Another franken and yet another haul
I was going for a navy blue holo here which looked perfect in the bottle but when I put it on my nails it was more like a medium blue-grey. I'm afraid if I add any more polish to darken it then the holo effect will disappear completely. Anyways this is 3 coats of my franken.
Then I stamped it with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes and BM20.
Now for an awesome glittery haul:
Kleancolors from L-R:
Starry Blue
Black Out
Blue-eyed Girl
Chunky Copper
Born to the Purple
Green With Envy - seriously sick and tired of this polish name!
L-R:
Chunky Holo Purple
Metallic Green
Midnight Queen - looks promising for layering
Metallic Aqua
Metallic Red
The chunky holos don't quite thrill me but I bought one since everyone seems to be going gaga over them. The metallics I bought for stamping. These were about $29 shipped to Canada in total, so a little more than $2.50/bottle and no tax. Pretty decent. I don't want to post where I ordered them from because I'm having a minor customer service issue that hasn't been resolved yet but I'm sure most of you can take an educated guess ;)
Ahhh and now my polish count is well over 400! Think it's time to slow down.

Well no friggen wonder...
This polish was found at Big Lots for $2 - Paint and Peel in Crush. I was surprised to read that it's Canadian. However I'm not surprised they were selling it at Big Lots. This is 2 coats and although the finish looks nice here, it's really not. The texture of it was pretty uneven.
I stamped it with BM20 in OPI's Russian Navy Matte. And again I should have left it alone haha. But I had this great idea...
And once again the execution didn't go so well. The problem was that I bought some really shitty tape and the OPI polish actually ate through it! I was peeling tons of little polish covered pieces of tape off my fingers and I ended up getting pissed off and freehanding some really uneven lines...oh well.
So the Paint and Peel? Yeah I peeled it. You can't put 'peel' in the name of a polish and expect us not to peel it right? So did it peel off? Sure. Did it peel off cleanly? Fuck no. Did it damage my nails? Hell yes! Will I wear this polish again? Fuck no. And that is why this polish is sold at Big Lots.
