#FF : White Swan

This week's franken is a bit special. Earlier this week I was tweeting with Jeanette from the-swatchaholic and Adina, the creator of A England and one thing leading to another I decided I'd post a white holo franken called Unicorn's Breath.

One thing you should know about holo pigments is that they are silver and frankening a true white linear holo would be extremely difficult. No matter what you do, your white will turn grey...
So today I decided to franken a scattered holo to keep the base color as white as possible. That's why I didn't call it Unicorn's Breath, I'll use that name if I manage to get it linear.
Apart from clear and white polish, I used some loose holographic spectraflair pigment but the coarse 35 microns grade in order to interfer as little as possible with the base color.
Unfortunately, there's been zero sun lately so here's White Swan under my OTT light, way less holo than in sunlight :'(

Where can you buy those empty bottles for frankens?

LavenderMint said...

I would definitely order this the second you made it! <3

Ulmiel said...

Ok, little lady, get your own polish label out ASAP! You just cannot make a franken I wouldn't drool all over and buy the second I would be able to!

FashionPolish said...

@Meeka @thenailaholic @cshannon26 It's actually a bit whiter in real life but I couldn't get it both the base color and the holo right at the same time :'(

FashionPolish said...

Girls, you always make my day (or my weekend LOL) after the Franken Friday posts. Thank you so much for all your support ♥♥♥
@Emma I use Essence cosmetics bottles. Usually the clear ones since I use lots of clear for frankening, plus they are super easy to clean.
