Nails I Love
SPECTRAFLAIR FRANKEN …… Fairywine
Hi Goddesses
Apologies for the
insane amount of posts this weekend. I
have struggled all week to keep up with my ideas, and this is one of those
perfect weekends where I don’t have to do ANYTHING so have oodles of time to
just sit in my nail room and be HAPPY.
So, this is the 2nd
SF Franken I have posted, but actually the first one I made. My outstanding holy grail is the perfect holo
red, and I was determined to make one.
My SF goddess, MORE NAIL POLISH posted on how she struggled to create
one, because the SF *does* turn the red a pinky colour. Didn’t put me off tho lol.
I turned to the
perfectest darkest red I own – SALLY HANSEN Flirt. I figured if the SF made things paler, I might
as well start with something really dark!
So this is Flirt, some clear, and some SF.
And it’s not
red. Nope. Not red.
Or burgundy. Or anything reddish
lol. But it IS a gorgeous colour, and I am
happy with it. It’s just not red :p
I’ve called this
Fairywine because when you look at it really closely, the holo turns to fairy
dust, and THIS is exactly the alcohol the fairies would be drinking in
fairyland lol. It’s also a nod to a
friend’s email address which I have always thought was pure genius – RedWineFairy
lol.
So what did I end up
with ? Something quite mulberry, quite
muted, but quite divine all the same. I
find the holo you get from SF is more subtle than from the brands, and this
really benefits from it – you get exactly the wine-infused fuzziness you would
if you over-indulged!
I am really happy
with this – next week I’ll show you what happened when I went balls-out to
create a red holo …. And whether that had a happier ending.
Enjoy J
