Stamping Sunday's & Another Color Morphing Top Coat

Welcome to Stamping Sundays everyone!

I'm trying out another duo chrome pigment from Anna's Art Asylum #35202.  This particular one shifts from Blue to Purple .  The hues of blues & purples shift from a dark blue to an almost turquoise blue to a dark purple to a pinkish-purple.  It's really beautiful.  I took a ton of pictures & could not come up with photos that show how beautiful this one is.

Formula:

 I filled the mini bottle a 3rd of the way with TKB's Luster base.  I then added 3 heaping straw tip scoops of the color morphing pigment.  Next I added the smallest bit of the purple pigment I purchased from TKB Trading.  I filled the rest of the bottle with clear polish.

The pictures are of the top coat layered over black & then stamped with BM plate 211.  I saw a picture of this particular design on NailXchange's blog & fell completely in love with it.  I didn't have the polish she used but this top coat reminded me of her polish so I decided to go for it.  Of course mine didn't turn our nearly as gorgeous as her's but i'm still super happy with the results.  I'm becoming quite savvy with the nail stamping (pats self on back) lol.  By the way, I forgot to take pics of the polish before I stamped it.  I'm such a goof.  But I think you get the picture.

The pictures were taken with my iPhone because I could not get my real camera to cooperate.  I did edit the photos with the "auto enhance" & blur feature which actually showed the color better than the original photo.  I'm not photographer & maybe one day I can invest in a light box so that my pictures look more professional but until then, this is the best I could do.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Franken Friday ~ Dragon Scales

Happy Friday Everyone!!
Today is Franken Friday!  I know most of my post have been about my frankens lately but i'm enjoying it so much that I can't wait to share them with you.  Today I introduce you to Dragon Scales!!

Dragon Scales:

A multi-chrome topcoat which morphs between purple, to green & to blue.  It was made from color shifting pigments purchased from eBay.  I used pigment #821502.  Dragon Scales is pictured below with black as a base.  It is meant to be layered but I think it's gorgeous!

I purchased this wonderful color morphing pigment from Anna's Art Asylum on eBay.  She is AWESOME!  She ships quickly & has awesome customer service.  I have ordered from her several times & I've never been disappointed.  The pigments are gorgeous!  Try them ALL!  They are priced very reasonably so theres no reason NOT to get them all.  Have fun frankening guys!!  Good Luck!

My Shifting Franken (Red to Green)

I purchased some color morphing pigment a while ago from More Nail Polish a few months back & never  took it out of the package.  This is the same place I purchased my Spectraflair.  Well today, I decided to break that bad boy out.  This is the Red to Green pigment which is said to be the same pigment used in Clarins 230, Urban Decay Toxic & Max Factor Fantasy Fire.  I am lucky enough to have all three & I will be doing some comparisons in the near future.

But in the meantime, I am so happy with how this franken turned out.  I used a clear polish,  purple-ly base and one small scoop of my powder & shook shook shook!!  I tried it over a black base & it turned out terrific.  This bad boy shifts from red to green to yellow to orange & shimmers galore while doing so!!   I also tried it on my nail wheel over a royal blue base & the shifting colors looked much different but still gorgeous. I have so many ideas for this pigment & I'm so happy I purchased it.   Let me know what you think...

Excuse my silly daughter.  She loves poking fun at mommy
