Color Club - Worth The Risque

I wanted to do a post today, but I realised I didn't have any watermarked photos left, and I'd have to get out the editing software and spend ages fiddling around and then blargh...I gave up. Too much effort.

But now I'm on an orange-food high after devouring sweet-potato chips followed by orange poppyseed low fat muffins.
Yeah. Watch me fly, mo-fos!

So I've decided to stuff the watermarks. If anyone decides to steal my photos to sell their wares on ebay I'll go all Ginger and Liz on their asses :)

So - Worth The Risque.
I was reminded of this when Kaz did her post with silver holos over at her new Pretty Random site today. Every girl should have at least one silver holo in her collection. It's law. Or it will be when I become damn-hell-ass Queen.

This is a really good budget buy for the holo-hos with holes in their pockets.
Not to mention it's great for frankening your own holos cos it's not the end of the world if you waste a bit. I bought 3 bottles from Head 2 Toe last year for just such purposes and have yet to do the frankening. Something to add to the to-do list along with invading a small European country and stealing all their supplies of non-threatening tween singers to form a super-band that can control a legion of screaming girls capable of shattering the security glass encasing the British Crown Jewels.

Utilising the broken-down jewels, I shall power my massive super-secret death-ray and melt the polar icecaps (leaving some over to make a natty pair of tennis bracelets, of course), thus flooding the world. I will simultaneously launch my company selling budget arm floaties in various glittery colours to the masses - therefore making billions! Billions, I tell you! Buy my floaties, bitches! Buy them!
MWU-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAA!

So, yeah.
But after that, I'll totally get to the frankening.

Ahem.
NATO - if you're reading this - I'm totally joking and I don't have the death ray housed under the Sydney Opera House.
Damn. Did someone put sodium pentothal in the muffins?


Yikes! Well as you can see, these pics were taken about a year ago, and it looks like my hands were still recovering from an allergic reaction. Scales and redness ahoy!

Yeah - ring finger is still totally feeling the allergy, there :(
Still - compared to how my hands look now, this is positively supermodel-y


Now, if I remember rightly I think this was 2 layers and a layer of top-coat. There were some issues with pulling, but you get that with all holos. Just remember to always wait until each layer is really dry before applying another - it will help...somewhat.

Still - it's a very, very nice silver holo, and is certainly worth the risk(que) of getting a couple of extra bottles to play around with. I will update you with results of frankening as they come to hand.

Speaking of holos - Glitter Gal (the Aussie company who does fantastic holos) is releasing some new ones on Thursday via their newsletter and you have the chance to win some if you're signed up for it! Unfortunately I'm allergic, but those girls do good stuff and their holos are totally mind-blowing and really cheap, too!

Anyhoo - that's all for now. Gotta find a moving company to help me shift the super secret death ray to under the MCG...
