Frankenstine Polish:
Forrest Gump Collection, Part 1

So.. I basically failed my 31 Day Challenge. To make up for it at this point, I'm bringing you a sneak peek at the latest collection by Frankenstine Polish: 
Forrest Gump Collection

First off, I have Life Is Like... Based on the memorable Forrest Gump quote "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." 
Life is Like... by Frankenstine Polish

This polish, like the quote describes, contains black microglitter and brown holo microglitter in a chocolate brown to copper-y base.
Like the quote says, you never know what you're gonna get. Bam! This baby also has a subtle holo shimmer to it as shown below:
I used:
Sephora by OPI Base Coat
2 coats Frankenstine Polish Life Is Like
Essie Good to Go Top Coat

Next up from the Forrest Gump collection, I have Lt. Dan:
Lt. Dan by Frankenstine Polish

Lt. Dan is a glitter topper inspired by the character of the same name: Lt. Dan Taylor. This topper contains large gold hexes and red stars, medium green hexes and blue microglitters in a clear base. I did experience glitter curling with the larger glitters (i.e., the gold hexes and red stars), but this was fixable with a good coat of Seche Vite. Considering the color scheme of the glitters involved, I thought this topper would be perfect over Life Is Like:
Don't you think Life Is Like accentuates each aspect of this topper amazingly?!
I used:
Sephora by OPI Base Coat
2 coats Frankenstine Polish Life Is Like
2 coats Frankenstine Polish Lt. Dan
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
