My first ever Franken.

I started packing for college. And I had to start packing up my nail polish and makeup. So, I was trying to get rid of some almost empty nail polishes and then I got the idea to combine them together. I had an almost empty top coat, my MAC Noctornelle, then I added some green and silver cosmetic glitter and finally I added some eyeshadow (HVC Moshing Pit) and I mixed it all together. After about 20 minutes of mixing I got this really awesome dark green/gray color with silver glitter (the green melted away) with flashes of pink and purple in different lights. I named the polish Glorius. After my boyfriend since he helped me shake it. lol. well here it is.

Can you see the pink?

So here is my first franken. I actually really had fun doing it. I think I'm gonna make some more. I have an idea of making a white polish wit red sparkles. Things like that. It'll give me something to do when I'm not studying in college =]. 

Love,

Taryn

High Voltage Cosmetics Swatches

*Edit* Unfortunately, I cannot support this company any longer. I will still keep my posts.

Awhile ago I received some samples from High Voltage Cosmetics. The samples I received looked so much more complex then the samples I received when I first started blogging. So I decided to compile all my samples from HVC and swatch em all. You can see the difference in complexity for alot of them. I tried to organize them by color. One thing I noticed about HVC is alot of their e/s are what I like to call glitter-mattes (GM). GMs are a matte base with lots of sparklies. Most companies have very shimmery e/s but most of HVC's that I own are GMs. I like that alot. Also many of my older samples that I own have just multi colored sparklies while her new ones tend to have one color.

So here are my swatches! *no primer*

Break the Ice - is a white GM with some nice multi sparklies.

Midnight Oil - is a navy/black GM with multi sparklies

Big Spender - applied patchy but it is a pretty sky blue GM with green sparkles.

Frost Bite - is one of the shimmery ones. It is a shimmery blue with green sparklies and a green shimmer.

Detroit Rock City - is a shimmery light blue with no noticeable sparklies.

In the Lime Light - is a dark teal GM with gold sparklies in it. 

Ice Sculpture - is a light blurple/lavender GM with multi sparklies.

All Shook Up - is a baby pink GM with multi sparklies.

Young Lust - is a light coral shade which i absolutely adore. it is a GM with multi sparklies.

Rock Forever - is a blood red GM with gold sparkles it would make a lovely crease shadow.

Lovesick Junkie - is an orange/pink duochrome. It is one of my favorites of this bunch of shadows. it is a GM with no sparklies at all. But in certain lights it looks pink. 

Can you see the pink?

Heart Throb - is a rust color GM with green sparklies. 

Fairy Blood - is a bright red GM with multi sparklies.

Gypsy Queen - is a black GM with tons of sparklies. There is a lot of gold and purple sparklies which i love. 

Leather and Lace - is a brown GM with multi sparklies.

Secrets and Lies - this one also applied patchy. This is a bright violet GM with multi sparklies.

Glam Rock - applied patchy. it is a dark purple GM with multi sparklies.

Toxic Seduction - is a dark blurple GM with multi sparklies.

Midnite Desire - applied patchy. is a grape GM with multi sparklies.

Bootleg - is a dark dark purple/black GM with multi sparklies. This is one of my favorite purples.

Saturday Night - is a bright purple with tons of sparkle and shimmer. It has green shimmer and sparklies.  

Just a Girl - is a light purple/lavender GM with multi sparklies.

Wild Child - is a mint shimmery e/s with tons of multi sparklies.

New Skool - is a slightly darker mint that Wild Child. It is a GM with multi sparklies. This is one of my favorite greens.

#1 Crush - is a very dark green GM with multi sparklies.

Dark Romance - is a black/green GM with multi sparklies.

Moshing Pit - is an army green/grey GM with red/pink sparklies. 

Mani and Sol - is a forest green with tons of gold sparklies.

Einherjar - is a dark forest green GM with tons of green sparklies. 

Freyr - is a grey/purple GM with purple and red sparklies. This is my absolute favorite of all of them. It is gorgeous. 

Mjolnir - is a grey with tons of gold and green sparklies.

Freyr is too pretty.

Vor - is a mint GM with green and gold sparklies.

Snotra - is a grass green GM with red and green sparklies. 

Most of these are all part of the Norse Mythology Collection!!!

I saw on one blog that if you put purell on glitter e/s it makes the glitter stand out. I thought I'd try it!

So here ya go! Glitters and colors! My hand looks like a rainbow.

Well i hope you enjoyed my High Voltage Cosmetics swatches. I think I'm gonna hold on my next post til next week. I'm gonna try to get a poll up to see what else I should do with my blog. hehe =]
