New Year's Franken

This is what I wore (and am still wearing) for this new year. This is a franken I made on NYE with multiple sized silver hex glitter, and multiple sized holo hex glitter, as well as some micro holo glitter. I decided to call it, Resolutionary. I can't wait to try layering it.

This is two coats of Resolutionary with no base coat and 1 coat of Seche Vite.

 

 

I'll have some New Year's resolutions and more to post tomorrow.

Much Love, The Dragon Lady
