Terrestrial Nails - Nail Polish Swatches


Franken Nail Polishes are all the rage now in the nail polish lovers world, so of course I HAD to jump on the band wagon.

Terrestrial nail polishes are my first handmade polish purchases. The three polishes I purchased are 'Alice', 'Piggy' and 'Vampy'.

There's not many people in Australia making their own Franken nail polish so you'd be looking at paying a little bit for postage from America but if you find something you love it's worth it!




This is my swatch of 'Vampy'. I used it as a Christmas nail art design.

This is a milky white base with very tiny gold glitter, small red hex glitter and red star glitter.

This is 3 layers of the polish and I kind of wished I had put it over some white polish because then you could have seen the red stars in it a bit better.

It was pretty easy to apply and the stars came out without having to struggle to get them out.


This is my swatch of 'Piggy'. It is a very light pink base with tiny pink & gold glitter, small pink hex glitter, medium gold hex glitter and large black hex glitter.

This is 2 layers over a very opaque pink polish and I liked it because a good amount of all glitters came out in one application.

I like how this colour looked. One thing was that it looked like a matte polish once I was done so I applied a top coat to make it shiny.



This is my swatch of 'Alice'. It's a milky white base with tiny gold glitter, small black round glitter, very large gold hex glitter, large gold stars and large blue diamonds.

This is 3 layers over an opaque white polish. This polish was VERY runny so the bigger glitter was very difficult to get out. I had to shake the bottle every time and fish out the big glitter.

I don't know why this polish was thinner than the other polishes I bought but I still like it and it was worth the extra work to get the bigger glitter out.









Which one do you like best? Let me know if you have a favourite Franken polish.

Wishlist #4



1. I adore nail polishes and I'm really into Franken handmade polises at the moment. This one has been on my wishlist for some time now and I love this nail polish name, it's hilarious!

2. People who know me will know I'm a huge 'Lord of the Rings' fan and this sketchbook would be perfect to add to my book collection.

3. How adorable is this brooch set. I love to wear brooches to dress up outfits, they're such a statement piece!

4. Pokemon! Charmander was always my favourite pokemon and these magnets would make my fridge look so cute. My boyfriend wouldn't mind me buying them either as he is a fan of pokemon too.

5. I love wearing skirts because they're so feminine. This skirt is so funky and the big bow sash completes it, I really like the red pattern!

What's on your wishlist?
