MY FIRST FRANKEN

Ok, so I am just so excited about my first franken that I had to get on the computer tonight and post pics up! I didn't take any pics of what I used to make this color, because to be frank (ha ha ha) I didn't think I was going to like this color so much. I know I used a Sally Hansen that was clear with glitter in it. To that I added a pale yellow. I wanted it more yellow so I added Sally Hansen Lighting, a really bright yellow. Then I added a little bit of Color Club neon blue. It was a sort of pale green at this point, so I decided to add Sally Hansen Navy Baby - and voila! My first franken baby was born :) Contrary to what it looks like, this does have a smooth finish to it. When I first got done with this, I was thinking it looked like that new MISA Dirty Sexy Money, but mine is darker and it has glitter. I'm not one for spotting dupes, but this seems like a pretty unique color. Anyway, here she is:












OK, so now I want to know- WHAT DO YOU THINK??!! Does this look like another color? BTW, the pics without the flash is closer to the correct color.
WHAT SHOULD THIS BE NAMED??

  2. Great first job Brooke! Very pretty. It's deeper and more blue than Dirty, Sexy Money. I like it.

  5. Gorgeous! when in doubt, add glitter.

    Here's a few suggestions for a name: Twinkly Dinky or Just Plain Gorgeous.

    PS You are a good "mad scientist" just don't blow up the kitchen with your potions!

  6. AWESOME!!! You did an awesome job! I do think it looks like dirty, sexy money a bit, but more...BLINGTASTIC! Maybe that should be the name? I like Olga's names too.

  8. Wow, Brooke - great job! I love it, it reminds me of the stormy sea in the last pictures, and in the brighter pictures, of a sunny rainstorm. :-)

  9. JAMIE - Ohhh, I like your thinking! Stormy Sea could be a really good name for this!

  11. PIXIE - Thanks. I think this would have worked better with flakes instead of glitter.
