Frankenpolish: Dirty Green Dragon

Hello my darlings. I know I've been kinda not here. But I just had my last class of the semester, which also happened to be my last class of my degree. So it's been hectic. And probably will be for the next week. But I didn't want to leave you hanging, so here's a frankenpolish. I have continued to work through my picks list and will have those reviews up when I get breathing room.

Dirty Green Dragon is a dusty green with gold shimmer. I kinda think it's perfect. You don't really see the gold shimmer in the pic though.



Recipe is easy. Half of China Glaze Solar Powered, half Nicole by OPI In Your Hands (I assume any dark blue creme should do) and a couple generous drops of Color Club Black. This is a mini bottle, so you'll have to tweak how much black you add depending on the size of bottle you put it in. Also make sure you have the correct balance of yellow and blue in your mix before you add black.

This is three coats with top coat. Formula was thick though, so it required thinner.

And in other news, I got OPI Rainforest, in a swap with Esmeralda, and I don't get the hype. Now that I have it, it looks kinda meh. Maybe it was all just hype. But I'll go see if I can find y'all a dupe.

Edit: So I intern at the Military Museums and I held my franken up to one of the green dress uniforms and it's almost exactly like the uniform except for the fact that it's got gold shimmer. Just thought I'd share.
