I have another custom polish for you today. Again I don't want to call this a franken, because it's not actually made from the parts of any other polishes, it's made from all new ingredients.
As you can see, this is a strongly pigmented rich green holo. I wore this for a couple of days last week and it really was rather spectacular. Because it's not your everyday colour I got so many comments on it! I also played a round of golf on friday at our corporate golf day and my boss even asked if I specifically put on this green polish because I was playing golf. Because of that, I've called this one "Fairway Green"
I made this polish using the new polish tints I got with the suspension base. It was only when I was making this polish that I actually realised how awesome these tints are. You see I got seven tint bottles:
- Black
- White
- Red 6 (orange red)
- Red 7 (crimson red)
- Red 34 (magenta)
- Blue 1 (light green based blue)
- Ferric Ferrocyanide (dark blue)
- Yellow 10 (canary yellow)
- Yellow 5 (golden yellow)
So what's so good about them?, well you just need to take a look at the bottom of a bottle of polish. Take this bottle of China Glaze LOL for example.
The important colour information is listed at the bottom. The color in LOL is made using a combination of Ferric Ferrocyanide and Red 34. I just need to keep tweaking the quantities of each one until I get the polish colour to match!!
The Fairway Green polish above was made using Ferric Ferrocyanide, Yellow 10, spectraflair 1500-35 and suspension base.
I can't express how much fun I have playing mad scientist with all this stuff.
