Easter In A Bottle (New Franken)

The moment I saw Pretty and Polished Party on my Yacht, I knew I had to have it but it's been proving to be a polish that's quite hard to get (but thank goodness for the pre-order thing now!) so I frankened a white-based glitter polish just to fulfill my POMY lemming for the timebeing.

This was what I came up with:

I know it's pretty different but it was good enough for me!

But after I came back from Korea, I added in a couple of the glitter polishes that I bought over there and this happened:

Somehow the extra chunky glitters I added changed the base colour of the polish to a less stark white, more like a very extremely light pink, which turned out to be a nice surprise. It gave the polish a softer look and looking at all the colours, I decided to name my franken Easter In A Bottle becase the colours reminded me of easter eggs!

I happened to be browsing through some blogs the other day when I came across a swatch of Nail-venturous Lacquers Robin Laid an Egg...

...and I was so shocked to find out how close my franken looks to it! YAY! Money saved! :)

The polish was so pretty I decided to use it to make a ring!

Gonna list it on Posh Polish in a couple of weeks (because I already have some collections worked out)!

Anyway, I have another Pretty and Polished-inspired franken post coming up soon. Yes, I'm loving her polishes so much and once again, I'm so glad for her new pre-order system!
