My First Franken Attempt

Say hello to my franken! I made it one night after studying for hours. I always had this purple polish which I only used once and when I did, my friend said my nails look like brinjals (eggplants) so you basically get the colour it was. This purple had a shimmer to it that reminded my of Chanel Paradoxal so on I went, and I mixed in a little grey to get this! (The grey I used was also frankened by myself last year so I can't really provide you with the exact details on how to get this shade! All I can say is add in the grey drop by drop until you're satisfied!)


This was the grey I used but uh, I mixed in a little purple from the above franken to make it a grey with a slight hint of purple. Best of all, the bottle shows this amazing duochrome effect which you can notice at the bottom!


And this is how the above two frankens look like on my nails! I used the same colour on my ring finger and pinkie btw. I'm a little bummed that the polishes don't really show off their duochrome effect when applied on the nails! But regardless, I'm in love with the two colours! Taken in sunlight.


Taken indoors, under a lamp. They look more grey indoors and purple outdoors don't they?


Love love love them so much! (:
