Funky Fingers-Tribal Topped With Sinful Colors- Green Ocean

I really wanted to try out Sinful Colors- Green Ocean. I decided to layer it over Funky Fingers- Tribal. Tribal is a neon turquoise. I put on three coats of Tribal first and then layered one coat of Green Ocean on top. Green Ocean's formula is really thick! It's filled with different sizes if iridescent glitter and flakie shards.Some of the edges of the flakes were sticking up even when I added a coat of Seche Vite. This mani ended up really pretty, but it took a long time to dry! I said that I would take a break from greens after St. Patrick's Day week, but I guess I couldn't stay away that long. I have wayyy too many greens.

Here's three coats of Funky Fingers- Tribal before adding Green Ocean. This is an awkward pose. My nails were still wet, the Funky Fingers bottles are very difficult to hold, and my messy desk is in the background. I managed not to smudge any nails! Funky Fingers polishes are found at 5Below. I haven't seen this one there in a while. I purchased it a long time ago. It reminds me of China Glaze- Turned up Turquoise without the shimmer and a little bit more subdued.

I also completed making a visual board of my collection on Pinterest. Most of the images of polishes are from other blogs, but when I get around to swatching them, I will replace them with my own images. Check it out :)

Neon Green and Flakies!!!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day soon approaching, I thought I'd do something green. Well, I guess this is technically turquoise. This is two coats of China Glaze Turned up Turquoise topped with two coats of Zoya Opal. Turned up Turquoise is very vibrant. In this picture without the flash, it almost looks like more of a bluish teal, but it's not. It's a neon and without topcoat, it has a matte finish. Zoya Opal is from the recent Fleck Effects collection. I just love flakies!!!

Turned Up Turquoise has some slight shimmer to it. You can see how bright it is here! I wore this over the weekend. I'm not quite comfortable enough to wear this at my new job yet

My second package from Trans Design came in today! Here I have three more from the Hunger Games Collection: Fast Track, Luxe and Lush (my favorite!), and Smoke and Ashes

To make the shipping worth it, I've added some other lemmings. New York Summer- Angel Kiss and Barielle- Buddah-ful and Elle's Spell (Both flakies!) These are my first purchases from these brands. I purchased Angel Kiss on a whim because it looked unique with the light pink and baby blue glitter. It was also $1.50 I believe, so I figured this brand was worth a try since I haven't heard a lot about it.
