Funky Fingers Green Metallic

Hi Guys! I must be on a metallic kick because today I'm showing you Funky Fingers Sold Out Arena. This is a metallic minty green polish with a really great finish. I actually grabbed this from the clearance bin for only $1.

You can see exactly how metallic this polish will be just by looking at the bottle and on the nail, it didn't disappoint. This color meets my love for all things mint but does lean just a hint more light green than mint. Application was really good and I had zero dragging. This is two coats with top coat.



I ended up adding an accent nail using a few different colors and a fan brush. I used Julep Sienna, Color Club Wild at Heart, Julep Harley and China Glaze Deviantly Daring vertically across the nail (from left to right in picture below).


Thanks for stopping by!

Up Colors Azul Disco Stamping

Today I felt summer in my bones and had an urge to show off some stamping so the following mani was born. I started off with Sinful Colors base coat and then three thin coats of Funky Fingers Mrs. Mint. In the bottle, Mrs. Mint has a gorgeous gold shimmer but you don't see it on your nails until you've added a top coat. Kind of a bummer, but the mint green color is amazing.

Next I pulled out my Bundle Monster plates and used BM-208 along with Up Colors Azul Disco which is a bluish purple holographic nail polish. I got this polish recently and have not yet used it on a full mani so I am sure I will posting one relatively soon.

The holographic effect supposedly gets dulled down when using a topcoat, but I found quite the opposite when using this for stamping. The color was darker and less reflective prior to the topcoat but it still looked nice. I took before and after pictures but they honestly didn't look much different on camera other than the color got a little lighter once the top coat was added. I will add my topcoat when stamping with a Holo simply for the shine factor and for longer wear.

This is going to be a favorite of mine this summer, that's for sure! Thanks for checking me out, I know that I am still very very new so any feedback would be awesome!
