Introducing... Donavin!

It just wasn't cool that Zoya had a polish named after one step child but not the other.  Sooooo...
Here is my latest franken, Donavin.  A deep grass green creme base with loads of golden shimmer and gold micro glitter. I freakin LOVE this green! *iz proud*
You can click these to try and see the shimmer a little better. 
Here it is with flash.
I even made a custom label for the bottle.  It doesn't get ANY more Irish than this folks!  A dark leaf green with gold glitter and shimmer named Donavin?  It might as well be named "the luck of the Irish" or something.  Hopefully she will love it!

So, whatchoo thank?

Love, MM

BOOYA!

I haven't been in the mood to swatch lately so that makes for slim pickin's when it comes to posting. Sorry I keep leavin ya'll hangin. I'm sure I'll get over it and start swatching my brains out and posting up a storm at some point. Until then, thanks for checking my blog to those of you that do.

Anyway, I have never really been into frankening mostly because I love my polishes and I don't want to mess them up, also because I would rather just buy something than make it myself.  But the polish I have been craving isn't available freakin ANYWHERE it seems.  I am talkin' bout a true green holo my dear ladies.  Not a yellowy green, not a teal like China Glaze DV8, a TRUE GREEN.  Also, none of this holo glitter or holo particle business.  I wanted a real holo not some crappy blue green jelly with holo glitter in it. 

So, I just sacrificed my first polish to make a franken.  It's not as dark as I would like but it IS the color China Glaze forgot when they made the OMG collection, In my opinion,  which is exactly what my goal was.  So I present to you my sort of, technically, first franken polish-
I call it OMFG.  I think that captures all aspects of this franken perfectly.  This was 2 coats in outdoor lighting.  So?  What do you guys think?  Did I done good? 

Love, MM

P.S.- The recepe for this is roughly 1/2 China Glaze OMG and 1/2 Nfu-oh 569 with a few drops of black.
