that you can leave the bottle upside down, like this
After all those precedures you ll end up with clean enouth bottles that can be used for frankening and expressing your creativity
However i realized that i totally suck in mixing polishes.. i spent like 4 hours playing arround with samples,and i didn't like a thing... really, this is not as easy as it may look. So stay tunes for Part2 , to see if i can make anything to put in my clean bottles.

Last Dream in the Morning
This manicure reminds me of something light and fragile, that will just fly away from you forever if you ll try to catch it.
The base color is Essie "Carousel Coral" - amazing color, that i love so much, but cant use often, since it goes with nothing from my cloths or accessories, and not in my color type pallet. But i still just love it, and enjoy it on my nails from time time

Summer Nails!
DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON THE OLDER POSTS LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO VIEW SEVERAL PAGES OF MY NAIL ART*********
This is aqua blue acrylic with white & silver mylar stars. I finished with a gel top coat. Now you're extra famous Ally!
Fourth of July rebel! This is a fun spin on fourth of July nails. The blue tiger stripes were painted on with polish.
These are little pink mylar flowers added into the acrylic. If you're a regular reader of my blog I'm sure you're not surprised that I added pink dots!
This is a fun design I did with mylar dots. I put a thin layer of acrylic on and then added the dots on top while it was still a little wet. Then I added clear acrylic on top of that. I finished with a gel topcoat for extra shine!
This is pink and white acrylic with little painted white dots as an accent. I did the ring fingers with an opposite color scheme of the other nails.
