Spectrafranken - Purple Haven

Another spectrafranken today, cause I have so much fun creating them I just can't stop myself.

As soon as I created this polish I instantly knew who it reminded me of.  Kristy from the Polish Haven. You see Kristy has an addition problem with purple polishes, so I have named this franken after her blog. Purple Haven.  

When I went to create this franken, I was looking through all my Ulta3 swatches looking for something dark, but with a jelly finish.  I spotted Gooseberry, which is a very dark purply plum, the clear polish and the spectraflair really lightened it up and created this soft dusty purple.  I really love it.





This was make using:
  • 2/3 bottle of Ulta3 Gooseberry
  • 1/3 clear polish
  • 3 incy wincy straw spoonfuls (each the size of a grain of rice) of Spectraflair coarse grade
Don't forget to get creative and email me your spectrafrankens and/or colour morphing frankens, and go in the drawn to win three Picture Polishes.

  2. Wow Cathy, that's so pretty & I'm truly flattered that you named Purple Haven after my blog :o)

    Also this is a bit of a spinout because I was just showing Margie today a purple holo I made with nearly the same recipe but a bit lighter and with a few drops of Kleancolor metallic purple

  6. Eeeeeee! I final got up the gumption to use my spectraflair today. Made a topcoat. It turned out EXACTLY like I wanted. SF is def a gateway drug. I r hooked! Have u received the suspension bases yet? I used the mica/pigment base. Glamour I think it's called. No separation yet. Since this a.m. anyway.
