Happy Halloween!

I did something simple for Halloween this year. I've been working on nail strengthening and really busy with school and wedding planning. I used some fun Halloween polishes!

It's the red in the Funky Fingers 2011 Halloween set. They're unnamed. I topped it with WetNWild Tangled in My Web and a Pumpkin Polish glitter. 

Here is the pumpkin polish I got from Rite Aid. It's orange foil hex and bar glitter. It is horrible quality lol, but still fun. They really stick up and are hard to place. 

This is Tangled in My Web, flat black hex glitter.

And here is the red all by itself. Gorgeous rich red that is vampy without being too dark, shimmer with a little frost. I totally painted this in the car haha. Not too shabby right?

This year for Halloween we stayed home and gave out candy :).

 I made the bowl :).

Jeremy and I carved a pumpkin together. He wanted it to be a vampire lol!

Funky Fingers Kenyan Sunset

This is Funky Fingers Kenyan Sunset, a lovely violet scattered holo polish. This is two coats.


Beautiful! You can only find Funky Fingers polishes at 5Below, an east coast discount store.


Here is her bluer-purple side depending on the light.

Have and Funky Fingers? Like them? They do have a few really unique ones!

Won Halloween Giveaway!

I won Polish Fixation's Halloween giveaway! I love it! She shipped the stuff out so fast!!!

It included candy, nail stickers, a note, and a Funky Fingers polish Halloween set. 

I love how she spiced up the package with pink zebra tape and Halloween stickers!!

Here are the polishes in the FF set. They aren't named. 

This was really hard to capture. The true color is in between this one and the one in the set. It's a rick purple creme that's very dark and winey. 

Looks like a regular black creme. 

Gorgeous red with red, blush, and gold shimmer

Bluey purple shimmer base with hot pink and purple microglitter

Nail stickers with bats and glow in the dark moons. These are different than usual nail stickers in that they're gel. They might even be reusable. Interesting!

Thanks so much Erika!!!

Funky Fingers Golden Coast and Random Facts

I saw this in the bloggy world and thought it would be fun to fill out. I'd love for my readers to get to know me :D.

1. What’s a nickname only your family calls you?
Meggie Leigh or Megz

2. What’s a weird habit of yours?
Umm...I snore? I can't think of a weird one...

3. Do you have any weird phobias?
Ants...I'm really fine with any bugs as long as it's on my terms. Like not in my house, not randomly discovered upon me, but it's fine if I choose to touch them or observe them in nature. It's because I found them in my bed one night, like lines of them. And they ate my fucking birthday cake.

4. What’s a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you’re alone?
Lately it's Adele Someone Like You. I have many lol. A few Kate Nash ones too. She's awesome.
5. What’s one of your biggest pet peeves?

6. What’s one of your nervous habits?
Grinding my teeth and cleaning out under my nails.

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
My side :D. The right side when you're laying down. I don't have to sleep on the same side in every bed though. Like in a hotel it's usually the one with the lamp or closest to the plug or something.

8. What was your first stuffed animal and its name?
First is a hard one...I did have a Velveteen Rabbit. After I read the book I got sick and cried because I thought all my toys would have to be burned lol.

9. What’s the drink you always order at Starbucks?
I have a few favorites. Always a tall skinny/light - either caramel late, the exciting seasonal flavor latte, or caramel chip frappuccino

10. What’s the beauty rule you preach, but never actually practice?
Not to clip your cuticles. I so do....but not much.

11. Which way do you face in the shower?
Umm...both ways? This is a dumb question lol. When washing my hair, I face away from the shower head. When washing my body, I face towards it.

12. Do you have any weird body skills?
I can twist my left arm, palm down on the table, 360 degrees around. Aaannnd....touch my tongue to my nose.

13. What’s your favorite comfort food that’s “bad”, but you love to eat it anyway?
Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream

14. What’s a phrase or exclamation you always say?
Sweet yo!

15. Time to sleep – what are you actually wearing?
This varies a lot for me depending on how much I care and how hot I am: dress nightie, pj pants or shorts and tank top with a bra thing in it, or nothing.

Anything else you want to know? :D
Please feel free to fill it out too, and leave it in the comments :D. Or link to your post if you want to blog about it.

And for some nail love - Funky Fingers Golden Coast

This is two coats of Golden Coast, a gold holo glitter. It does have full coverage potential, but of course works well over another color too. As a glittery topcoat, it's a lot of glitter, not just a little spritz.

Pedi From the Boyfriend :D

So he told me he would paint my toes before he left for deployment more than six months ago. He didn't have time, so I gave him a rain check. Of course I didn't forget!! Six months later...

He picked the colors for me :D.

Isn't is pretty? Not too messy either! This is NOPI Wile Blue Yonder Matte from Amber :D. It's a lovely, normal blue, glitter matte.

Here it is with the glitter - Funky Fingers Sand and Stilettos!

Bling bling holo!

And the finished product in the sunshine on our fishing trip!

Does your man ever do your toes? I love it!!

Playing with Icicle Lights

I started doing a mani with Funky Fingers Icicle Lights, and after 3 coats I could still see visible nail line. So I decided to play with it and see how it went...

Left to right: FF Icicle Lights over silver, FF Icicle Lights over FF Kenyan Sunset, FF Sugar Plum 3 coats (no vnl and more opaque in person), FF Icicle Lights 3-4 coats with vnl

FF Icicle Lights over silver - totally the best

FF Icicle Lights over FF Kenyan Sunset - Pretty but takes away from the Icicle Lights I really wanted to see. And it so didn't look matte in person.

FF Sugar Plum 3 coats (no vnl and more opaque in person)

FF Icicle Lights 3-4 coats with vnl

Polishes I need to layer normally piss me off, but not so much with glitters. And never if it's worth it like this one so is :D.

Funky Fingers for All!

That's right! I went to 5Below, which is only located on the east coast, and picked up loads of polishes for my partners in crime, including a few for myself. If you're not already a part of our awesome nail polish Facebook chat group, join here!
