Above is a quick comparison of some similar colours and two of my favorite frankens from this batch that I made with NYC East Village....

All that I used to make these 8 frankens was, NYC east Village, a shimmery lite blue silver micro-glitter polish, and black and white. I always take my time and add polish in small amounts. (The 8th polish is missing from the re-cap as I have not worn it alone yet.)

I picked NYC East Village, which is a shimmery sheer teal polish for this franken series BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY POLISH COMPANY HAS A SHEER SHIMMERY TEAL POLISH JUST LIKE THIS. In face I am certain that I did a post comparing this very same polish with 6 other brands and the results were that they were dupes.

this was 5 coats and it is still a little too sheer for me

While mixing East Village with West Village created a salivating deep teal polish, just adding black or white or black and white ( Grey lol ) to NYC East Village made some seriously beautiful polish. I am happy with all 8 that I whipped up and have already started on another franken polish series which I will start posts on tomorrow.

Also - I am positive with a little more tweaking, and possibly a few drops of Sally Hansen X-treme wear Emerald City I could totally dupe Icing Dark & Stormy. So if you missed out on China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic, or Joe Fresh Peacock, or Icing Dark & Stormy, mosey on down to a dept store and pick up these two in-expensive polish's and start mixing..... I seriously did not want to take my East/west Village Franken off and wore it for alot longer than my usual mani's.

If you have used East Village to make any franken

polish I would love to hear about it!
