Remember when I showed you my franken,
Dragon Puffs, layered over Zoya Savita, at the beginning of the month, and it was a complete disaster?
Well, I found two polishes that I
love as underwear for it! I actually couldn't decide which I liked more, so I figured I'd showcase them both at once in the form of a ruffian.
I know, I know... Ruffians are supposed to have a metallic at the cuticle. Yet again, another distinction that I don't really care about. In fact, I looked. I found no official "rules" stating a ruffian manicure must use a metallic polish. So I'm not that worried about it.
Anyway, I used China Glaze Wicked Style (pink) and Gothic Lolita (purple). I love Dragon Puffs over Gothic Lolita because it is a
very close match to the base color of the franken. I like it over Wicked Style for reasons unknown. Even though it takes away from the purple of the franken, I just plain like it, and that's all the reason I need! ^.^
So I started out with the ruffian, switching the colors as an accent:

My hands are too small to hold two bottles at once. Don't judge. You're just jealous of how much polish I save not having to paint huge Bigfoot paws! ^.^

Since I was already at 4 coats of polish (1 base, 2 base color, 1 top color), I didn't want to add another coat of topcoat to even out the crease between the two colors. Besides, I knew I was adding the glitter franken on top, anyway, and it wasn't necessary.

I just love love love this over Gothic Lolita! What do you think? Buenos días. =)
P.S. The name Dragon Puffs reminds me of the infamous song "Puff the Magic Dragon". The word 'ruffian' makes me think of the similarly titled date-rape drug. Therein lies this being like a 1970s dream. ^.^
