I still wear reds and deep purples but I tend to reach for light nude colors more often during summertime.
I wanted a neutral pale polish that covers better, so I ended up frankening one today.
(Gosh, don't you just love the words like "franken" and "frankenpolish"? Genius, if you ask me! )
*FYI*
franken verb. mix different polishes to make a personalized nail polish.
frankenpolish noun. a personalized mixture of nail polish.
Yup, you guessed it right. Just like the Frankenstein !
French Lace (frankenpolish)
This is basically an Essie polish since I only mixed ones from essie.
I don't know about you, but I think the finished polish easily gets separated if you mix polishes from different brands.
I used a half empty bottle of Essie Tennis Corset as base and added Miss Matched and Topless & Barefoot, which also are my favorite light colors.

I love this concoction!
Thanks to the subtle champagne gold shimmer from the Tennis Corset, it is not all that boring despite of the understated pale color.
I named it "French Lace", but I am open to other name suggestions from you guys. ;)

See the gold shimmer? Love!
My other summer favorite is the good old Essie Sugar Daddy.
This polish simply creates the look of healthy glossy nails and makes everything better if you wear this as topcoat. :)

How about you?
Which do you reach for more during the summer months, light colors or hot sunny shades?
Do you franken polishes often? :)
Thanks for reading.
Happy weekend for everyone!
