Little Purple Mouse

Have you met my little purple mouse?


She is actually a failed franken. I made her in one of my ManGlaze FrankenJuggs, and had very different intentions for her at first. This is what she ended up being. A little purple mouse. And she dries dull. I am so sorry I failed you, little purple mouse, but I happen to like greyed out colors. No, let's correct that, I love greyed out colors. I think I emptied almost an entire mini bottle of black in this one. And a bunch of drops of white. And god knows what else. 'Cause I sure as hell don't.

But I love my little purple mouse. She is beautiful in her own way.

Still she became the victim of being outshined by another gal. I tried my very first ruffian- freehand of course -with Zoya Julieanne, and my Little Purple Mouse had to stand back.

Though, I really think this is where you can see her true potential. She is greyed out. That's her thing. Little Purple Mouse...? I love you.

Swedish word of the day:
mus -noun mouse
Because some of us just are.

  6. I like the colour, greyed out colours are also a favourite of mine. Conclusion? The franken isn't a fail! ;)

    The Ruffian looks really nice, the colours combine great together. It's also very neat!

  8. Not post related:
    I was thinking here, Glitzerland and Swing Baby seem quite similar.
    May I suggest,if you have them,to do comparison? The one you did between EF and CFTC was great!

  10. Helt underbart fint! Det skulle jag gärna bära själv. Snygg manikyr också, cool och väl genomförd. Du imponerar på mer än ett sätt.

  11. Aurora's Nails: It's not entirely failed, I love the outcome too, but compared to the intital idea it really is a failure. :D

    Steelnpurple: Actually LGM and Steel & Purple are siblings. ;) However, S&P (salt'n'pepa?!?!) got all the glitz and the glam... xD

    Tilly: Yeah, it's pretty neat, but still not the most awesome ruffian I've seen. :)

    Serena: Not too long ago, I couldn't even do a simple manicure without heavy cleanup needs. But then something happened, and I'm now pretty good at swiping nice lines and curves. I think, maybe I just finally relaxed about it!

    Sarah B.: Thank you! :D I really do like to write and have always been a heavy writer, as in writing A LOT. Lol. In my teens, I wrote 10 page letters- by hand. O.o The paper variety, that is. :D And about the comparison: I don't have the ChG. Simply because I believe you're right. :) I didn't want to waste money on a dupe. :D (No, I'm not getting any samples from one of the big companies. ;))

    Michelle: I guess not entirely failed, I like my darling LGM too, but she's VERY different to what I had in mind when I started out! xD

    Regina: You know, if you start out with some of OPI's Got the Blues for Red, and then add white and black (mostly black), and then a little dollop of brown (I used Suzi Says Da!), you'll be onto it. What else I may have added, I don't know. :) And Julieanne is awesome. I love purple. Still need to take her for a full manicure test drive though.

    nihrida: You just oughtta! xD <3

    MissMidnightBlue: Isn't it? It felt so right when I came up with it. :)

    Sminkan: Men du kan inte komma med sådana bra antydningar när jag redan har skickat ditt paket! ;) Och tack! <3
