I cooked up two more frankens the other night! I can't believe how much fun mixing nail polish is - but it's a blast I tell you. It's kind of like cooking in the kitchen without a recipe, and it either tastes great or nobody finishes their plate that night. I'll admit, I have about 2 or 3 Franken Fails that I did when I first started doing this (about a month ago, lol), but I got some really good advice, and please forgive me girls, but I can't remember if it was Amanda of Dr. Frankenpolish or Super Jen from Never Too Much Glitter. The advice I was given, was that when you are first starting out, use colors that you actually like before you start trying to turn that ugly color into polish magic. I think that is where I went wrong on my first couple of Franken Fails.
I am only going to show you one franken today and I will have the other one up in a couple of days for you all. The first one is a navy blue with lots of holo glitteryness to it. Again, I would LOVE some help in naming this bad boy, so your guesses are more than welcome in the comments section.
:::EDIT:::
The Asian Girl just pointed out that this looked alot like OPI DS Fantasy, when I checked it out, I must say this really is pretty damn close! I wish I had a bottle to compare, because I think these are about as close as you can get! Here is a pic of OPI DS Fantasy.
