Funky Fingers ~ Riot

Very rich creamy purple

Barielle ~ Dream Child
Chunky holographic silver glitter in a clear base

I’ve got a couple of Funky Fingers polishes, and they’re all bought in different blog sales. I’ve never seen them anywhere else online, which is a shame, since they’re gorgeous polishes. But anyway, I’m not complaining about blog sales. I’ve found quite a lot of nice polishes that way.

The formula is quite good on this one. The application was a little bit tricky, though – especially the first coat. It’s mostly because of the brush, I think. It’s kind of thin, which means I sometimes had to dip a couple of times for each nail. I don’t like that. I prefer if I can get the right amount of polish on the brush in one go. But anyway! The second coat smoothed all the irregularities out and made it look gorgeous!

It even dried up semi matte. That was a nice surprise, I didn’t expect that.

Here’s what it looked like without top coat:



My fingers look as if I’ve got jaundice or something, but it was the only way I could show the actual and true colour of the purple.

Anyway – I have this new Barielle glitter that I’ve been wanting to try: Star Child. It’s a clear base packed with chunky silver holographic glitters. I have read on other blogs that the glitters spread out like a dream.

It did. But man – there was so much glitter! I felt like there were little disco balls on my nails – and the purple got a bit overwhelmed.

Here’s how it looked with a layer of Poshé top coat:




And here’s a blurry pic of the bottle and my thumb, so you can check out the amazing holo!




Last pic is a bottle shot, just because I can! :D


I must admit that I didn’t expect the glitter to be that prominent, I kind of expected to be able to see more of the purple. But having said that: I just love the holographic effect that shows so clearly, even in very low lights.

What do you think, girls? Is this a go or a no go?

    1. Purple is my favourite colour nail polish. It used to be red, but it changed when I started collecting polishes, for some reason :)

    1. I've never bought polishes on eBay. It's because I usually know what the seller paid for the polishes themselves, and there's no way I'll pay $10 for a regular, still sold in shops $2 polish. But that's probably just me :D

      And you're right. It's totally glitter overload. But I use glitter for everyday use as well, like: Every day is a party! :D
