Sorta holo blue franken

I hesitate to post my frankens because I make them so haphazardly. As such, I hope to give you only a very loose guideline for inspiration purposes only, so don't hold your breath for exact measurements.

Darn, I'm sad this picture came out blurry (so I made it small :p), but I still like how its half with sun beam half without :)







This is not color accurate, it looks more like the picture above. 

I say this franken is only sorta holo-y because obviously the effect is weak. Sun is required to make it look super special ...







... otherwise it just looks blue, I mean a really cool blue, but still just blue.
















Here is a picture with flash. :)


















And now for inspiration purposes only:

1. Sally Girl- Mean Streak #812152. (Thanks to For Me, It Works for the name!) There are plenty of dupes though, including -
a. Essie Midnight Cami
b. Sally Hansen - Navy Baby  (Salon)
c. Sally Hansen - Blazing Blue (Insta Dri) - this has some green micro stuff though

2. Color Club - Worth the Risque

3. Clear



Have fun!

  3. @Silence is Loud - hahaha that would be some franken line ... everyone gets a one of a kind thanks to my haphazard way of making it, oh wait maybe that is why OPI has problems with MPJ O_o LOL

    @Diana - Oh Thank you! :D

  4. Haha, this is how I make my frankens, just throw things together until it looks good (or not!).
    Love your franken. :)

  5. Pretty, kinda reminds me of the China Glaze High Def I'm wearing right now. BTW, I have that same Sally Girl (#812152); it's called Mean Streak. That was my very first try at wearing blue and I haven't looked back since. LOL!

  10. This is good stuff! Blazing Blue would probably work well too but it'd also probably need polish thinner.
