Franken: Invidia / Envy

Sorry for interrupting the mini Lynnderella series but I thought I should do a brief post on a franken I had made a short while ago. ^_^ It's been a long time since I've dabbled with frankening because I didn't have many empty bottles or interesting glitter polishes to work with. But recently, I chanced upon some green glitter polishes and took the opportunity to make another franken when I received a small complimentary bottle of Seche Vite with an old polish purchase. (Yes, I emptied the SV into my usual bottle of SV ;) ) Although I didn't have much to work with, I was rather pleased with how this turned out:


Invidia / Envy. One/two coats over Illamasqua Rampage. Envy is a mix of large and medium hex and small round green glitters with a handful of brooding black glitters and an occasional flash of gold from some green/gold color-shifting glitters in a clear base. Best layered over dark colors for that truly sinister look. :vD

What do you think of Invidia? Envious? ;)
I only wish that the glitter could be slightly more dense - the polishes that I used had a surprisingly generous amount of suspension base >.<

To be honest, I had been mulling over creating a '7 Deadly Sins' collection (and other collections) ever since the start of this year. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford the franken supplies to play with (especially the suspension base) so I have to put all my ideas on hold. :(

Do you know where I can get some suspension base?

  2. That looks pretty! :D And that 7 sins series is an interesting idea. BTW, Pam of Girly Bits sells frankening supplies on her site! Last I checked she had a franken starter kit for $25, in which we get three 15ml bottles of suspension base and some glitters/pigments. I think it's a pretty good deal if you want to franken for personal use! :)

    I wish I could make such a gorgeous green jelly but I didn't :( The beautiful green base is Illamasqua Rampage - I just topped it off with my glitter franken ^_^ I really love this combi!

    p.s. If you like, you can see the whole of the 7 Deadly Sins collection that I've done up recently. This green glitter franken is part of that collection :))
