Glitter franken with polish destined for the giveaway box

COATS:
2
SOURCE:
ABOP Franken = Le Chat Nobility glitter polishes that didn't look so hot on their own + bits of this and that. Details below.
COMMENTS:
I was planning to get rid of the glitters in question when I decided to mix up bits each one with some other polishes to see what I got. I like the result, although of course it requires at least two thick layers of topcoat to smooth over.




Back (L to R): Milani Fierce Foils - Milan, Sinful Colors - Dream On, Hard Candy - Lava
Front (L to R): Le Chat Nobility - Ruby Red Glitz, Golden Glitz, All that Glitz, Silver Glitz, Hotrod Purple.

Frankenpolish using Sinful Colors - Nail Junkie

COATS:
2
SOURCE:
ABOP franken = Sinful Colors Nail Junkie + pink glitter polish + teal creme polish + blue/green shimmer polish
COMMENTS:
I like Nail Junkie a lot but wanted something darker that would give me good coverage in two coats. This is what I ended up with after a bit of mixing.

COMMENTS:
I enjoyed this combo - especially since after swatching the darker polish I realized I didn't like it enough to wear it on its own. Good thing it doubled as a stamping polish.

I really wanted to like this color but when it took 3 coats for full coverage I knew I probably wouldn't be keeping it.  It's nice enough otherwise...
