City Under the Sea
Today’s franken is a recreation of a polish that went to live in the U.K. with my friend Vikki. I decided to mix up another one, since she liked the color so much.
The polishes I used to make this one are: Wet ‘N Wild Black Creme, Wet ‘N Wild Psycho glitter, and NYC Skin Tight Denim.
I filled an empty bottle half full with WnW Psycho, the added 1/4 each of Skin Tight Denim and black. I added ballz, shook the mixture well, and was rewarded with this beauty:
This one was tricky to photograph, so I took a couple shots in different lighting.
The multi colored glitter really stands out against the deep blue base like tiny underwater twinkling lights. Your own personal “City Under the Sea”…right at your fingertips!

That is gorgeous! It’s like a disco! 😀 I must say, your frankens are awesome!
I have a quick question, (I know you recommend emptying cheap nail polish brands but…) do you buy empty ones too? If so, do you have any recommendations? I’ve searched online but they’re always trying to sell me 4000 at a time O_O!

Elisa,
I usually buy my empties from Transdesign.com. They sell them individually, and they are very inexpensive. They are listed under the “Bottles and Jars” category, then click the “glass” option at the top menu. 🙂

I love this colour…I could only think of a starry night the moment I saw it!

Amanda that looks amazing! You really need to add a warning label to the bottle though, “Do not operate vehicles or heavy machinery when wearing”, I know I would totally crash a car just looking at the twinkles :DD

Another hit creation. Just fantastic. You need to go into business like the women of Hard Candy did.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? 🙂
Another great one!

Soo beautiful. It’s exactly what I hoped for Zoya Indigo to be, but that turned out to be too dark and the glitter was practically invisible. Again, really beatiful!

Gorgeous! Sophisticated yet fun and whimsical. GREAT for a night at a disco! 🙂
