Lippmann Funky Chunky Review

Good Morning Lovelies!

Today I have a Review for ya!

Lippmann sent me Funky Chunky to review.  They asked what I might wanna take a look at, and I named a few, Funky Chunky being one of them, because it just intrigues me!  Sadly, it's the only one I was sent.

I had the idea that while most think it might not look good after multiple coats( I actually don't mind it a bit like that), maybe it would look good for layering!  I know Deborah Lippmann has commented that she intended this to be worn in a single coat, and while I think we can all agree that might not be the best option, I thought, well, maybe layered over a bright polish?  Let's take a look!

I started out with 5 nice bright polishes:

Thumb- China Glaze "Turned up Turquoise"

Index - China Glaze "China Rogue"

Middle - Sinful Colors "Dream On"

Ring - Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Lickety Split Lime"

Pinkie - China Glaze "Millennium"

Now, After 1 Coat of Funky Chunky:

The pinkie looks great, I think, but, where are all the sequins?  My Index didn't get 1!

I think it would look AWESOME like this if 2 things were different. 

1 - More Sequins

and

2 - Less Streaky

But, I'm not a pro applicator like some out there.

Let's try another coat shall we?

 

Again, the pinkie looks pretty good!

But the others, ehhh...

I think the ring finger looks like a dark pickle!

Now, let's see it on it's own:

Pinkie and Ring have 1 coat

Middle and Index have 2 coats

Thumb has 3 coats.

So basically here's my final thought.  Try to get a nice even 1 coat over a metallic, it's quite nice! 

Otherwise, maybe I need to thin it down with some clear to make it alittle less streaky, that way 1 coat over a bright may work. 

I really like the concept of this polish!  I am wondering if they went back and re-formulated this, cause alot of the other swatches I have seen of 2 or 3 coats, the nail was just packed with sequins, and my thumb at 3 coats only had 4 sequins I think.  I  wish I would have gotten other polishes along with this to review, cause I have heard so many great things about Lippmann.  I'll pick up a few one of these days! 

I plan on playing with this more, I just ran out of time the other night.  I'll try a few more tricks and let you guys know how they work out.

So in closing, I think this looks good at 3 coats!  Either do to a re-do with less sequins, or my poor application.  I also think 1 nice even coat looks sweet over a metallic!

Try it out, you may like it!

Have a great day!
