My First Franken!

So I finally jumped on the Franken bandwagon. I started with a shitty old polish in a mini bottle and cleaned it out with acetone. It actually took quite a while to get it all the way clean since I couldn't really reach the inside. Using a pipe cleaner really helped get the polish gunk off the inside of the bottle.

I used a total of 14 polishes, kind of a ton lol. I wanted to make coral, but didn't want to start with a coral base. It felt like cheating :P.

Pretty gold shimmer

Pretty!

See the glass flecks?

Then I crackled them just for fun!

Here is a cellphone pics that shows the more orangey side.

Like it? Like to franken?

  5. I just started with an idea of coral and shimmer lol. I feel like you should probably start with an idea because if you just start mixing colors, some colors mixed together make poopyness. I just dripped polish into the bottle from the brush, drop by drop. Totally wrote down the recipe too :D.

  6. Wow that's really pretty for a first franken! I haven't tried it yet, I'm too afraid of ending up with something unusable and it being a waste of polish. :(
