above, my new frankens 3 thin coats each
Below are the polish I used to create these, Claire's Matte Cobalt and Claire's Yellow Brick Road. Claire's Matte Cobalt is an awesome rich blue, two coats and dried super- duper fast ( no manicure pic's sorry! ) while Yellow Brick Road needs almost 5 coats. I will try this polish again layered over a stark white.....
So this is what I started out with. I filled each bottle 1/2 way with the Yellow Brick Road, then ......
The first bottle got 5 drops, the second bottle got 10 drops, and the third got 16 ( it was supposed to be 15) and this is what resulted. I love the finish on these. The Claire's polish really added alot to these weird green colours. I wish I had another bottle of Yellow Brick Road to create some other neat polish's with this finish..... On it's own this polish 'Yellow Brick Road' is very sheer; I think when I wore it alone I needed almost 5 coats. It definitely needs to be layered over something else.
L to R - Cliche Green, Hulk 1 and Hulk 2
Don't worry the Icing polish's that were in these bottle were Y.U.C.K.Y. and were put to better use. I poured them into another bottle and rinsed out these lil' bottles with acetone. But I have to add that the bottle form the Dollarama in Canada are Fabulous!!!!!!! I will be adding a bunch of photos of the frankens I made with them on Monday, along with some notes..... here is a little teaser photo......
Anyhoo, here is a few skittles as well as the darkest green I call Hulk 2............
L to R - Hulk 2, Cliche Green, Hulk 1, and Cliche Green again ( no T.C. )
Thumb, Middle & Pinky = Cliche Green
INDEX Hulk 2 ( darkest )
RING = Hulk 1
Below is a few photos of Hulk 2, with only 1 coat of T.C. I love how these tiny little flecks can be seen in all the franken polish's I made with Claire's 'Yellow Brick Road'

where did you get those empty nail polish bottles and what do you put in them ?
I love the different greens you made!! And the empty bottles made me so envious (I actually purchase awful cheap polishes to recover bottles for my frankens)!!!
