Yes, it's true! I have never mixed my own color of nail polish. And seriously ladies, I have been into nail polish for a long long long time. It never even occurred to me to mix nail polish until about a year ago. When I started finding nail polish blogs I started hearing about "frankens". Frankens, for those of you who don't know, is your own creation. You take different nail polishes and add them all to one bottle to mix your very own nail polish color.
I admit, I have been a little shy to try this. I really don't know why, I just haven't really worked up the nerve to do it. Until now! After seeing this beautiful creation made on Dr. Frankenpolish, I am thinking, why can't I make something like that! Please take a look at the gorgeous purple polish Dr. Frankenpolish (AMANDA is her name) created in her lab:

There is also another article about how to do your own franken on there as well. And as always, my favorite franken genius over at Never Too Much Glitter has great frankens and tutorials!
So ladies, tonight I am gonna bite the bullet and try to franken my very first nail polish color. Pretty or ugly I promise to show you all the results. So if anyone has any great tips before I get started please feel free to leave them for me in the comments.
