Funky Fingers Anna

Last but not least on the Funky Fingers Frozen polishes line up we have Anna! I expected to like Anna the least of the three (just not huge on multi glitters) but I actually really liked her! She has the same white hexes and snowflakes as Elsa and Olaf BUT she also has purple and blue hexes and blue snowflakes. The blue snowflakes were a total surprise to me. One just happened to land on my index finger and I then of course I had to look for more!

I've swatched her here over Butter London Sozzled. I think the combination is pretty spectacular! Really in love with all three of these. If you can snag them I highly recommend it! Which is your favorite? Elsa, Anna or Olaf?

Funky Fingers Elsa

anna

Continuing with the Funky Fingers Frozen collection, today I have Elsa for you. Elsa has white snowflakes and hexes (both large and small) as well as some larger light blue hexes. Originally I anticipated that I'd like Elsa the most of the three, and I did BUT I had a hard time deciding what to use her over!! Light blue and she loses her colored hexes (one of the things that sets her aside from Olaf) but white and she loses everything else! I suppose you could do a darker blue or a slightly off white but I've gone with a light minty green.

I quite liked how it highlighted the glitter. (It's Butter London Fiver!) I did fish out the snowflakes here so that I could have one on each nail but that's pretty typical of any large shape glitter polish. One other odd thing that happened with Elsa (and I think it's because of the way I applied it) is that I got these weird bubbles in the BASE layer of my polish even though it was mostly dry when I applied her. I didn't have this issue when I applied her again over another polish so it's not an issue with Elsa and I additionally didn't have this issue with Anna or Olaf both of which I also swatched over Butter London's so I don't think it's a polish compatibility issue either but be sure you apply her over a dry layer and in thin coats! This is two coats with fished snowflakes. :) Which do you prefer? Elsa or Olaf?

Funky Fingers Olaf

You may have heard by now that Funky Fingers, a US brand carried at Five Below stores, has come out with a little polish collection inspired by Disney's Frozen. The line consists of three glitter polishes: Olaf, Anna and Elsa. They have quite a bit in common in that they are all top coat glitters with snowflake shapes and small and large hexagons. However, they do differ in color. So today I have Olaf for you. Olaf is white glitter with tiny holographic shimmer throughout. I have swatched him over Butter London Airy Fairy and I think the combo is fabulous!

This is two coats of Olaf and before you ask, yes, like most shape glitter polishes, you DO have to fish a little for the snowflake glitters if you want them on every nail. For Olaf I just let them come off the brush naturally and as you can see with five nails and two coats each I managed two snowflakes. For Anna and Elsa (coming this week!) I fished the snowflakes out instead so that each nail would have one! :)

The Digital Dozen DOES....Texture!

frozen

So this week the theme for The Digital Dozen is texture. I have to admit, this week didn't really excite me. I'm just not really a texture kind of girl. However, that's one thing I love about the group, it really challenges me to think outside my box! My day one is a bit lame looking but in person it was rather stellar. I had some camera and lighting issues trying to capture it but hopefully from here out my lightbox will have sorted all that! At any rate these were sort of inspired by the Disney movie, Frozen. I used an icy holographic blue and silver and then did a silver gradient on the tips to sort of mimic the winter taking over. The silver had holo in it too but you can't really see it here. Can't win them all though, can we? I hope you enjoy anyway!! Don't forget to check out what the other ladies came up with!!
