That Looks Awfully Familiar (Sinful Colors UFO over Color Club With Abandon)

Monday, June 4, 2012

I can't be the only one who has accidentally bought the same color twice. When I was at that sketchy little nail supply store, I picked up a bottle of Color Club With Abandon. When I got home, I realized that it looked exactly the same as a bottle of Funky Fingers Voodoo. Derp! I guess I'll have to give this new bottle of With Abandon away or something.
I keep forgetting that Forsythe- the company that makes both Funky Fingers and Color Club, often just renames the same colors and puts them in different bottles.

It's still pretty though- a sheer dark, almost blackish brown base with micro flakes of copper and magenta. Due to how watery it is, it takes at least three coats to become opaque. Or one coat over black, if you prefer.

I decided to layer one of my recent acquisitions- Sinful Colors UFO. I was so happy to have found this at that Rite Aid in Sacramento because I do believe that it has been discontinued for some time. UFO is a super sheer orange with micro and round glitters- a mixture of orange and opalescent glitter that flashes green and blue. It's really quite pretty, but sort of "busy" looking- there's a lot going on at the same time.

Have you ever repurchased something you already owned by accident?

Funky Fingers Moonwalk

Monday, October 3, 2011

Good evening!
I think it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that this polish is spectacularly blingy. I bought this about a year ago, swatched it once on one finger and never took a good look at it under good direct light. My mistake.
Funky Fingers Moonwalk is jet black creme with silver and holographic glitter in slightly varying sizes. I think that the difference in particle size gives it a even more scattered rainbow look.
I think it's well named. Even though I know the moon is far from being rainbow colored, there is something extra terrestrial about this polish. Kinda like pictures of galaxies, far far away.

There's a shot without the bottle. This might be the first time where the bottle is actually distracting in the picture. Isn't that lovely? I thought it'd eat top coat like crazy but actually one coat of Gelous covered it nicely.

Super pigmented, this was only two coats. People who are heavy handed with polish might even be able to do it in one.
Unfortunately, Funky Fingers is quite hard to find. I've only ever seen it at 5Below stores, but some regions don't have them. Also, the selection varies seasonally. On the bright side, Color Club (also owned by Forsythe, who owns Funky Fingers) is known for repromoting FF colors in CC collections. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll come out again with a different name.

NOTD: Funky Fingers 220 Volts + Konad

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

So, I saw this amazing blue at 5Below the other day, and I had to have it (I ended up getting 10 polishes, gah!). I had never heard of Funky Fingers before, but I looked it up on my phone, and turns out that the same company that makes Color Club makes Funky Fingers.
In the bottle, it looked kinda like a jelly. However, once I started to apply it- I found it really odd. It went on kind of runny and sheer, and dried to a semi-matte. I actually had to use 4 coats because it didn't level at all, but the color if not the finish was beautiful. It turned out to be a nice cerulean blue! Edit: I've since learned that these are called neons, d'oh.
However, the finish really really irked me. So I decided to Konad over it and use Seche Vite to gloss it up.
Here's what it looks like with the Konading:

I used Orly Rage Foil FX for the Konad as well as plate M57. I'm uh... kinda not digging this overall look.
Something about it rubs me the wrong way. But at least the Konad turned out alright, and I need all the practice I can get!
What's your favorite blue nail polish?
