Typically, a funky french is a twist on the standard French Manicure.
And it's pretty easy to twist it but still keep it "Frenchy".
I took this opportunity to try out some Flocked Leopard Black and Gold 'Fluffy' Nail Stickers that I received from KKCenterHk to review.
 |
| The stickers come packaged in a cute little blue and clear package with a ziplock tab at the top. You get 2 styles, oval and square/squoval, 10 of each style in varying sizes for pinky to thumb. Essentially - 1 sticker for each finger in 2 different styles. 2 full manicures worth. |
 |
| The stickers peel back easily but are thin, so be careful not to fold them under themselves and get them stuck. The adhesive on these SEEMS non-existent and doesn't feel sticky at all. But once they get on your nail, they are pretty immoveable! |
 |
| I used the stickers over a mani of Forever 21's Love & Beauty in Teal. A polish I recently acquired in a 3 pack of Blues through Copious for yet again, only a PENNY! |
 |
| The leopard nail stickers are a gold metallic fabric with a flocked black leopard print. Very 3D and wicked awesome. Because they are a fabric material, they do have spots where the polish below will show through. It is more apparent in these macro shots than it is in real life, but I like how they incorporate some of your polish shade into them. And the metallic gold is super blingy! |
 |
| The squoval shape is the one I did for these and it was the perfect shape for my nails. I would also like to add that no top coat was used on these. I simply applied them on top of polish that had about 15 minutes of dry time. |
 |
| As you can see in this side view of my nails, the stickers are pretty skinny. I would not suggest these for anyone with wide nail beds, but for mine they were nearly perfect. I didn't do a side cleanup with acetone as I normally would so you could see how they just slightly didn't reach the edges of my nails. But if I had done my cleanup they would have looked perfect! Of course again, as these are macro/close up pictures, the gap is much more obvious here than in real life! |
I was THOROUGHLY pleased with these nail stickers. They went on with ease and they stuck so well!
Seriously, after this dried, I tried really hard to peel them off and it
was harder to get these off than my actual polish they were stuck to!
But they came off with ease when I used some acetone on them.
They retail for $2.90 for the pack you see here - which will give you 2
full manicures if you use both shapes. You can also cut them to a
different shape if need be or use them on a friend!
