ask me what my favorite color is.
just ask me.
it's glitter. not really a color, i know, but like a bird i am attracted to shiny objects. particularly all that glitters.
in the world of nail blogs (i follow my fair share) they have a technique they like to call 'franken' which is what you do when you mix colors or create a polish blend of your own. the first time i heard that term i thought it was perfect because it draws such a clear picture of a mad scientist blending and tweaking to create something just right. have an outfit you can't quite match? just franken it. looking for a glitter mix with just the right blend of colors? just franken it.
so the first my my 'Frankenpolish' series is DIY glitter polish which is ridiculously simple. collect the glitters you would like to use, create a paper funnel and add your glitter blend. mix polish and apply.

This is easy but genius :) I have never thought to make my own polish.
ReplyDeletethe glitter turned grey :( I love black glitter It is a shame It didnt stay black
ReplyDeleteNo, the black glitter didn't change. I just used the silver as my primary color and the black and white glitter as accents. :) Definitely give the black glitter a try. xx
Deleteyes black glitter is worth trying have one for make up too
DeleteYou need to make sure you're using a suspension base and not topcoat/clear polish or else all your glitter will end up sinking. Also, it's best to make sure your glitter is solvent resistant so that it doesn't bleed into the polish. Just some helpful hints! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful tips! Thank you so much for sharing. xx
