Here's a polish I made the other day. I was really wanting the new Essie "School of Hard Rocks," but I just don't feel right paying such high prices for a cream polish I can make at home for MUCH less money.
So I made it myself! =)
At lease I think I did! lol. I compared it to the Essie at the store and I'm sure they're VERY close! ;)

different lighting this time just 'cause I can! |
Anyway, when I first made it it was too green. And not dusty enough! But I think this time it's right on!
A dusty green-is blue-ish teal color that's neither too dark or too light. It's so gorgeous! And very pigmented as well! This is 2 coats with SV on top. Sigh. I think I'm in love!
For this franken I used a dusty green base (the ULTA version of OPI JITNB) and added a bright blue polish from dollar tree, some white, and some black. Rinse and repeat until it looks right! Plus I always have to add a bunch of thinner cause doing that much bottle opening and shaking makes things rather goopy.
Waddya think!? XD
