First Franken - Midnight Sun

Well, having the stomach flu couple of days ago, wasn't fun. And on top of that, it caused that I had to skip one long waited evening with my friends!! Although the feeling was then so awful, that it didn't piss me off at the time, not getting to go there. But since I usually have very few evenings planned during the month, I think a lot those evening I have plans. Well not a lot... But, you know...

So this time I had my outfit for the evening planned beforehand, and I just have to show it here:


(Never mind the wrinkles) And a bit closer the lovely shoes:


Love the bow :) So the clothes were ok, but the problem was that I don't have maching nailpolish! So when I went to watch my niece, I packed along with me some nail stuff, including some blue and red colors.

Ok! I had pretty nice morning there, playing with my niece and watching some How I Met Your Mother (Best show ever!!!) -episodes. During that I did some mixing with the colors I had with me, and was kinda pleased of what came up:


This blueish, purpleish colour with red flakies from the Night Party was what I was thinking when looking the possible colors to use. And I topped it with miss selene 173, which is clear base with mostly purple glitter mixed with silver/hologlitters.

And there are the polishes I used in this. H&M Blue My Mind and Lumene Night Party. I didn't mix these in a bottle, but in a little candle holder which is made of glass. Little batch at a time. That's because I don't have any of those bottles that can be used to that, or even half empty never used polishes that might be good for the operation. But it could be done also like that :)

Here is how it went with the dress


Perfect match! But then what happend? My stomach said its own opinion to the matter, and I didn't get to go and show my matching outfit :/ Well, maybe second try two weeks from now!

And as the title says, I decided to name this franken to Midnight Sun, 'cause of those red flakies (that aren't showing in the pictures..) that flashes from the night sky. Speaking of which, hope the book will come!!

What a Foggy weekend.

So here I am again.. The easter weekend has been - as the title says - the foggiest ever!! When you look out of the window, it's almost impossible to see the trees which are like 50 meters away our house. Not to mention the driving!! It should be forbidden, to drive in that kind of weather. Vision is blocked, and to add to that, our car gets very, very, vapory(?) inside. Yesterday I had to drive window open, just to get some air in to clear the windows! Thank god there weren't much traffic.

Anyway... Got some new polishes last week, haven't yet taken picture, but couple of "first" polishes wanted to come with me. I bought my first H&M polishes, Blue My Mind and (of course) Bella's Choice. I've seen so pretty photos of Bella's Choice, so it had to be taken! And it was the only one in the store.

Another "first" thing was Models Own Lime Light... Went there to find Peacock Green, but they didn't have it so I took that one. More about it later!

But back to the Blue My Mind.


And yep, it totally blew my mind!! Sooooo beautiful! Almost a one coater, I added the second just for fun :)




I really couldn't stop looking at this when it was on. Same reason I just had to put all the photos that I took of it. And the drying! In seconds it was touchable (Maybe stretching the truth a bit...), it sure feels like that in my head now!!

Although it was beautiful on its own, the colour was to my eye that shade, that it just needed some black on it. So with konad plate m57 and special polish black (and lots and lots of time...) I stamped these cute flowers on it


I had to do the stamping like piece by piece, because the pattern just didn't came off of the plate when trying to take all the three flowers. Am I doing something wrong there?! It worked when doing them seperately, but not in threes. Maybe more practise!

And what it is in that picture?!?! Yep, Quick Dry Top Coat by Revlon :) I found it from supermarket, and it was on sale with same brand base coat! I was so happy when I found it, and it has already shown its necessity!! I just wish there had been more these, but I'm afraid this was the only one. I mean, it only cost like 4 euros! And it works!

Jeij, see you soon, I'm off to see Harry Potter :)
