20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
I have received a lot of compliments on my “Jackie Green Jelly” polish, so I decided to make a navy version!
I used New York Summer Hot Sky Blue, Wet ‘N Wild clear, and Wet ‘N Wild Black Creme.
I poured 1/2 Hot Sky Blue into and empty bottle, then added almost 1/2 of clear into it. I used 10 drops of the black creme to darken the mix into a deep navy.
As with most jelly polishes, this took 4 coats to be opaque, but it was well worth it! It is a true navy, and even it low light it still looks dark blue and not black. This is without a top coat on it, and look how shiny it is!
More to come, so check back!

Nice franken! Jellies are always beautiful in my eyes, they look drinkable.
It really does have a nice shine!

Greetings from Singapore!
I stumbled upon your blog while googling what ‘Franken’ means and have been hooked since. I basically went slightly mental going through your blog. I must say this is my fabourite thus far!
