My First Franken! "Pixley"

Pin It
So, for a while i was very intimidated, but super intrigued but the idea of "frankening" nail polish. For those of you in the dark, "frankening" is basically just a term for mixing or making your own nail polish either by mixing old nail polishes together to make a new colors, or by using loose pigments mixed with a clear coat. I honestly did not expect to be this happy with my first color. It smells a little funny, and probably because i used old cheap polish, but i love this color! I've named it "Pixley"
Have you ever made a franken? We're you happy with it? Are you addicted to frankening?

Pixley came out to be a very lovely bright purple color with a bit of a red feel to it. A little bit of blue mixed in gave it some extra dimension. Two different kinds of glitter make this color one that dazzles in the sun.

Here's the process i went through to get this color
Half a bottle of clear coat and started with that purple
Tid-bit of shimmer deep red
Silver gray glitter
At this time i had to shake it up to see how i was doing
I found a really neat iridescent blue and threw in some of that
LOTS OF BLUE!
Then some of that brilliant muliti colored pink glitter
All of those colors came together and gave birth to my first franken baby "Pixley"
I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

  4. I think it looks awesome! I've never "frankened" any polish but I've seen it happening a lot recently. So fun and so cool to have a color unique to any others.
