Frankenstine Polish - I Invented Post Its


Post Its - again?  Yes, you guys know I love them, and that is why I am excited to sneak them into today's post.  But it makes sense, I promise.  Also, who doesn't love matching nails to their office supplies? hehe

Here is Nubar Lemon Sherbet with 3 coats topped with Seche Vite.  As much as I wanted to get away with 2 coats, I just couldn't because it was a tad streaky.  If I had maybe done a thicker first coat or just taken more time, maybe, just maybe, I could have gotten it to two coats.  I do love the outcome though.  Um, hello!!?  It matches the Post Its perfectly!!!! hahaha





Now, here is the reason why there are these Post It shots everywhere, I layered 1 coat of Frankenstine Polish - I Invented Post Its over Nubar Lemon Sherbet, topped with Seche Vite.  I Invented Post Its was created for the movie: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

Here is a quick scene from the movie from YouTube of where the name of this polish came from :-)

So now that we have all that background, on the movie, how about a look at the polish!?!  I just LOVE this combination!!!


You can order this beauty by e-mailing Christine, the owner, at Frankenstinepolishes@earthlink.net and check out her Facebook page for swatches!  She is also on Instagram as @christineambrosia and has swatches there as well!!  She has some beautiful polishes and I will have 2 more to show you next week!

I Invented Post Its has pink and blue glitters with holographic bar glitters and mixed in a gorgeous shimmering base that has micro glitters of blue and pink!  It is SO beautiful.  And over this yellow, is another favorite combo of mine now!  I couldn't stop staring at my nails!  It made the yellow creme look so boring without it!



The shimmer was so hard to capture - you must believe me that it is better in person!







I took a few indoor lighting pictures too, hoping to capture it.  Luckily above you can see the bottle and how yummy that shimmer is!! ;-)  Inside I noticed a couple of the bar glitters glowing in the photos which looked cool!



And finally, hello you beautiful macro...thank you for showing your irresistible shimmer!!!! Plus you can kind of see the holographic bar glitters too! YUMMM!!!


Well, I wish I did invent Post Its.  I will just have to continue to use them and match my polish to them :-D  I hope you enjoyed this look at Frankenstine Polish too!  This was my first time using this brand and I really liked the application!  The glitters went on great and the mix was beautiful!

I hope you all enjoy the day!!

Much Love,
Crystal

Lynnderella ChocoLotta Love



Look at that delicious bottle!  Ok, we'll get to that later.  First, my base was Nubar Gold Feather.  Now after looking online at swatches, I feel like my label was switched with Gold Leaf!  So beware if you love this color and are looking to purchase.  I bought this direct from Nubar.  Even looking at their site, it looks like I have the wrong label.  Anyway, I love this color.  It is a gold that shifts to a mauve/pink color.  I apologize for the crazy angles, but this bad boy wouldn't photograph very well for me.  Plus in some pics, it shows my ridges from my weak nails!  Lol sorry!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

As I mentioned a few days ago, the Lynnderella frankens are in very high demand.  Leah Ann LaRowe, who is currently the only seller of Lynnderellas, has created a wish list system. That is how I received this one. Now it did take me a couple months, and I still even have some on back order.  There are SO many of us that want these, so I understand that this is going to be a long process. I know not everyone wants to wait for these from what I've read, but to me they are worth it. 
You can find Leah Ann's site at http://shop.llarowe.com/. You can find her Facebook HERE, which she updates constantly as to how things are moving along in her shop. Unfortunately she isn't accepting wish lists at this time because she is filling the orders of the current wish lists. She will hopefully be getting more orders soon to continue to move through them to be able to accept new lists. 
ChocoLotta Love is gorgeous.  I know, I know! I always say they're a surprise in a bottle...but seriously!  Every time I dipped my brush, I got a new color glitter out!! And you can see it on my nails.  It was like it was changing colors within the bottle!!!  Ok, not really, but it seriously amazed me (I suppose it doesn't take much to keep me entertained!).    There are pink, blue, green, lime green, orange, brown, purple, and red glitters all mixed through in shapes of square, round, and hexagon, with all different sizes.  The main concept of the polish is the brown small hexagons with brown micro glitter.  In the light, these shine almost a bronze color.  I believe the base was clear? It's hard to tell but I think because of the glitter it is more murky now.  It also seems to be matte?  Call me crazy, but maybe that is why the polish has the texture it does.  Which, by the way, I used 1 coat of Wicked Fast and 1 coat of Poshe.

So I do love this polish.  I have a darker brown I was going to use for this, and maybe will try that in the future.  I did like the lighter brown under this though.  I think it lost the duochrome, but that was ok with me ;-)

Friday is almost here...we can do it!  LOL  I apologize I haven't been as timely with commenting back on here!  I do read and appreciate every single comment!  This has been a busy week!  I will try to write back soon!  I am on Twitter and Facebook if you do have a question for me ;-)

Much Love,

My Collection!!

My Collection!!

Going through all my polish last night sure made me exhausted!! I think I was working on my blog and racks for about 4 hours. What a night!!

Please ignore the mess, and trust me, this room is far from done!! I need to repaint eventually! This is my yellow, black, & white room! I will take pictures again once things are more organized! I was tired and wanted to at least show you all what I've been so excited for!!

I've been collecting maybe a year and a half. It's amazing to me to think back to the very first polish - OPI Don't Know, Beets Me. I bought it when I got a pedicure. From there I went on to get a few more OPIs and it was downhill after that!! If there was polish at the bottom of that hill, let's just say I'd roll all the way down it just to see what color it was. ;-)

So last night, I started shaking bottles and tightening caps and got sick of that maybe halfway through the first rack!!! LOL So if some colors are separated, sorry! ;-) Anyway, I did try my best to color fade, but sometimes it didn't work perfectly. I like how they look though, but I will probably redo it a million times as I have this problem to keep buying more!

Mr. CC is the one that actually said I needed all racks, no helmers. I was surprised he'd want them all on the wall, but he said I should be able to see them all. I have to admit, he is right! I love it! And now I can easily grab whatever I'm in the mood for!! I did say 6 racks are my limit, after these are filled (which won't be too much longer I suppose), I plan to get a helmer.

Just some of the mess I made :-D




My amazing hubby working hard!!!

Mr. CC

Aren't they awesome - not even filled yet!





It is my art!!! I'm in love!




 














Going to fix the cord, but I had to show you how awesome it is!!

 




I love that vanity!  I have plans to refinish it very soon!




My amazing vanity seat!! I love it!


It got really late, so I am still wearing my Unicorn Pee!! Here is an older, favorite mani of mine!!




I hope you enjoyed a peek at my collection!! I am so glad you were excited to see it!!

Much Love,
Crystal

*Edited to add*
I can tell I was tired last night - I didn't mention where these lovely racks were from!!!  I went to the Head 2 Toe Beauty store, just over an hour from my house.  They do have a whole online shop, so you can check that out - Here.  Their wall racks are Here.  I bought the 90ct ones!  Hope that helps ;-)
