Just a fair warning, this will be a very picture heavy post so I hope you enjoy it!
First up is Lazer Pink- This is a really fun, bright neon pink…more of a lighter shade of pink.
2-3 coats
Beautiful- This polish almost looks like a jelly polish, but I haven't ever seen or owned a jelly so I'm not sure if it actually is one. It has beautiful (pun intended lol) rainbow-reflecting shards. I actually didn't like this one as much as I expected to, but it is really pretty.
2-3 coats over Lazer Pink
Like Clockwork- This is a gorgeous yellow-orange neon…it appears a little bit more yellow in photos but I love it! I was a little impatient with letting this one dry for some reason so I had to redo a couple of fingers a few times :P Whoops!
2-3 coats
Cyclone Sky- I love this color! It's a blue-ish mint green color (I know that sounds weird, but it's the only way I know how to describe it).
2 coats
Mint Choco-Chip- The name suits this polish doesn't it? ;) It makes me want Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream…and I'm not really an ice cream person. This one really caught my eye in the store, but until I actually started swatching I didn't realize there were 3 different size black hex glitters and 2 different size silver hex glitters. Plus it was really fun to apply! (It looks kind of blue, but I assure you it is mint). 3-4 coats
Puffo Gelato- If you compare this one to the last one, the last one looks like a sky blue :( but it really is mint green! Lol (You can tell if you look at the pictures of the bottles at the top of this post). When I was in the store I didn't notice that the glitters in this were actually different from the Mint Choco-Chip. As opposed to silver hex glitter, this one only has 3 different sizes of black hex glitter.
2-3 coats
220 Volts- I understand why they named this one 220 Volts...when I was figuring out how I would describe it…it's like an electric blue :P They were smart thinkers! (Whoever named these). This was the only polish that actually dried matte, and I love it! So the first photo is without a topcoat, and the other 2 are with a top coat.
2-3 coats
Riot- A beautiful deep purple. Is there an electric purple?? :P If so, this is it!
2-3 coats
Sand & Stilettos- This is a really fun holographic glitter polish. It's a purple/rainbow glitter. I love this combo!
1-2 coats (I prefer 1…shown with 2) over Riot
Hip City Jack- I fell in love with this color when I saw it, but I think it's actually my least favorite of them all now that I've swatched them. It's still pretty though, don't get me wrong…it's just weird. It's a green-ish silver polish with small blue hex glitters. Although I did use a top coat, I think this polish is a textured polish. I took a macro shot so you can see. It was textured to the touch…but it doesn't say textured anywhere on the bottle, so I was kind of confused.
2 coats
Lady Charlotte- I really like this combo a lot! This is a pink and purple hex glitter polish with small silver glitter. I think this one would be fun to use in a Valentine's Day Design. Maybe I'll come up with something! ;)
1 coat over Riot
Midge- This is probably my favorite out of them all! The bottle looks like a really dark purple, so I was surprised to find that it's more of a red-ish purple. And I really love the holographic glitters!
2 coats
The brushes on these polishes are amazing! They fan out pretty well and the thing I really like about them is that they don't get overloaded with polish like most polish brushes do.
(All swatches done with base & top coat).
You can find Funky Fingers polish at any Five Below store (I don't think you can find them anywhere else). I have never heard of either Funky Fingers nor Five Below before a few weeks ago, so while I was in Texas I went into one. It's similar to a dollar store, but much more fun (in my opinion lol).
So what do you guys think!? I would love to know which one(s) is your favorite! Leave a comment below and let me know!
Thank you for checking out this post! I still have alot more to show you so don't go to far! :)
Holy cow, these swatches are amazing. Funky Fingers is one of those polish brands I forget about until I see swatches like this.
ReplyDeleteYou should try Sand and Stilettos on it's own...it is buildable to opaque in 2 or 3 coats and is gorgeous. Also, you should try Beautiful over black polish...I bet i would be really pretty. I am curious if Lady Charlotte is buildable to opaque. I'm so jealous of anyone who has a Five Below near them...I have to buy my Funky Fingers polishes on Ebay...and they are rarely as inexpensive as Five Below =P
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your post. I know I'm about 12 yrs late but I recently moved and found a bunch of old nail polishes. As I am a nail polish fanatic I couldn't bear to just throw them out. So I've been up all night going for about 100 nail polishes and surprise surprise there are actually a lot worth saving. I have not been to five below in about 10 years and I know I won't get this brand anywhere else anyway I've come upon a couple different funky fingers. One of them is Lady Charlotte which is how I found your post. I did a Google search to see if I could find swatches as I'm very tired right now I'm putting polishes aside that need work if I want to keep them but I don't feel like working on them right now. What I mean by working on them is well I have about 10 that I can't open and I'm way too tired to deal with it right now but they look like they might be worth looking into so I'll hold on to them and come back to it later today or tomorrow. Anyway my Lady Charlotte is in pretty good condition as it turns out, pretty perfect actually doesn't look like I used it much I probably just bought it cuz I like that in the store and put it in with the rest of them. Anyway my nails are all stained right now from testing polishes all night and I just wanted to find a good clean swatch to check out. Okay so you won't believe this I just found another Lady Charlotte !!!! See how bad I am I am just so addicted to nail polish it's like I just buy duplicates and don't even realize it. 🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteOh and I also have Pep Rally but when I say it has seen better days that would be an understatement. But you know I'm probably hold on to it because I really like the glitters in it and I can play around with them. I might be able to thin it out. Anyway thanks for taking the time and sharing your finds. It was really helpful and your photos and reviews were on point. Nice job 🙂👍😀🌈🌞💚💜🧡
