Yesterday while browsing online I saw a swatch of Deborah Lippman's new Holographic Duo. I was wondering if it was a true holo although it looked like a flakie in pics. Since I didn't want to spend so much on the set I attempted to franken it.
I started out with a base of Wet N' Wild black creme.
To make the franken I added 1 part Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure with 2 parts Sinful Colors Grean Ocean. Throw in a couple of balls and shake. Super easy!
I layered 1 coat of the franken over black. I don't own the duo set but I think it turned out pretty good using the polishes I already own. I didn't have to spend anything and I have a hot new look for tonight. Here's a swatch of the actual set. According to pictures, the franken flashes more green and red/gold vs. the Lippman's blue and red/gold. Green ocean also has tiny glitter that is not found in the Lippmann but it's not very noticeable (or at least not to me).
The result appears more dense than the Lippman but clear polish can be added to thin things out a bit.
And that's it! A super easy franken. I hope you enjoyed :)
Woah my goodness the red and blue flashes are incredible!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, and it's an easy recipe too. Thanks for sharing!

HOT! I'm so jealous! It's too pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty close! Close enough that it's not worth the $18 for the real thing! Great job!! =D
ReplyDeleteWOW... your franken looks VERY identical to Deborah Lippmann's Edge of Glory! If I owned the Sinful Colors flakie I would attempt this myself, but since I already have the Edge Of Glory flakie polish I guess there is no need.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job!
This is gorgeous! I'm sure some people would call you crazy for using Hidden Treasure though. Some people, not me. *cough*

@MyAwesomeBeauty. It's probably crazy to some but I have a few flakies and I'm sure I won't be able to use them all.
