ABOP Franken - purple shimmer jelly

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2
TOPCOAT?: Yes
SOURCE: Franken = Orly - Charged Up + Revlon Sweet Nothings - Satin Sheets. Accent nails have one coat of Golden Rose Scale Effects No. 2 (love!)
COMMENTS: Yes,  I chopped my nails down as far as I could without hurting myself. I can't tell you how strange it looks to me, but after a break on my right index finger, I decided it was an opportunity to explore options for shorter nails. I got a few of these discontinued Golden Rose flakies from GoldenRose Malta (the furthest I've ever ordered polish from!). They don't seem to have any in stock anymore though. So gorgeous, I wish I had them all!






The next two photos depict the polish color most accurately:

  5. I made franken very similar too this the other day, just with different brands! Yours is much better though. Great minds think alike! Gorgeous purple.
