Name That Franken

Hi there polished and gorgeous friends.

What would you call my creation?



Today I am inviting you to come with me on a little vacation, and I am sharing this archive franken I made last year. 

I don't have a name for this nail polish, but it reminds me of Laguna Beach, my most favorite beach city.  This was a disappointing wet n wild called Psycho (LOL) that has been redeemed by the addition of holo glitter, this was SUCH a bear to take off my nails I have not worn it since!  

TIP:  To protect natural nails and prevent breaks, pile on glitter!  It acts like a suit of armor on your nails!  Cover it with seche vite and if your glitter doesn't chip, your nails are in mini safety suits!  Glitter fixes many ills!

I need a vacation,  so I pulled out some beach pictures to refresh my memories.  If you want to join me jump in!



You know the surf at the Wedge will be good when you see this.



This is one of my top favorite things to do in California, watch the big waves break and see the surfers ride.


The unique underwater topography at the Wedge make this place extremely hazardous for even experienced swimmers. The Army engineers built a dike, and it has created a wedge shaped wave that breaks super high and close to shore, slamming surfers into the sand, ouch.



The below are two shots of Laguna Beach, I have been to almost every one of its over twenty named beaches.  It is a of goal of mine to visit every one of them, but there is a private one I cannot access, unless you live there, and want to let me in : )



I enjoy exploring beaches, do you?


Laguna Beach is a favorite for many reasons, but it is most famed for it's beauty, it was settled by artists. This is a place so dear to my heart.

As an artist, I feel a strong connection to this area.



I am a huge palm tree fan!  It is so wonderful to sit with you on the beach under one of my favorite groups of trees for a zen moment.

Love Hugs And Flowers to you the whole day through. Happy Veteran's Day, and thank you to all veterans and their families, everywhere for your service and sacrifice. I am forever thankful for the freedoms I enjoy because of you.

    1. Hi Wes, Thank you for your help in naming my baby! : )

      That name is very beautiful and befits the polish and the inspiration so perfectly. I don't know if there could be any better name for this Wes! I am open to suggestions, but that is going to be tremendously hard to beat!!!!

      I love to think of the images that conjures up for me Laguna Blue...sigh. I want to create and sell it to everyone who needs some, will you want a percentage for coming up with a name? That would be fair! : )

      You are really cool Wes, thank you for your support and friendship here. It means so much to me! : )

    1. Hello Kristine : )

      I will tell you this was a vial of holo glitter from Michael's. It came in around five colors on a hangy card thingy. The color of the glitters bled and tinted the base aqua, but it worked fine. I put it in a nearly clear wnw opalescent glitter like 99 cent hallucinate. Easy peasy. DIY polish is fun : )

      You are so kind!

      What is your very favorite color Kristine, is it blue for you too?

    1. I will call the polish Laguna Blue Eyes !

      Thank you for your beautiful thoughts on this beautiful nail polish, now with a beautiful new name.

      All of these names you each provided me here would, in my perfect polish world, now immediately be made into polishes, custom, each in honor of you who thought of it.

      This is such a wild and wonderful polish dream to contemplate and wonder about. Could this ever really come true? Like many of life's dreams, OF COURSE it could, but will it? That is always another matter.

    2. This polish now makes me think of the Laguna surf reflecting in xArmy's eyes.

  12. I've been trying to come up with something using everyone's suggestions in one way or another...something like Laguna Blue Eyez Icy Beach Martini? That would be a mouthful, now wouldn't it? lol All kidding aside, that is absolutely a beautiful polish, dear heart. And I think the name Wes came with up fits it wonderfully. :0)
