Franken: The Resurrection

Since my second attempt at franken-polish was a large schooling session, I wanted to try the polish out for a few days to meditate upon it.

• Upside: the color. The pale teal, the flash of purple.
• Downside: glittah! The dense particles that make the metallic nature of that polish coated every last piece of glitter, hence the bumpiness when applied. Adding more clear would only dilute the metallic nature.

Truly a nail polish conundrum.

But Polish resurrection:

I kept the polish on as a base and added about 4-6 coats of New York Color Silver Starry Glitter 105A.

This glitter application meant that the bumps were gone and the blue/teal base made it watery blue, which blended nicely with the silver small glitter of the NYC glitter. Then the blue and pink larger glitter looked like fish swimming around in an aquarium, figuratively speaking.


Fun save, and gave that frankin a few more miles that it would not have gotten.


So, frankens can be saved, even trashable ones deserve a break.















Sad update: the polish survived a day of packing and organizing for a Thanksgiving trip, but this evening a massive chip came off, so now I am wearing E.L.F. Light Red, I think I will toss on some Cover Girl small holo glitter for the holiday.

 I will save this lovely franken/glitter combo for spring time, it's a great combo, and worthy of being worn again!
 (Maybe my problem is that I love all my polishes too much? Hmmmm)
