LONGTIME LURKER HERE!<BR/><BR/>i tend to go kind of the boring/classic route with a sheer blush, peach or pink (my favorite colors are essie mademoiselle and CND lighten up)... in the summer, however, my fingers look a little too stuffy, so i like to layer CND mother of pearl over the pink so it sparkles a little bit.<BR/><BR/>my toes however, are always painted an array of crazy colors... my favorite combo being nicole by OPI ink-a-dink-a-pink over CND passionfruit poppy (makes it a nice hot pink) or CND souvenir junkie over rimmel tequila sunrise (bright shimmery orange but not highlighter colored).<BR/><BR/>last of all,i always marvel at how you keep those cuticles of yours looking so absolutely perfect and how you get the application right EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME!<BR/><BR/>lots of love for your blog, inesinesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-82643970230678990782008-04-27T19:53:00.000-05:002008-04-27T19:53:00.000-05:00I just bounced here from a recent post, but I've tried mixing clear nail polish and food coloring before. A problem is that the food coloring tends to settle, but it creates a great looking juicy tint. I wanted a clear polish with a tint of red (inspired by red cellophane and strawberry juice tones) and it worked out wonderfully.Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453545248916246324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-78849360505949609252008-04-25T05:16:00.000-05:002008-04-25T05:16:00.000-05:00I've been blending my own nail gloss shades since teenhood and i do mix brands.<BR/><BR/>Any brand colorless or "natural tint" nail polish = Opi's Princesses rule = something I call Cupid's Crystal<BR/><BR/>Any bright yellow shimmer frost + any red shimmer frost = a color I call Flaming DesireSparkinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-65313173624658065882007-09-30T23:09:00.000-05:002007-09-30T23:09:00.000-05:00[...] All Lacquered Up shows you how to customize your polish to create that perfect shade [...]karen, makeupandbeautyblog.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02137201926950106750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-1193256621821558492007-09-29T04:48:00.000-05:002007-09-29T04:48:00.000-05:00Great post-i really love the idea of Frankenpolish, and there are so many great pigments out there to try!

I've seen the new Nicole polishes at my local Walgreens. I just saw an ad in this month's Glamour or Instyle for the new colors, including Cozy Red Rosie, so I have a feeling that within the next month or so, they'll be more widely available. Just keep stalking your local drugstores. I stalk mine at least once a week; walk in, see nothing, walk out. I'm waiting for the day they accuse me of stealing.
