This collection is called Handful of Genesis....
First up is Zeus.
Zeus- god of the sky and all the Olympian gods- gray, bone white jelly with silver flecks and gold hex glitter.
Recipe: 3/4 Maybelline Pot of Gold, any white will do; I used NYC Little Italy and Pure Ice Superstar, and a little bit of LA Colors silver polish I found at the Dollar Tree.
Top coat to go over any of the frankens is called Olympus- the gods' dwelling place- is tiny gold and purple flecks.
Recipe- 1/2 bottle Orly Love Each Other, 1/2 bottle Wet N' Wild clear, and a sample size of Fyrrinae Lights of Tel Aviv.
Olympus over Zeus.
Artemis- god of many things but I focused on the part where she was goddess of the moon- dusky gray blue with gold glitter and medium sized holo hex glitters.
Recipe: Nearly 1/4 OPI Suzi's Says Feng Shui, 1/8 Petites Vintage Gray, drop of black, and mostly all China Glaze Medallion, little clear too.
Olympus over Artemis.
Poseidon- god of the sea- cobalt blue jelly with iridescent, glitter, holo glitter, and green glitter.
Recipe: 1/16th Nfu Oh 270 or a 1/4 Orly Royal Navy would work, whole bottle of Wet N' Wild Hallucinate, 1/4 tsp. Wet N' Wild Fantasy Makers Confetti glitter called Glitz, a half the bottle of LA Colors Art Deco striper Green Glitter found at Dollar Tree.
Aphrodite- goddess of love, desire, and beauty- blackened gold shimmer with gold mica flakes.
Recipe- 2 bottles of Petite's Universe and eye ball the addition of a black, I used Wet N' Wild Black Creme.
Olympus over Aphrodite.
Hades- lord of the underworld- crazy multi-chrome with multi-changing pigment.
Recipe- 1/2 Ozotic 505, 1/2 Liquid Euphoria Nirvana.
Purple side of this polish...
Now, we are getting into the red territory...
Here, it starts turning green...
Matte.
Olympus over Hades.

Gorgeous, all of them! I love the top coat to tie them all together.
ReplyDeletevery cool :) i love how you came up with your own themed collection!
ReplyDeleteThat last one is so pretty! I've never seen such an awesome duochrome.
ReplyDelete@KarenD Thanks so much, I knew I wanted to create something with that pigment from Fyrrinae but I didn't know what until I started this themed collex, it was perfect.
ReplyDelete@Danielle Thanks for the feedback, it took nearly a month to put all these together, so I am thinking it will be that much longer till I have it finished it.
ReplyDelete@ Allya Your name is so pretty. Thanks again, I debated long and hard on whether I wanted to pour Liquid Euphoria into anything, but I decided I wouldn't really use up a whole bottle anyway, so I just poured in half and it seemed to work out fine.
ReplyDeleteI tagged you with the Sunshine Award:

ReplyDeleteOkay...as a GIANT greek mythology nerd, let me just tell you how freaking gorgeous these are! They match their respective gods/goddesses so well! Such genius!
ReplyDeleteI wish you could get these mass produced...I'd definitely buy them ALL. And I'd get backups of Poseidon, Aphrodite. I'd get double backups of Hades and Artemis. So pretty ahhh!
Also, I tagged you with two blog awards. You can come pick them up at thephalangesfiles.blogspot.com!

Thanks Chaos for the compliment I love, love, LOVE Greek Mythology too!
