Yep - another spectraflair franken today made with the coarse grade stuff.
When I created this and applied it, I said to myself "wow, that looks just like OPI DS Original". You know then one right? That hard to find spectacular holo polish. So I quickly swatched them next to each other. They look pretty similar in colour don't they? Especially with these first indoor pictures.
I have called this franken 'Not so original'. I have one coat of the franken on the index and ring fingers, two coats of DS Original on the middle finger, and three coats of DS original on the pinky.
And here it is in the sun. The holo effect on both of them is really similar.
Next I applied a second coat to my franken fingers.
This photo is back indoors and shows that with two coats my franken is darker. And do you know what? I think I actually prefer my franken to OPI DS Original. I know, that's blasphemous right!
Because I loved this one so much, I applied it as a full mani. So this is base coat, three coats of the franken and SV top coat. You've gotta love that these Spectraflair franken holos don't dull with top coat. And they don't need any fancy aqua base either.
The recipe for this one, in a 5 ml bottle (so multiple for a bigger bottle)
- 10 drops of Kleancolor metallic purple
- fill the remainder of the bottle with clear.
- 3 incy wincy straw spoonfuls of Spectraflair coarse grade.
Gorgeous, think I like your franken better than DS Original too
