• Pinky and the Brain (franken)


Hello beautiful people!
There are some new Essence products in Greece, finally!
I did a small haul and got this beautiful topper among others.
Essence 13 Mrs and Mr Glitter
Clear base with green, turquoise and blue hexagon glitter

I tried it on top of dark blue nail polish and it was very pretty but I wanted something more. These glitters scream Deborah Lippman and indie polishes to me so I HAD to do it. I had to franken! :D

I didn't want a similar colour for base so I chose a pink one, Catrice 160 Sweets For My Sweets.
One empty nail polish bottle,
the base colour (Catrice Sweets For My Sweets),
the glitter polish (Essence Mrs and Mr Glitter),
a clear nail polish (China Glaze First & Last)

At first I just added the base colour and the glitter polish but the glitters weren't that visible. So I added clear polish till I could see the glitters but the polish didn't need a dozen coats to be opaque.

And here's the final result!
Meet Pinky and the Brain! The name is totally crazy, I know, I have no idea how I came up with it! LOL!

Swatches
The left one is 3 coats and the right one is only 2 coats. On my nails I needed 1 thin and 1 thick coat.

What do you think? Should I make a milky white base one as well?
Do you prefer this kind of polishes or do you like to add the glitters on top?


Bonus (thanks Anna!!)

  2. Looks awesome! I adore the name and I think that you should do a triple franken: 2 glitter polishess (different sizes and colours) and a milky white base. Love your creation my dude <3
