Franken: Snu Snu

Ozotic and indie brand Dollish Polish have made beautiful duochrome holographic polishes. Unfortunately Ozotic is pretty expensive and Toxic Avenger by DP has been out for a bit. So to cure my insatiable need for this glorious combination I got to work on my own franken. Here's Snu Snu. (Bonus points if you know what Snu Snu is!)





As always I can never good a good representation of the duochrome. Snu Snu is a linear holographic that flashes green, pink, and purple(the bottle shot shows a good example of this). I gave her some underwear in the form of Essie Merino Cool, a dark taupe. She's pretty opaque but I felt the underwear was necessary. And so my thirst for now has been quenched. What do you think of my franken?

Maybelline Color Tattoo

When I first saw Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo Eyeshadow I immediately thought about MAC's paint pots and Inglot's gel liners like from this post. But of course these are more affordable and easily accessible.  I plan on getting all the colors but I decided to start small and picked up Pomegranate Punk(a dark cranberry with light gold sparkle), Tough As Taupe(a brownish grey), and Fierce & Tangy(a bright orange). My absolute favorite part about these, they all dry matte/suede! They are gorgeous and incredibly pigmented.

The last photo is after a swipe of a dry towel. Pomegranate Punk and Tough As Taupe wiped away pretty easily while Fierce and Tangy resisted. But with actual wear time they lasted all day wit no creasing! Pretty awesome in my opinion. Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo shadows retail for $6.99 at Walgreens.
