Ruby Red Slippers Franken

I wanted to share my attempt at creating a franken of Deborah Lippmann's Ruby Red Slippers. I already tried Prancer over black and it was beautiful, but I also love the glitter floating in jelly effect of the Lippmann.

Here's the finished product. I used 1/2 bottle of Wet n' Wild Prancer and 3 drops of Wet n' Wild Black Creme. Super easy! I don't own RRS so I can't make a comparison but I think it's pretty close.


Excuse the car pic. I had class ALL day today and it gets dark at 4:30 now, so that leaves a very short window to take a decent pic. This was on my way to school, lol.

My first attempt is on the left and the second attempt on the right. The first one was too dark. I think it came out pretty good, but there was only enough for one mani!

So what do you think? Did I capture the essence of Ruby Red Slippers?

    Awesome franken. Gotta love those super easy recipes, I know I do. Great price too considering what the real lippmann costs. I've got to venture into frankening dupes more, its a great way to save $$$. Thanks for sharing this :)
