Nars Super Orgasm from Yorokobi Set

Today's manicure is Nars Super Orgasm from the Yorokobi set. I bought the set at Sephora for $39. It contains mini blush, lipgloss, and nail polish in quantities as follows:
- 0.12 oz Blush in Super Orgasm (peachy pink with gold glitter)
- 0.14 oz Lip Gloss in Super Orgasm (peachy pink with gold glitter)
- 0.25 oz Nail Polish in Super Orgasm (peachy pink with gold glitter)

Super Orgasm is a sheer salmon pink base with pink shimmer and loads of chunky gold glitter. It swathed sheer in three coats on my wheel, so I decided to layer it over Rescue Beauty Lounge Smitten since it's a mini bottle and I didn't want to waste layers and not achieve opacity.
I like this polish, but the quality is not up to NARS standards and it could be duped easily enough with a pink shimmer and gold glitter layering combo.
Sorry about the tipwear. I did this manicure on Sunday night and it was raining on Monday, so I had to wait until Tuesday for the sun.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of RBL Smitten, one coat of Nars Super Orgasm, and one coat of Seche Vite.

NARS Desperado and King Kong

Natural Light and Flash

Desperado is a new Spring color from NARS. It's a gold metallic foil with green microshimmer. Nars describes it as antique brass.
King Kong is a Vintage shade that was recently re-released. It's a warm, almost pinky coppery-brown with metallic shimmer. Nars describes it as brown with gold shimmer.
Both are available from Sephora, Dept Stores, and directly from Nars' site.

These manis are one coat SpaRitual Lacquer Lock basecoat, two coats of polish, and one coat of SpaRitual Tout de Suite topcoat topped with one coat of Seche Vite. Please excuse the cuticle frazzle.

Franken: Green Jelly/Zulu Dupe Attempt

Today's manicure is my first ever franken attempt. As a green addict, I desperately want to acquire the infamous NARS Zulu - and when I found a recipe for a Zulu franken on the Queen of frankening's blog, I just had to try it. Follow the link for her recipe.
Dr. Frakenpolish's Jackie Green Jelly
I got zinc coated BB pellets for mixing balls from Amazon, empty glass bottles and the bottle of New York Summer Amaranth from Transdesign. I picked up the Wet n Wild polishes at Target. I don't have much experience frankening, but with help from Dr. Frankenpolish, it was like falling off a log.
Dr. Frankenpolish's Frankenpolish 101
I don't think I put in as much black as the Dr., but it looks very dark indoors so it's perfect for me. I tried a mani with Nubar Diamont top coat and it bubbled like crazy town. So I stripped it off and did this one with Nubar Foundation and three coats of polish with no top coat. It's pretty shiny and it practically has a top coat built in with all the clear polish in the mix.
