Franken 'Damp Pavement' - 3 thin coats w/ 1 coat of Nailene Top Coat
Here are 2 more frankens I made using the primary colours ( Yellow, Red & Blue) then adding black and white. This polish above and below 'Damp Pavement' is a nice bright Grey, the flecky things from the Claire's polish 'Yellow Brick Road' showed through and add alot to this franken.... The second franken - 'Sand in My Thong....Sandle, that is' I have added Billie 'Shores' which is a shimmery light beige to this colour 'Damp Pavement'.
I swatched a few colours so I only used 1 coat of Nailene Acrylic Strong Top Coat and pardon moi messy application = I am trying to avoid acetone clean-ups more that 3 times a week. I usually allow the polish mistakes to get washed away during one of the many times my hands come in contact with water during the day..... While I am really not ~into~ grey polish, I am very happy with how this turned out. It is a cool grey with barely any red undertones and those flecky things show up well = = So I am happy.
A long, long time ago, when I would try to make frankens and fail miserably... these were the types of colours I would achieve. Now that I am trying to make browns and greys I am having a hard time getting the polish colour to what I want.
Did anyone else notice that all polish's named "Sand" or some variation of that - are usually way, waaaaaay too pink-ish or have alot of pink undertones. When I think of sand, I don't liken it to whats available out there polish wise = it's not that pink.... Anyhoo- here area few more photos, along with some photos of 'Sand in My Thong....Sandle, that is'.

Below 'Sand in My Thong....Sandle, that is' 3 thin coats and 1 coat of Nailene Top Coat
I used all primary colours to make this polish, plus white and a drop or two of black. I added Billie Shores to this to get some shimmer to this colour. This was 3 thin coats and a coat of Nailene Acrylic Strong Top Coat. I am delighted that this polish is not leaning toward the red or pink side.....most 'sand' coloured polish's are pinkish or have red undertones.
