Franken: No. 2 (Unnamed)

Frankening is fun!



I used half a bottle of the blue and I added 8 drops of both yellows into the blue.

One yellow is a yellow-neon. The skinfood one is shimmery yellow.

So it added a lovely sheen to the new polish which turned out a nice shade of green.

Due to the Faceshop forumla, the nail polish is groopy. And it appiled unevenly. But I love the colour. However, it took 4 coats to have any colour shine through.
And the result of this pairing!

The ones without flash is a truer colour. You can see in the middle of the nail where the nail polish dribbled.

I am looking for a shop in Singapore that sells empty nail polish bottles. And mini ball bearings. ^^

I know there are a lot of sites online which do sell but with my international shipping costs, the bottles then go up almost 300% in price. To have a discount, I need to buy a minimum of 50 bottles.

What's a girl to do?

PS What could I call this one?

First Franken Attempt

I have had Sally Hansen Lime Lights Hard As Nails for the longest time. I think it was the first green I ever got. Click for pic credit. Anyway, its a bit more shimmery and lighter than in the picture above.

But I hated the application, light goopy. It took forever to dry and even then... It required at least 4 coats for any colour to shine through. I used it for layering but finally, just gave up and it retreated to the back of my nail drawer.

Until..
Faceshop BL603 met gold L'Ocean Pearl Powder in Gold Dust. I dumped about a half teaspoon of powder in and possibly 15 drops of BL603. And...
It's soooo pretty. No amount of pictures would do it justice.

Forgive the lack of clean up. But this is one coat over my Skinfood Green Jelly manicure. It's frosty! Shall do pics soon of it on its own.

So what do you think?
