funky fingers POP ARTIST

Hello ladies!!  It's Sunday, as you know, but its rainy and actually kind of warm out.  Not the worst combination of weather I've faced this year so I'll take it.  I have a nice, bright summertime polish for you today but it is most certainly a neon, and cannot be photographed true-to-color.  I tried to color correct to the best of my ability with photoshop.  It's also a jelly, for that added fun haha-you-can't-photograph-me touch!

Funky Fingers "Pop Artist"

The name alone inspired me to add some fun decoration.  I CANNOT get enough of the polka dots lately.  I'm sorry they've been on every many I've posted lately, but addiction is addiction so please don't judge.

I tried outside, but its cloudy. Fail.

Color corrected.  Yea, its *this* bright. My dad couldn't look
directly at it, lol!

Dots:

Art Deco "Baby Pink"
L.A. Colors "Energy Source"
OPI DS "Elegance"

The fact that I can't capture neons, yet alone neon jellies, discourages me from wanting to swatch 'n show!

This is probably my last reminder before my giveaway ends tomorrow night at 11:59PM EST. Click HERE for details and submission form (=

Saint Patrick's Day Mani

Alright, I braved the green for this mani.  Not a fan of full green manicures.  I don't like it on my hands.  Teals and such, OK, but green green makes me squirm.  Even though this isn't 100% green.. well I don't know.  I only did one hand and removed it ASAP. :D

Actually kind of cute right? Please ignore pinky smudge :D

Ingredients:

Funky Fingers "Mint Monatauk" - base color
China Glaze "DV8" - triple shamrock
Funky Fingers "Tribal" - individual shamrock
Wet n Wild "Sunny Side Up" - dots
Art Deco "White" - dots
BM03

3 coats of "Mint Monatauk" No BC or TC.
What a bright, beautiful color! A minty neon.

Little darker image here so you can see the details.
I couldn't get a picture without a glare )=

I thought it looked pretty decent considering I went into this mani with NO idea of what I was doing.  The single shamrocks are sort of in the "background" and can be seen very faintly if you click to enlarge.  They were more noticeable in person.

laughing lilac and a cute fauxnad!

I bought this WnW polish from Harmon's for 1.79$ and I must say its so pretty!  This one required 4 coats to eliminate VNL but they were thin, so no complaints!

No BC, SH Inst-Dri TC

WnW Megalast in "Laughing Lilac"

OPI DS Ruby and cherries from one of my BM plates!

So cute! (=

Don't forget! My 50 Follower Giveaway ends on Monday! Click HERE for details.

OPI DS Vintage.. love!

I know, I know! Another holo post.  I think after this one though, I'm going to play with some of the other polishes I've accumulated recently.  This post is about OPI DS Vintage, a beautiful "glow of coppery taffeta".  Well, that's what the brochure said.

I see copper!

3 coats, no BC or TC.

Beautiful!

I surprisingly like this color!  Copper isn't a color I go for, being too close to orange and all.  But I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

Another thought that occured was that DS Vintage and DS Passion look awfully similar next to each other in the bottles.  I know I have horrible lighting in my room but they really look only a fraction of a color different.  So I did  a side-by-side comparison and was once again, proved entirely wrong, lol!

Orange =/= pink. Tricky little things.

Also you may have noticed my blog looks entirely different.  I was suffering from a bout of insomnia last night and evidently felt creative!  I like it though, it's bright and cheery!

Edit: This is my 100th post! YAY (=

more OPI DS beauties!

So I went back to Harmon's today and picked up 4 more OPI DS polishes.  The supply was a little bit picked through, but there was still tons left so it wasn't to bad, really!

I <3 when polish comes packaged.

Elegance - Divine - Design - Passion

I just have to say, these are incredible, and I love them.

No basecoat, No topcoat.

Passion & Elegance look quite similar here, no?

But this one shows more variation between the
two colors.

"Elegance" is my favorite, I think!  I really love pinks and this shade is one of my favorites.  I don't know if I'll wear "Design" as a full mani alone, though.  Maybe I'll swap or just keep it and stare at it because it is pretty, just not on my pale skin!

I asked the lady at the store why they were so cheap, and she said the company sent them over 500 of them.  Even after the staff had picked through and bought first choice (Grrrr!) they said there was still an unreal amount of left overs.  She went on to tell me how there was some type of 3 pack of treatments for 3.97$ too, but the employees bought them before they went out.  The idea of that kind of irks me, to be honest.  I know there is nothing I can do about it; it's an added challenge I suppose!

As always, click to enlarge (especially this post!)

Anyways - which is your favorite?

i dont like un-named polish

So I kinda lied about OPI DS Vintage being my next post.  Instead, I have for you an un-named Funky Fingers layered mani.  One was a dark purple jelly and the other is a blue and purple glitter.  I'm currently finishing my second paper of the day, and just needed a break, so enjoy.
