Polished Indie-d

Hey guys, today I'm here to tell you about Franken Femme!

I learned about Franken Femme from Becca, the blogger behind it all, through a polish group on Facebook. She put out a call for bloggers, and I sent her a message right away. She asked me what kinds of polish I like, so she could get an idea of what to mix up for me. Her blog is great for anyone interested in frankens or trying to franken themselves. She reviews everything from bases, pigments, glitters, and polishes themselves. She also includes a list of ingredients and polishes she used and where to find them. My favourite posts are her glitter tests. For each new glitter, she places them in suspension base to test them for any bleeding or curling issues, it's very informative! So, onto the other bit of this feature :)

So cute!

I know I've been M.I.A. for a while, I've been dealing with quite a bit recently. December 7th was my Step-Father's birthday, December 10th was my birthday, and of course Christmas & New Years. I also found a lump in my right breast on December 23rd, and in the process of ruling cancer out on Christmas Eve, was told I possibly have a brain tumor. I had to wait until after Christmas to have my scans, and while the lump was benign, the MRI of my brain was inconclusive. I am currently awaiting test results from the Endocrinologist I was referred to.

Then on January 11th, my mother's dog got underfoot as I was walking down the stairs. I managed to clear two steps and land my full weight on my left foot. My ankle buckled, and immediately swelled horribly. At the ER, I was treated by a doc who seems to think I'm a drug seeker. He ordered x-rays, slapped an ice pack on it, gave me inadequate pain medication, then discharged me. They forgot to splint my ankle and give me crutches, and I was in so much pain I didn't question it. I walked on the ankle for 3 days in agony before seeing my GP on the following Monday. She gave me a gel splint, refilled one of the medications the ER had given me, and gave me a referral to my old Orthopaedic surgeon. I was in so much pain that my mum, concerned I'd truly mangled my ankle, found an orthopaedist closer to home, and with an earlier appointment. I went in and was told I had, in fact, royally screwed my ankle. I was immediately slapped into an Aircast, indefinitely. It's been almost a month, I will be returning to the doc exactly one month post-injury to see if things are healing or if something else needs to be done.

To top everything off, I caught the flu, even though I got the flu shot. Misery is the only word I can use to describe it, but though I'm not quite well, I'm back.

Since today is Super Bowl Sunday, I bring you a team themed mani! Had to use non-indie polish because I needed the right colours. Who am I rooting for? These guys:
