What do you think of this franken?

Hey everyone--

Quick question--What do you think of this franken? It's my third from-scratch franken, and I can't decide if I like it or not, or what it needs. My first one was a disaster I'm trying to fix, and my second one I think is okay and I'll show you in a different post. In the meantime, I'd love feedback on this one, which I'm calling Irish Rain:





Thank you thank you!
M.

  1. Irish Rain is BEAUTIFUL! I can honestly say that if I saw this on a shelf I would defo buy it! I think over black or white would make it 'pop'. I cannot wait to see more!!

    1. Thank you so much! I like the idea of trying it over black. My main issues with it right now are that I'm not sure it pops enough, and I feel like I can't make it opaque enough but still allow the glitters to be seen, so that would help with both...

  2. I like the color but I would like it more if it was more opaque I think.

    1. Thanks...I agree 100% about the opaqueness. I'm trying to figure out how to get it more opaque but still leaving the glitters visible...grrrr....:)

    1. Thank you so much, hee hee. I didn't think about it that way, but it really is a 'me' polish, isn't it? :)

  4. I really like this one Mishka. *It's not in your face green and bright, but more grey'd out.
    To sum it up: I'd buy it.

    1. Thanks Dina...I'm tweaking it a bit because I like the way it looks generally, but some things about it are bugging me...

  5. It's really lovely, very mossy and Irish. You should do a whole hand so we can see it better! :)

  6. I like it! It has a nice mix of different colored glitters and its probably great over a similar base color.

    1. Thank you! I was hoping to have it be worn on its own, but that may have to be the answer (putting it over undies). Let me see what I can do with it...:)

  7. I love it, the fact that it's not opaque yet wouldn't entirely bug me, I'd just layer it over a similar green. Sometimes the glitters get lost when the base is thicker, I don't think there's any need for it to be more green! BTW I WISH Irish rain looked like that, I bet nobody would moan about our weather anymore :)

    1. Thank you...I think there is something to be said for a good layering polish. My original idea was to have sets of sister polishes--one with the glitter in a clear base and a little bit more glitter as a topper, one with the glitter in a coordinating base to be worn on its own when I felt like it. Maybe there is a way to have an in-between, where one coat over another polish will work, but three by itself will be opaque...Ah, polish dreams!

      Speaking of dreams, in my dreams Irish rain does look like that, and I'm not going to let you tell me otherwise, lol! Kidding--I hope to someday see it myself, I have a feeling I'd love it regardless. :)
