I love your franken mani! (Blueberry clouds) Pic heavy

Hello ladies!
Today I will be putting my spin on the ever popular Franken Friday, mine will be called, "I love your franken mani!"
I will be making a franken and doing a mani with it.
How exciting huh? I know! :)
This will be my longest post about frankening because it is my first post and I want to explain everything I did.
For those who don't know what Frankening is, its a mixture of pigments (even eyeshadow), glitters,and different polishes that you mix yourself. Like DIY with polish. It is very fun and very addictive!

My supplies today were:
*Nyc- skin tight denim creme (15 drops)
*Sally hansen Xtreme wear - Blue me away (1teaspoon)
*Love my nails Chrome - Silver bullet (1/4 teaspoon)
*Love my nails- Milky way (1/4 teaspoon)
*Daisy BBs (2)
* Empty polish bottle (I had to pour an old polish out)
* Jar to pour unwanted polish into,I use an old acetone bottle
(Never pour polish down the drain)
* Napkin, paper towel, old shirt. To protect the table you are working at and to protect your clothes.



Polishes that I used



This is what I use to pour out the polish I am not going to use.



While I was getting the rest of my supplies ready.



After adding a little bit of acetone to the bottle and shaking it up. Always remember to clean the brush and neck of the bottle. Mine was clean with only one time. You might have to clean a bottle more, or less depending in how light or lark the original polish was.


All of the polishes poured into the empty polish bottle.
This is where I add my BBs aka ballz. Then, I shake roll shake! And here is the end result.




Blueberry clouds.




Blueberry clouds swatched. I really like how it turned out.

Now, on to the mani.
Supplies:
*Born pretty plate m02
*Finger Paints- Black expressionism
*China Glaze- High def (Tronica)
*Nicole by OPI- Give me the last dance
* My franken- Blueberry clouds

I did a simple taped mani with a stamp going down the seam.
Be sure to press your tape against your skin to make it less sticky. Using the tape without using this method could rip off your polish.




Then, I removed the tape and stamped the flower design on it from image plate m02 using Nicole by OPI give me the last dance.



What do you think?
Thank you for reading!

Viernes = Friday
TGIF!

Now, I'm off to work.
What do you usually do on fridays?

Weekly Challenge: Summer

As most know, I'm in a couple Facebook groups. This post is about the group Face and Friends. Unlike most groups, that have just 1 specific day to do the challenge, we have a whole week. Yes, a whole week! Awesome, I know. :) This will be our first challenge. The theme is Summer. When I think of summer, I think of bathing suits and bright colors, don't ask me why because I don't even wear bathing suits. Being plus size sucks where I live, there are no stores that carry plus size clothing. We don't have a grocery store, Walmart or anything. It sucks. Anyways, for the weekly challenge, I decided to do a pattern of my dream bathing suit, with all of my favorite colors. Lime green, bright pink, neon yellow, bright orange,and neon purple.







The colors I used where:
*Base:Sinful colors-Snow me white
*Black lines:Finger Paints-Black Expressionism
*Funky fingers-Torguga (green)
*Zoya- Charisma(Purple)
*Sinful Colors- Cream Pink
*Sinful Colors- Neon Melon (yellow)
*Orange- A franken that I made. :)




The lines are not perfect so, if you decide to do this, I would use tape to get straight lines. :)

Daily Spanish word:
Verano- Summer

In the summer, I love to go to the park and also go to the pool with my son and boyfriend.

What is your favorite summer activity? Who do you do it with?

Nail mail! Yay!

Today, I received some awesome nail mail!
My first Butter London! No more waity, Katie. I never wanted to buy them in store because they are pretty expensive. This one came to me from the wonderful Jessica Kay. Jessica was also nice enough to send me a little gift. California Mango cuticle treatment. Thank you!

In the middle is also another first for me, my very own gLORIous topcoat! From Lori Shadow. I can't wait to use this baby over black (how come I always want to top everything over black? Haha). Thank you.

And lastly, I received nail mail from Traci of The Trace Face Philes. From her, I received Essie funky limelight, China Glaze Electric Pineapple, and ORLY purple crush. :) Thank you so much Traci.






Daily Spanish word:
Caro = Expensive

What is the most expensive polish you have ever purchased? In store, online or from a fellow polish lover?

Monarch Butterfly Mani

Yesterday I was bored with the mani I had and wanted to do something bright, summer-y and have a little nail art to it. I posted on a fb group that I am in that I was drawing blanks and a couple of ladies suggested different things.
I had seen the butterfly mani but I really didn't like it. :/ I don't know why but it seemed boring to me. So, I googled "monarch butterfly manicure" and as I was going through the Google pages, I found this photo.


By Shaina at Haute Laquer
Her blog is hautelaquer.blogspot.com

She was my inspiration. For this mani. :) and here is my version:




In natural light, outside


inside with flash

What I used:
Sinful Colors- Snow me white
Funky Fingers - Cayman island
Color Club- Lava Lamp
Finger Paints - Black expressionism
I used image plate m12 for the ring finger.


Sorry for the crappy picture. I took it with my cell.

Also, today I received nail mail from Jennifer, of the Exotic Laquer.
Her blog is theexoticlaquer.blogspot.com
She sent me Wet n wild blue wants to be a millionaire and wet and wild Night prowl. I can't wait to layer blue wants to be a millionaire over black.

Well, I think that's all for today, that was a really long post. Sorry to bore you. ;)
Have a great day.

Let's get it (Re)started! :)

Hi to anyone that is currently viewing this forum, as you can see, I quit my blog. The whole reason is because I was not getting any followers. But, since I've quit, I have learned a lot about blogs, followers, nails, polish, and myself in general.
I will be posting every Monday, Tuesday, some Wednesdays, thursdays, and some Fridays. I usually will not be show to post on Saturday or Sunday but, if I have time on those days, I will post.
I ask that you respect me, my blog and my life outside of the "blogging world". I will often post about my son, my job, family, and just overall life. But, my blog will be mostly about nail polish,nail art, and all things about nails.
If you have any questions, you can email me at britniyvaleps@yahoo.com in the subject line, please put "blog question". I will try to do a giveaway for every 100 followers.
Thank you for reading. :)
