Ok everyone here it is!! Be warned this is a LONG post! Well worth it though as I've never showcased so many pretties at one!
Some of the recipes were long and complicated - hats off to you ladies [and gentleman!!]! While I like frankening I draw the limit at a certain number as I just don't want to have to duplicate so many steps if it works out fantastic! Due to this I've only listed the ingredients involved not the actual recipes - if you fall in love and want to recreate yourself then drop me an email for the recipe in full.
I'm totally jealous of all of these as they look really beautiful. Now onto the entries! [How to vote on a winner is at the bottom of this post!!]

Alien Blast by Destany
"I love the show Roswell, and I wanted to create something awesome based on the show :) Alien Blast is the name of a menu item from the show's signature diner, Crash Down Cafe, and I thought the colors were appropriate. it's a "top coat" glitter, so it is swatched over blue."
Recipe - Glamour base, clear polish. Sally Girl glitters in blue, magenta and neon green

Awe-bergine by Ev

Island Cocktail by ~tHiAmErE~
"I created this because I haven't seen something like this yet. I have seen Revlon Whimsical at the Revlon counter but for some reason it didn't quite appeal on me just because it's sheer. I want something bright & bold! I wanted something that is Deborah Lippmann-ish but is still unique by itself"
Recipe - Sansan Canary Glow, Bobbie Solar Burst, multi coloured glitters
*****
Lacy Lingerie by Catherine
" I have named my franken "Lacy Lingerie" because it matches a fancy bra I recently purchased, fuchsia with black lace. FuchsiaRama must be considered a neon, because it doesn't dry glossy, but it does dry quickly! My picture is 3 coats of Lacy Lingerie plus one coat of Seche Vite, in indirect sunlight with no photo editing."
Recipe - Wet 'n' Wild FuchsiaRama, L.A. Girls Uninhibited
*****
"I based this on the traditional Mardi Gras colours of green, purple and gold. I wanted a really festive, in-your-face glitter polish! The gold holo microglitter was a last-minute addition, and I'm glad I put it in there, it's pretty photogenic - it's the little red spots, very blingy! Swatching it over black really makes it pop."
Recipe - green round glitter, big green hex glitter, medium purple hex glitter, medium gold hex glitter, gold holo microglitter and Ulta3 Gold Digger

Party at my shell by Eιlєєи

"Peacock is small fuschia, blue and green hex glitters in a blue jelly base. The name peacock didn't really come to mind until after I had put it on.

See you at Midnight by Em "See You At Midnight is a gorgeous royal blue with a shimmer. Although I used a Duochrome Blue Yellow Sparkle pigment, the shimmer is more of a light gold and doesn't show up well in photos. This was two coats and the formula was great! Blue is my favourite colour and definitely my favourite nail polish colour and I wanted to create something a little different."
Recipe - Ultramarine Blue Oxide pigment, Duochrome Blue Yellow Sparkle pigment, Suspension base

Sparkly Turd [or Honeycomb Crunch] by Graham
"I saw my wife answered a poll on face book about men wearing nail polish as 'irresistible' and she's been going on about entering your competition, so I thought I'd surprise her and show her I can do better.
Any man can paint his nails but it takes a real man to make his own."

"Verily Verdant is the colour of lush, rolling mountains - if your average mountain had countless hidden gems, that is! Blue-toned holographic glitter catches the eye among the bright green hexagonal sparkles. A turn of the hand into the light will reveal a mesmerizing flash of ever-shifting blue, green and gold shades from the fine triochrome bar and hexagonal glitters. All this shininess lie suspended within the mid-green jelly base, giving the polish a layered depth. This franken polish looks stunning on its own and when layered over other colours as well. One layer of Verily Verdant over black allows the green-themed glitter to glow in beautiful contrast."
Recipe - Mio Piccolo 03, Orly Here Comes Trouble, Color Combos CTW 507, China Glaze Emerald Sparkle, LA Girl Idol.
