Grocery Store Finds!

I know my last post was March 6th (eek!) but unfortunately I've been so busy with school and interning that I haven't really had a free moment. I figure maybe 7 people have seen this page at most, though, so it's all good lol. Anywho, I went to Jewel yesterday to pick up a few things and saw this display..


The polishes looked quite similar to the swatches I've seen of the new China Glaze Spring Prismatic collection. I wasn't too crazy about the swatches I had seen but when I saw these colors up close, I immediately understood the hype. I am not sure if any of these are dupes but they are amazing nonetheless. I picked up Born into Privilege and Bow in my Presence. Today, I have photos of Born into Privilege.

Please excuse my orange hands - self-tanner mishap! :x



Bottle close up - a mix of Green and Silver Hues with specs of round multicolored glitter.



The bottle color is amazing!

Also, at Jewel, I found this 99 cent awesome holographic-ish color from Princessa called Pretty In Purple. I have to try it soon!

Funky Fingers Glitter/Holographic goodness!!

Hey guys! Hope you are having a wonderful day :) Today, I have swatches of probably my hands down favorite polish of all time...so far! Last Friday, I tried out Gellish (like Shellac) polish at my local salon. I only did a light pink but I have to say, it is really long lasting and pretty nice! However, I couldn't resist painting over it. This polish has been sitting in my collection just calling out to me to wear it! The brand is called Funky Fingers and I found this polish at my local Five Below store. It retails for TWO NINTEY NINE. Yes, I had to spell that out because IT IS SO AWESOME! Ok, caps lock off. Just a little excited about this one lol. I have yet to find a polish that makes me forget about my obsessive desire to score OPI's DS Amethyst...until now. While this polish isn't strictly holo, it's more like a holo-glitter hybrid, it is amazing nonetheless and is unlike anything I've ever owned. Now, onto the photos!

I'm going to start by showing you guys some bottle shots. I apologize for the photo quality; it was EXTREMELY difficult to capture this polish as it is in real life.


 this is with flash under a lamp.



No Flash, under a lamp.




No flash, direct sunlight in the middle.

The color is a bit difficult to describe. From what I've seen, it can tend to look purple and silver and sometimes even blue. It has specks of holographic silver, and black. I love the specks of black, as it looks pretty cool up close. I'll let you be the judge of what color you perceive it as.


*Drools*


Sorry about the blurriness. Hard to capture the holographic in the sunlight.


No flash, natural light.


A close up of the gorgeous glitter!


Overall, I LOVE this polish and for the price I don't think you can beat it! I ran out and bought 5 more that same day!! Do you think this is a more affordable alternative to some of the other holographic polishes out there?

Have a great day!
