Spring Splatter Mani :)

  I did this all the way back in March when Spring first started.  For this I used Love & Beauty Olive (the blue), Zoya Pippa (yellow), and Funky Fingers Cheshire (purple) and Wet n Wild French White for the base to splatter over.

Err, kinda failed couple of fingers.

  Even though it really doesn't appear like it, I think it came out very well.  The colors worked very well together and it looked actually pretty good.  I like it.

  Err, not really much to say about it, but I got newer, smaller straws for splattering.

Happy splattering,

Wet n Wild French White with Funky Fingers Teal Scales

  So after my fail with Teal Scales, I decided to go a different route.  A more basic route...  Enter Wet n Wild French White!!

  There we go!  Beautiful shimmer.  It doesnt really appear as gorgeous as it would look over a darker color but it is still pretty nice.  I like it.  I actually forced myself to take this off.

  2 coats white, 1 coat shatter.  My usual base + top coats.

Happy shattering,

Funky Fingers Baby Baby Baby and Sand and Stilletos

  Hello world!!  A while ago I decided to do an awesome holographic accent manicure and I ended up with a Funky Fingers glitter manicure.  So ta-da!

Macro photo.

Blurred to show holo-ness

:D

  Most of these pictures are from inside of my car after school so thats why there is a weird slanted background in some.

  I think I ended up with two thick coats of each and a coat or two of top coat to smooth it all out.  With my usual base + top coats.

Happy holo-ing,

Funky Fingers Ectoplasmic

  I am highly impressed with this but also very disappointed.  Read on...

Freaking neon green :D:D:D:D:D

And now its a shimmer O.o

Neon again

Shimmer again.

Now its like both?!?! WTF??

Both.

  This little one was a neon when I applied it but turned into a shimmer over time.  I was pissed, because I wanted a solid neon green and it wasn't always neon.  It had this subtle but obvious blue shimmer in it. Very annoying.

  Beautiful though, 3 coats.  Usual base + top coats.  I kinda want to do this again, because now looking back on it, I love it.

Happy painting,

Funky Fingers Monster Ballad

  Hey everyone!!  Today I have Funk Fingers Monster Ballad, a pink chrome.  Well, maybe not a chrome, but in that family.  I kind of liked it.  If you can see closely, there are many, many little bubbles. And imprints.  It didn't like me very much...

It's a nice shade of pink.

  As I have said many, many times before, I am not a pink person.  I like pink clothes, but I hate pink on my nails.  Only a few have broken that standard: namely Zoya Lolly and China Glaze Ahoy!.  Umm, like the only two pinks I have posted about??  Lol.  Well, this follows the rule that I don't particularly like pinks.  It's nice... just not for me.  I would've liked it better if it cooperated with me.  Also, I think this is a dupe of one of the ones from Color Club's Foiled collection, but I'm not positive.  It is a possibility though because they are made by the same company.
  Nice application, 3 coats.  My usual base + top coat.  Just not the desired result.

Happy chrome-ing,

Funky Fingers Riot and Teal Scales (fail...)

  Okay, before you say: "Em, what were you thinking?  These colors SUCK together!"  I had something I was aiming for.  I was aiming for this awesome combo.  My purple was too dark and I now know that.  I need to experiment with Teal Scales though...

Without top coat, kinda hard to see it...

Without top coat

With, extremely hard to see!

You see that awesomeness???

Not how I planned, purple was too dark...

SO DARK!

  I will find a way to make this polish look gorgeous!  It has a helluva lot of potential!

Happy shattering,

R U RAH RAH?

  Back in February (I think) my family went to a Rutgers men's basketball game (I thiiiiiink they lost, don't quote me on that).  All I can really remember was criticizing Josh with Dan and singing stand tunes with Josh.  Being a band geek, you know every stand tune out there ;).
  But this is the manicure I wore to the game.  One freaking fail of a manicure.

China Glaze Hey Sailor with Funky Fingers White Scales on all but my ring fingers.

Wet n Wild French White on the accent finger.

Like, freaking look at it!  The red was like "heh heh heh it would be funny if I smudged.  ALL OVER THE WHITE!"

  Grr.  I was notttt happy with the final result of this.  But all in all, GO RUTGERS!  (I know they are out of March Madness already :-/)

Happy cheering,

  So basically, it was a sans cleanup layering fest.  I just wanted to try random things out.  She actually hated the Blacklight/Jesus Christ Superstar combo so much that she removed it and put some other neon on instead.

  Hope you like the randomness!

Happy randoming,
