Today I really wanted to share with you the franken I hesitated to post last week, the glitter had gotten the best of me but after a week of dark colors, a subtle taupe was a nice change.
Sahara is a very light almost nude taupe with a strong pink shimmer and lots of small, irregularly shaped, silver flecks.
This is two coats without topcoat :

Here's the recipe for Sahara :
1/2 Essence Princesses Rule
1/2 Essence Most Wanted
+ a few drops of white (I used about 6 drops)
I just love Essence Princesses Rule, it's a quite boring sheer french mani pink on its own but once mixed wih another color, it's amaaaaazing!
I might soon franken it again in a blue or green base...
That's it for today, I hope you liked Sahara and I wish you all the best weekend!
I love this! I really think it would look awesome with a blue or green base, but this is so nice and soft!
ReplyDeleteAwsome franken!
ReplyDelete@Elizabeth I'm so happy you do. I can't wait to see what it looks like with blue or green either...
ReplyDelete@The Nail Buff Thank you! ♥
ReplyDelete@Irena B Thanks! *blushing*
ReplyDeleteIt's by far the best taupe I've ever seen. There is something about it that moves me, gets to me. Maybe it is its delicate glow, or it's classy appearence, it's lemming alright!!! Which brand did you say it was??? ;-)
ReplyDelete@Marionne LOL :P
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'd buy it if I saw this on shelves :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty and delicate! I love light taupe and the pink shimmer makes it even gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the picture before opening the post I tought: Oh It's the nail polish I've being looking for, i want that one too.. them I found out you made it, it's so unfair! You should sell it, I buy! xD
ReplyDelete@GothamPolish thank you! This goes straight to my ♥
ReplyDelete@Nailderella I love them too. I was never able to find my manneuin shade so I go to light taupes instead ;-)
ReplyDelete@Thakitty awwwww... *big hugs* I hope someday I will.
ReplyDeleteWOW! You are so. Freaking. Good at frankens. I am seriously jealous!
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeletewow i love this - i might make it if i can find those specific essence shades!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!! I'm very much into nude colours right now, just can't get enough of them so your pics made my heart jump! This colour is super classy and with a twist that makes it a winner. Your frankens are usually beautiful, but it's very original to see frankens in pale colours, so as much as I loved the other ones, this is my top pick! Bravo!
ReplyDelete"Magnifique" for the summer!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty! Reminds me of Alessandro's Desert Rose quite a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteYour frankens always look so stunning and smooth!
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty!! Just got an Isa Dora polish called Beach Khaki that looked like this in the bottle.. Do you think it translated well to the nail? Noooo :(
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! My nails are bare right now and I was thinking of putting on something bright, but now I might copy this instead. :)
ReplyDeleteSo so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous franken - glad you posted it.
ReplyDeleteThe shimmer in that is lovely!
