On the left in both of the pics above is my newest franken...on the left is my (almost gone...) bottle of OPI Mad as a Hatter. I wasn't going for a specific goal with this franken...I just wanted to make a rainbow glitter in a clear base, so I just used an empty mini RapiDry bottle and mixed together a little bit of all the Burlesque glitters and some other random glitters...and it ended up somewhat resembling MAAH! I was sooo beyond thrilled.
I wanted to find a really great name for this. A lot of times when I name my frankens, I'm inspired by my favorite songs at the moment, recent experiences, etc. etc. etc. So, I recently downloaded Florence + the Machine's new song, Shake It Out. It's beyond great! I can't stop listening to (and singing along to) it. Such a pretty song; I love her voice, and the lyrics are great...it's a beautiful song/meaning/etc once you listen a little deeper. I've had a couple...I suppose you could call them..."tough" days lately, and I've really connected with this song, and it's really helped me through.
Anyways, enough about that...onto something more interesting! I swatched these on tape...

Sorry for the weird pictures, haha, but it works...this is one coat of each. Click to enlarge to see it better!! Obviously it's not a dupe or anything, but there's definite similarities. I'm just really glad I could make something somewhat like MAAH because I haven't used it in about a year and a half...my bottle's almost gone so I'm saving it for special occasions only, but I really want to use it! So now I can use this and not worry about it, since I can just make more whenever I need to!
Speaking of Florence, her new album came out yesterday...O. M. G. I adore her music so freaking much. And this album is even more amazing than I thought possible. Trust me.
Sincerely, Cat
