Today I have a franken made especially for me by Laurie!! This franken has a backstory...
I had a red polish by Deborah Lippmann called Stop and Stare. It's named after a song I don't particularly care for by a band I don't particularly care for...OneRepublic. So when I mentioned Stop and Stare, it of course made everyone start singing the song. I mentioned that I did not like Stop and Stare, nor did I like OneRepublic's song Apologize because they were severely overplayed, and I was tired of hearing them.
In Laurie's mind, this franken was born. She made it especially based off that conversation! lol She is a riot :) So this manicure will be shown backwards!
The finished product! This is one coat of OPI Strawberry Margarita, two coats of OPI Mamma Mia and one coat of Apologize. I'm not a pink girl, but this mani holds a special place in my heart. But let's breakdown Mamma Mia, but this was a huge wishlist find for me. This is two coats of Mamma Mia, a very sheer shimmery pink, over one coat of Strawberry Margarita.

Here's a swatch of Strawberry Margarita on it's own from a previous post:
**DISCLAIMER** I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these polishes myself or were given gifts as friends because I could not find the particular shade I wanted myself. I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
