Hey everyone, today I am very excited to share my first franken polish. I always thought that making franken is really not my kind of work. I just enjoy painting my nails and doing nail art. I thought to give it a try last weekend.
My franken is a mix of of neon green, black and gold glitter suspended in a clear base. I thought a lot of names for it and finalized on "Greenie Apple". This is how it looks when swatched on a white base:
For all of you who don't know what a franken is, here is a bit about frankening:
A franken is a customized mixture of nail polish which can include glitter, pigments, eye shadow or clear polish. Frankening is done to create a unique polish that isn't available or to replicate another polish.
How I made it?
I started making my franken with a clear suspension base (from misfits on 8th ). Then I added black square glitter (from misfits on 8th ), neon green glitter (from Borough Babe Supply) and glitter mix (from JessiGeeWhiz ) in equal quantities (1/8th of a teaspoon). I also added a steel ball to mix the glitter properly in the bottle. I kept the bottle for a week to check out how the mixture turns out.

Creating franken polish is super fun as you don't know how the final result will look :P
