Dust and dirt

So, there's one thing that always works when I need to find my polishing mojo again: frankening. And the inspiration for the little set of polishes I've made on the theme in this post, came to me when LA Girl released their Glitter Addict line and I finally, finally, got a pure black glitter in clear base in the form of Uninhibited. I have already showed you a creation I made with it, and I realized early on that it would be one of the polishes I'd use the most for frankening purposes.

Well, I'm not typically a pastel girl, but provided I can fuck the pastel up, I'm ready for 'em. I was going to post them separately, but one set of photos was just so bad that I couldn't bare posting them on their own. But first, better photos, of Uninhibited mixed with a cheap and standard creme white from H&M:

Despite mixing the creme with the clear glitter base, only two coats were required here. And guess what? It doesn't have a name. I've been lousy at coming up with names lately.

And next, the pink I had to make, to be able to wear pink in a proper alizarine way.

Not good photos, sorry, but you probably get the overall idea. To get this pink even more dirty looking, I added some Misa Grey Matters to it, which gave the shimmer component. The larger part of the polish is another standard H&M mini, from an old Summer Nails mini set, called Neon Pink (but it's not really neon, just bright). I'm not really happy with this one, but still actually wore it for a few days. In its defense, it is a cooler pink than it appears in these photos. Sun can be a tricky bastard.

I have a third one that I'm going to show you eventually, I just haven't had time to wear it yet. And as soon as the sun shows its ugly face, my top priority will be swatching the OPI Spider-Man lacquers, but after that, maybe. And we'll see what you think. How do you like these two?

Swedish word of the day:
smuts -noun dirt
