So the oh-so-amazing and beautiful Robyn of Stay Beautiful inspired me to create some frankens. I'm not the best at it, but I do it anyway because it's fun. I recently bought some holographic car paint pigment stuff called SpectraFlair that people use to make awesome nail polishes. This stuff is crazy expensive, like $18 a gram, but it is so worth it. you hardly need any to make a super holo polish. If you want to buy any (she also sells some really cool color morphing powders I should be getting soon. Just check around on her blog!) I suggest you do so from here- http://morenailpolish.blogspot.com/p/get-powders.html.
I can remember my exact recipe for making this franken. Of course I used the holo powder. I also used the glitter suspension base from TKB Trading (here) and mixed in some random polish colors. I originally started out making an orange but it looked nasty, so I somehow turned it into a green. I think the orange gave it a murky base color. I named it Bog Moss because that is what the color reminded me of. If bog moss was covered in holographic glitter, of course.
This was 2 coats with base and top coat.
Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!
Woah! That's awesome!! Holo glitter is sooooooooooooooo amazing. That's a great green!
