Doctor Who Franken Collection Swatches and Recipes - Part Three

New Who I

(Eek! I lost most of this post and had to redo it.)

All swatches are over Gelous and topped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri topcoat.  The first two pictures in each set are taken in a lightbox, the last is under a lamp. Click to enlarge pictures. 

I used 0.5 fl. oz. bottles to mix these. I recommend adding the most abundant color or clear (if it's used) last to prevent overfilling.


Bitchy Trampoline- cream jelly with hidden pink and orange shimmer, 3 coats



under lamp, enlarge to see shimmer



30 drops  (1 part) Sally Hansen Pale Lilac Opal

60 drops (2 parts) Finger Paints Warm He-art-ed

180 drops (6 parts) clear
240 drops (8 parts) Confetti White Wedding

I would not call this a frost. There are not visible brushstrokes, though some may be apparent in the macro shots.

100 drops Revlon Hot for Chocolate
80 drops Jordana Mellow Yellow
70 drops Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme
40 drops Wet 'n' Wild Metallica
30 drops Chameleon Blue Frost  (this is a good way to get rid of frosts)
20 drops Maybelline Gold Star
fill with white ( I used both Confetti White Wedding and Wet 'n' Wild French White)


Thanks for looking.

  1. Yay! They are fabulous!

    Bad Wolf is exactly the color I imagined - and now I have a visual every time I see a Dr. Who Bad Wolf episode.
