Pink Puke - Spectraflair franken

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, September 8, 2011

Today's spectraflair franken I have called "Pink Puke".  I called it this for two reasons:
  1. the reference to spectraflair being fairy vomit; and
  2. that this is so seriously pink (and I hardly ever wear pink) that I think I may puke because of it.
One thing I get frustrated hearing on blogs is "this polish looks so much better in real life" or " I just couldn't capture all the sparkles" etc.  I hate reading that cause I want to see what the polish really looks like, I need  to see the sparkle.  I think, come-on, take more photos, try different lighting, change macro setting, fiddle with other fancy doohickeys on your camera.  So can you guess what I'm about to say now.

This polish looks so much better in real life, I just couldn't capture all the sparkles.  I really tried.  I did take more photos, at least 50. I changed lighting, indoors, sun, artificial light, flash.  I macro-ed, zoomed and cropped.  I even fiddled with the doohickeys.  Short of photoshopping the pics to make the holo better, this is all I could do.  So please imagine more holoie goodness if you please.






I think it's because of the metallic finish that I couldn't photograph it correctly.  But it's because of the metallic finish that I love it so much.  Even indoors with no artificial lighting, although it's not holo, it's metallic.  Shiney hot pink metal.

Here is the recipe (just in case you want to see for yourself that it really is better in real life). Again using a 5ml bottle (so multiple for a bigger bottle)
  • 5 drops of Kleancolor metallic pink
  • 3 drops of Kleancolor metallic fuchsia
  • 2 drops of Kleancolor metallic red
  • fill the remainder of the bottle with clear.
  • 3 incy wincy straw spoonfuls of Spectraflair coarse grade.
Do you want more?  What colour?
