Nice Things To List: F.U.N. Lacquer

Showing posts with label F.U.N. Lacquer. Show all posts

Well hello there!

Today I have decided to add in some stamping amid the other challenge prompts for the month! Make sure to see other bloggers who joined the Stamping Saturday this week!

It took me a while which Bundle Monster plate I'd like to test out and I did finally settled on BM707 from the Secret Gardens Collection (which I pruchased the whole set :P) I also used the Glass Stamper and boy is it such an ease to place my stamping now! I ran out of my stamping polish so I used Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" for today's stamping!

For the gorgeous blue-ish purple holo base, it is FUN Lacquer "Anna", my all time favourite polish! Here I have the macro close up shot of one of the designs from the BM707 plate :) Loved how these turned out with close to perfect stamping and fine lines!

Now here's the link-up!

Hello everyone!

Yes, this IS a swatch post in the midst of so many nail art manis from the 31 Day Challenge. I managed to squeeze F.U.N. Lacquer's Anna in hehe! This polish is a new addition to F.U.N. Lacquer's Le Princess Collection 2.0

Let me start off with saying that this polish is perfection. The formula was a tad thick, otherwise it was really great. Almost a one-coater, but for swatch's sake, it's all two easy coats + Glisten & Glow's HK Girl top coat.

Application was smooth, it also dries semi-matte. So a glossy top coat would be needed. Now let's move on to my description of the color itself.

Anna is a strong holographic polish that is superb under sunlight. It is a blue leaning purple based polish. However, when I move my fingers ever so lightly and catching different lighting, I see this incredible purple sheen of light purple that just amazed me the most. I shall stop describing and let the pictures do the talking!

I recently invested in a clip-on macro lens to be used on hand phones. And here, I introduce you this juicy picture of holo-goodness with an obvious shift in purple-blue. *drools*

As mentioned, Anna under sunlight is double WOW. The holographic in this baby just shone ever so brightly and the purple sheen is still there!!

And again, you're welcome for the macro shots (I love them so much I can die)!! I'm so loving this macro clip-on lensssss!! Best buy ever!

Lens aside, here is a collage to wrap up this post! Hoped you love Anna as much as me!

Hello friends!

Today I have for you my very first owned indie polish! I have always been tempted to buy indie polishes from meimeisignatures or beautysofly. F.U.N. Lacquer's full size bottle (16.7ml) costs SGD$16.64 and mini size bottle (7ml) costs SGD$9.60. You can purchase them at their Etsy store and they also ship worldwide! As I live in Singpaore, I got my polish the 3 days after it was shipped out.

I came across F.U.N. Lacquer through Instagram and decided that I should take this chance on getting indie polish PLUS a holographic nail polish. I don't own any holographic polishes of yet and so I thought I could kill two birds in one stone! Indie + holo :D

Anyway, coming back to the review...

The mini bottle is really cute and the brush is slightly smaller than China Glaze's brush. Application was great and I realised that the polish dries faster than other nail polishes that I own. It is a plus point since I may accidentally hit onto something after applying polish :P

However, when I was applying on some of my nails, I see there are some bumps. The bumps were covered well after the second coat and wasn't really a problem when top coat was applied.

As you can see, it is pretty opaque for a first coat and look how gorgeous the color is! F.U.N. Lacquer described Ariel as a "turquoise holographic nail polish" and I totally agree. The turquoise is leaning more towards green and there are gold, red, blue sparkles which is really awesome. The longer I look at them, the more stunning the color becomes.
