Lady Bugs!

Hey there!

Before I start I wanted to send a big thanks to Mercedes over at Nails & Nonsense. She replicated my Memorial Day nail art and she did a fantastic job! So thanks Mercedes! Maybe she would be willing to try this one next:

Lady Bugs! I got this idea from a cute little stuffed lady bug I have in my room. So for this manicure I used:

Pinky (which I know is upside down, hence the right-side-up picture below) - OPI - No Room For The Blues, Who The Shrek Are You. Color Club - Reddy Or Not. Orly - Liquid Vinyl.
Ring - Milani - Ruby Jewels. Orly - Liquid Vinyl, White Tips.
Middle - OPI - No Room For The Blues. Color Club - Reddy Or Not. Orly - Liquid Vinyl
Pointer - Orly - White Tips, Liquid Vinyl. China Glaze - Happy Go Lucky, Goin' My Way Color Club - Reddy Or Not
Thumb (which spell out LADY BUGS encase you didn't notice) - OPI - Who The Shrek Are You, Don't Mess With OPI.


I had a lot of fun with this manicure and it was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about how I did anything!

Funky Fingers Fridays


Hello there,

I am starting a new weekly post called Funky Fingers Fridays. I currently have 48 Funky Fingers nail polishes so I can almost make it through the whole year. These retail 3 for $5.00 or $2.00 each at Five Below. Feel free to click of the link to see if there is a Five Below near you!


Week One: Erin
Erin is a green glitter with a clear base. It took four coats to make it opaque and there are still a few bald spots, but WOW does it sparkle!


Natural Light
Artificial Light


I put one coat of Erin over black and white to give you an idea of how it looked layered. I used Orly - Liquid Vinyl for the black and OPI - Alpine Snow for the white. I LOVE Erin layered over black, it makes such a pretty color!

Artificial Light

I looked through my collection to see if I had a possible dupe and I came across Color Club - Object Of Envy from their Glitter Vixen Collection. Color Club and Funky Fingers are made by the same company (Forsythe Cosmetic Group) so I'm guessing that is why they are such a close match. however, I found that Object Of Envy applied nicer and was richer in color than Erin. I have Erin on the left and Object Of Envy on the right nail.

UPDATE: Just took this polish off and HOLY HANNAH! It took forever! But seriously, this is a great polish and an even better color so for me, it's worth the removal. :)
