It's Frankenpolish To You!

You must be curious what is frankenpolish eh? Lemme introduce you to "Frankenstein of Polish" (a.k.a Frankenpolish) As you all know in some old horror movies they make Frankenstein by stitching dead human body parts to a body (human body? dunno..hmm) then electrocute it to awaken the so called masterpiece. But I'm here to tell you is that it's about nailpolishes. You call it Frankenpolish if you mix 2-3 (or even 4) colors to make another color (isn't that fun or what?!). You don't need a background on Chemistry to do this!


The most basic thing you need before making a Frankenpolish is your IMAGINATION.

What you need:
 - IMAGINATION
- Empty nail polish bottle
- Nail polish (the color of your choice)
- Orange stick - for mixing
- Color wheel -- super optional!

*Remember that WHITE nail polish makes the colors lighter, BLACK makes it darker (DUHH! LOL) and CLEAR ones can make you mixture less potent (use this sparingly).

What you should do:

1. Think of a possible NEW color you want to produce.

2. If you can't think of any, then experiment.

3. Grab a piece of white paper, then put a drop or two of your chosen colors then mix. You'll somehow get the idea of the outcome by doing this beforehand.

4. Once you've decided what colors you want, start pouring in SMALL amounts in your empty nail polish bottle. Remember also that you only have a SMALL bottle.

5. I suggest choose a not-so cheap nail polishes. If ever you don't like the outcome, you can just throw the contents away.

6. Have fun and EXPERIMENT! :)

Here's what I made recently.


light gray polish, black and some kinda old rose shade
I mixed 25% black, 60% gray and 15% old rose

and jaran! the finish product!!
The finished product has flecks of glitter, which i love! A neutral color, but with oomph! :)
