31 Day Challenge 2014 #9 90's Fluo Roses

Hi my dear ladies!

I love roses from the bottom of my heart as I showed you here, and in an couple of post on my blog. Today it's time to share something colourful, because the theme of the day is Rainbow. I saw this tutorial on temperani's space, and I wanted to replicated it as soon as possible. So, guess what?, I try did it. On my way.

Nail Polishes I used:

Pupa Long Lasting Velvet Matt 001 Black

Flormar Matte M01 White Board

Frankie Françoise (pink)

Frankie Chantal (light blue)

Frankie Eloise (green)

Frankie Sophie (violet)

Frankie Vic (yellow)

Kiko Strong Nails

The tutorial I follow starts with stamping some white roses over a black base. I have chosen to draw roses on my nails because I don't have any roses plate to stamp. So I took a very sharpen pencil and I drew a couple of roses for each nail.

When my roses were dry, I used the Frankie Watercolours. 

Frankie? What is this?

Frankie is not a brand. Frankie is how I call my franken polishes, because Frankie is for FRANKen and because Frankie is also a nickname for Francine (that is actually a nickname, but, alas, turn an eye blind, please). I don't have some polishes to use as temperani does, and OPI Sheer Tints are too expensive for me (and I don't found them here in Italy. Do you? Would you tell me where, please?), so I made my own and I called them Watercolour.

(They are NOT for sale and they are NOT dupes of OPI Sheer Tints. Just to know.) 

Some month ago I read this post and I thought it could be funny making some jelly nail polishes choosing the exactly shade I want. So I took a clear nail polish and I added some drops of crèmes (yellow, green, light blue, pink and violet). I shook them very carefully and with all my strenght (screaming out loud "By the power, honor, beauty of Grayskull!!"). I really love them, because a) I have the exactly colour I have in my mind and b) they are very chip, because the only thing I purchased was the clear nail polishes (from Kiko and debby).

Something gone wrong, because if OPI sheer Tints aren't visible over the black base, my Watercolours do. I don't know if I used them too soon (the day after I made them, 24 hours later!) or if something doesn't work on the formula, but there's some halo around my nails. Maybe I have used the top coat (KIKO strong Nails as Ere suggests me) too soon. I don't know why there's those halos, but I like them. They give a more watercoloured aspect to my nails, and I love it!

I made some vivid colours, ah ah! I really like the final result. Please, consider that in TRL my 90's fluo roses are not so vivid, but much more delicate (I must practice a lot with my new lights. I. Must.). Macros show us everything, and when I say everithing I mean everything. Even that things sleeping in the corner of the eye...
I hope you were not bored to see more roses on my blog!
Thanks for stopping and have a nice day!

Acque pacate e dolci risate finché non ci rincontreremo
