So I've decided to create my own nail polish in a mint colour which I could not find in stores here. There is this frankenpolish phenomenon in beauty blogger circles, there is a quite helpful website about this thing, hows and whats, tips etc. I had no special tools for this DIY project, but I definitely wanted to try this polish-mixing.
Lényeg a lényeg: a spórolás. Már így is rengeteg lakkom van, amit nem használok (mint például a fehér meg a zöld, amiket a színkeveréshez használtam, a fehér meg is szűnt létezni, mert a maradékához öntöttem zöldet, szóval kétféle új lakkom is lett), és nem is használnék el a büdös életben sose, így ez a frankenpolishing kapóra jött. Így legalább nem vettem meg fölöslegesen egy olyan lakkot, ami bár tetszik, de mégse ilyen lovat akarok, hanem megcsináltam saját kezűleg (saját kezűen?), és megszabadultam a fehértől, amit kb. kétszer használtam, mióta megvettem.
First, I started searching for cheap polishes (essence brand) in mint colour but the two I have found were only close to the shade I imagined, and I was not willing to spend money on any of them, even though they are really cheap, and totally work for me (most of the time these essence polishes last almost for five days on my nails). So I made my own mint polish, but the next time I'll do this frankenpolish thing will be in the summer at home, where I can sit on the terrace and won't suffocate from the smells. Well, my main inspiration came from the idea that I must save money, since I already have tons of polishes that I rarely or never use. This was the case with my white polish, I used it once I think, and another time, when my friend made me a french manicure and she used it as a tip painter. So this became the base of my new polish.

A folyamat egyszerű volt:
I guess, the process is quite easy for anyone. A clean nail polish bottle, nail polish remover (with acetone), and some cocktail shaker skills are needed. You can google the rest, there are probably lots of tutorials around the world wide web. I did not try the polish out yet, but there will be a post update soon about how it looks like on my nails. DIY project finished, scroll down for pics about the mint polish (its shade kind of resembles that of the typical green apple ice cream).
Ez volt a do-it-yourself (DIY) projektem, a lakk másnapra tökéletesen használható lett. Képeket csak a lakkról csináltam, élesben még nem használtam.
