Franken: Teal We Meet Again

I just kind of threw this together last night because I was feeling frustrated. Have you ever looked at your stash and thought, "I don't want to wear any of these"? Well, that was me last night. So I pulled out a half empty bottle of Color Club Naughtycal Navy and started adding stuff to it. I added ChG fairy Dust, Maybelline Going Green, Wet 'N Wild Hallucinate, and Misa Indescribable, and this is what I got. Two coats, Seche Vite on top:

It's a beautiful sunny day here so I plan to clean my house. Woo hoo! Well, at least my nails will be pretty while I do it. :-)

Happy painting!

Franken: Mauve Mentality

This is something I threw together. I don't franken often (this is only my third attempt), so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to know exactly what I'm going for before I start, or if I'm supposed to just go for broke. This polish is the result of the latter lol.

Mauve Mentality is a dark mauve with multi-colored microglitter. This is two coats, no topcoat.

I started with Creative Nail Design Creamsicle Carnation, a very light peach creme. I added red, brown, blue holo, purple holo, more brown, and multi-colored glitter polishes. I was just kind of dumping them in there, which is why I didn't put the names. If you want to know specifics, let me know and I'll post them. I ended up with this. Not bad for my second try, right? :-)

Happy painting!

Franken: Leaving Pine Valley

This polish has a forest green base with light green, silver, and pink shimmer.

Two coats, Revlon topcoat.

My original franken was called Pine Valley, and it looked like this (two coats, Seche Vite topcoat):


The recipe for the original was three parts Icing Envy and one part Color Club Naughtycal Navy. I made this years ago and only wore it once or twice. I was going through my stash today, saw it sitting there, and decided to do something with it.


I added about 20 drops of Wet 'N Wild Hallucinate, which is has pink, silver, and light green glitter in a clear base. Next I added about 10 drops of Maybelline Go Go Green, 10 drops of Zoya Bailey, 5 drops of Sinful Colors Mint Apple, and 5 drops of China Glaze Naked. I shook it all up and got a dusty forest green with subtle shimmer.

The formula was pretty darn good, I must say lol. It dried to a sheen rather than a shine, and it was a tad on the grainy side, so topcoat was a must.

Happy painting!
