ATPP does Frankening!

Heyloh girlies! So I didn't want to take my manicure off soooo I decided that to pass the time, I would franken up some polishes. I've wanted to franken for a while sooo this is exciting :) I got a set of Martha Stewart Craft Glitters and went to town with old polishes that I didn't really like, or polishes that I liked and wanted to spice up, or clear polishes... anyways, I made 5 frankens. :) Let me show you what I did:


In the picture above, the mini swatch on the far right of each little color group is the finished product. If you guys want swatches, I'll gladly do them. Here are individual bottle shots:






So what I learned from my frankening experience was that if you're adding glitter to a clear base, even if you add some color, it WILL sink. The ones that were a colored base, the glitter didn't sink in, but the two that I used the clear base in (the white and the blue) did sink. I also realize that I need some ballz. I want to order some but I'm not sure yet. I like the fine glitter in these, it makes for a very subtle glitter look and I like that.

What do you guys think? Do you want to see swatches? Want to help me name them? Thanks for reading! :D
