I picked up this set at Five Below. There may or may not be dupes in these from the Color Club Take Wing collection. The Funky Fingers polishes are named after fairy tale and princess-y type stuff. This set consists of five glass fleck sort of polishes. I used Orly Bonder and Brucci Nail Dryer for all of the swatches.

Prince Charming was the sheerest of the bunch needed a total of 4 coats.

Not only was it the sheerest, it's the most difficult to describe. There are hints of blue and pink in there too. And it's a bit glowy! The macro shot of my nail captures best what you can really see in real life. It's got multi-dimensions to it. It loses points though for being a 4-coater, but you could probably get away with three.
Mirror, Mirror is a fun, vivacious blue that also is a bit glowy. This is only 2 coats of polish in these pictures but I think if I applied slightly thicker coats that the bare spots or VNL you might be seeing would be eliminated.

I was thinking this could possibly be a dupe for
Color Club Sky High but upon closer inspection, I'm not so sure.

This one did stain though, just a warning.

Pixy Dust, which I think is a nod at Tinker Bell, is the second sheerest out of this collection. This is 3 coats and could've used a fourth. I didn't really like how it looked on me that much. I'm sure there's an audience for this color, I'm just not a part of it.

The next one, Kiss the Girl, is my favorite from this set. Not just
because it's pink, but the formula is incredible. This is ONE coat of
Kiss the Girl. Out of all of them, this one has the most "glowy", least
"metallic" look. It was slightly difficult to photograph. It behaved like a neon when I tried capturing it.

Belle is the one I thought I'd like the least but it actually is pretty impressive for a yellow. It's a direct reference to the Disney princess, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and I think they nailed it. I stopped at 3 coats here. For as fun as this color is, I'm surprised I don't have one like it already.

I'm pretty sure this is a dupe for
Color Club Daisy Does It.

Yeah, it looks pretty bad on me but it's such a cool color. I love yellow so much, just wish I could wear it.

So my overall take on these is that they're pretty awesome. I got all of these for $9 and I'm pretty impressed with some of them. I'll run down their qualities again.
Prince Charming: Super sheer 4 coater with lots of depth.
Mirror, Mirror: Opaque 2 coater that stains.
Pixy Dust: Sheer green at 3 coats, not the best color.
Kiss the Girl: Super opaque one coat wonder that glows.
Belle: Decent opacity at 3 coats for a yellow. Has a CC dupe.

I don't think I'd go for the green or the yellow, because I wouldn't wear them that much, but they're all cool looking colours! :)
ReplyDeleteSame here, they're strange colors I think.
DeleteSuch pretty colours! Do the green and yellow stain?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I wore them long enough to tell, but there was zero staining during swatching.
DeleteLordy, I adore the blue! I'm yet to find a shade like that, apart from Sally Hansen's Blizzard that doesn't stain. :)
ReplyDeletemaybe doubling up on base coat? i usually do away with stainers!
