My first franken!

Hey everyone! If you can't already tell, I'm kinda obsessed with holo polish at the moment. And when I say kinda, I mean A LOT!

So naturally I have another holo polish to show you today! But it's not any regular holo - it's my very first franken! And it's a black holo! Gah! I can barely contain how excited I am about this little creation of mine.

I honestly can't provide an accurate recipe because I was mixing all sorts of things together like a mad scientist but I know I put the following products in there:

China Glaze Liquid Leather
OPI DS Desire
OPI DS Original
OPI My Private Jet (non-holo)
Spectra Flair Flex Liquid Silver Powder (from ebay)

I have been searching for an amazing black holo for ages and I think this might fill the void!













Sorry for the blurry pics. The holo effect made my camera freak out!

So what do you guys think of my first franken attempt? I suck at naming things, so maybe you can suggest a suitable name for this one?? :D

    So pretty!!! I'm contemplating getting some of that pigment. I found it for sale on eCrater in 2 grams or 3 grams. This polish totally makes it look worth it!!

    Woooow!!! I'm typing slowly with one hand as the other wipes drool ;). This is soooo pretty! You're right, there is a black holo void... I'd snatch it up if they were sold by any brand. You've done an AMAZING job in your franken lab ;)

    OMG...looooooooove it!  You've inspiried me to try to do my own franken.  I have the non-holo MPJ and hate it.  When I bought it...I was unaware of the old version and new version.  I might use that as my base and work from there.
