Scandalously Polished was my inspiration, she is a FRANKEN QUEEN *bows down*, she makes such great frankens, so I had to try at least ONCE...;)
So my goal was to make a blue holo, did I succeed? you tell me?
I have to admit this "creation" process was fun (after I was done of course)!
Next time I'll test my colors on a piece of foil "drop-by-drop" before I start to mix in the bottle like ABOP suggested, that way I will have some idea what color it will turn out to be..and it won't be a complete mystery!
I love it, I was shooting to recreate China Glaze DV8, and I think I came pretty damn close!!
Not a dupe, but it makes me happy! :)
Here is the recipe:
OPI "Blue Moon Lagoon" (an old Holo in my new giveaway)
"Turquoise"sheer jelly by "Mavira International" (Very strong color. Got this at the nail show)
Nfu-Oh #61 (to boost the holo)
Essence "Caribbean Sea" (this was to give it the same color and a little more opaqueness)
Because it was my first franken, I didn't really keep count, but I used mostly the OPI and the "Turquoise Jelly"
And because I love Prince, I've decided to name all my frankens after his songs, so this one is "Computer Blue" Hee hee.... LOL...Happy Friday!!!
Wow what a beauty! Id love this shade!
ReplyDeletegorgeous creation! that's so much prettier than DV8. it has more of a tropical feel to it.
ReplyDeletedid i overlook your recipe? i must know how you made this beauty!
Great franken! Do share what you used, esp for the holo base.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous!!!! You did a great job. So much better than China Glaze DV8:))
ReplyDeleteawesome! I'm so lemming DV8! which polishes did you use?
ReplyDeleteOoops, I forgot the recipe, I'll add it now :)
ReplyDeleteooh, that's so pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous franken. Seriously, it is stunning. I like the name, too. :D
ReplyDeleteI learned the hard way to do little tiny mixes, before committing full bottles of this and that to the big shake. *sigh* The polish I have thrown away... *sad*
ohmygod this is AWESOME!!!!! I can't believe you frankened with BML though lol. I refuse to franken my old OPI holos bc they cost so damn much on ebay =(
ReplyDelete@scandalous- yeah I know, but this idea, had been nagging me for months, so I just said "What the hell" :)

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, and trust me, now that I have done it, I can say "Don't be worried, just try it"...but make sure to mix the dots of polish on foil before you do the "BIG SHAKE" (ala Icequeen)..LOL :)

ReplyDeleteSo, so DANG pretty!!! I was *about* to attempt my first franken yesterday but didn't quite get to it (got too tired while cleaning out bottles - LOL!) but you've put the fire under me once again!! I've been buying cheap polishes and other stuff (ballz, thinner, etc) for frankening for a couple months now. I think I'm stuck in the "prep" stage! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG I'd pay for that!!!!! Its GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeletelove it! still working up the nerve to try my own. afraid I'll just end up w/a butt ugly franken & waste all that polish! LOL! nice job & congrats! :)
