I decided to try my hand at frankening :) As I said in my last post, I brought home a bunch of old polishes from my brief out of town visit to my parent's house. I decided to use some of the small bottles that I knew would never make awesome manis on their own and mix them into my own creation! I used a really old bottle of Crickets polish that was a pink jelly with glitter. I mixed an opaque dark purple/burgundy shimmer by Sally Hansen (no name) in along with an old Wet'n'Wild blue glitter with a clear base. This was the result! Three coats topped with INM holographic topcoat for a little more bling :)
Pretty color, right?! and lots of bling. Unfortunately, the brush in the bottle I mixed in is short, stubby and just awful, so application was extra terrible. This was three coats and it was still streaky. I also smeared my middle finger, which thoroughly irritated me. If I could get this one a bit more opaque and into a different bottle, that would be great because the color is uh-mazing (imo!).
I think I've gotten myself addicted to frankening now...oops! So stay tuned for more frankens to come!!
Thanks for reading! Love you all! <3
