BLACK KNIGHT LAYERING

*sigh* it sucks being sooo skint ! 

Anyway, I'm sure you all saw this layering combo by Scrangie, well it was gorgeous right.

Anyway I really wanted tart with a heart but after my recent cash flow crisis I wasn't able to but the other day whilst attempting to organise my stash I came across this really old thick polish  

It looks all yucky in the bottle now but irl, it's a real pretty colour with loads of holographic sparkles and I thought it reminded me slightly of tart with a heart, so since I was already wearing my black knight franken I thought why not and slapped it on

 well I was kind of blown away, no it doesn't look like Scrangie's layering but it still looked pretty amazing ! 

The base colour wasn't black anymore it was more a duochromy plummy now and it has a tonne of sparkles in it which shine like crazy ! it doesn't look as awesome in the photos as what it does irl though ! 

holographic sparkles !!! 

here I tried to capture the colour shift 

So, what do you think? unfortunately this polish is a really old one from superdrug, some of you British ladies might recognise the old long rectangular bottles, so I'm sorry if you want this polish now, but I guess the morale of this story is erm... never underestimate old manky polishes because they may just surprise you ; )

Oh and another thing Nail Loopy is now on twitter !!

THE BLACK KNIGHT FRANKEN

Remember I got sally hansen rockstar pink in my swap with Karen a while ago, well I set to work straight away and started  making my franken


I had this black nail polish from Loreal which was really thick so I added some thinner, there was just under 1/3 of black polish left in the bottle and then I started adding the glitter I think I added the same amount of rockstar pink as there was black and lo and behold this beautiful polish was born ! 


I really like the black knight and if I hadn't found this quick and cheap franken I would have bought the original, anyway you'll have seen the same recipe on loads of blogs already but I wanted to share mine with you because I loovvee it ! : )

Oh, I also added some loose blue glitter which you can see on the middle finger, looking at it now, it might have been better to use a smaller finer glitter, but you can't tell irl !

Wow, is that just not beautiful?

 I love the person who came up with this recipe and shared it, they saved me a lot of money, thankyou ! 

Anyway's as if this wasn't enough tune in tomorrow to see what I layered over this baby !
