Day 43: Funky Fingers nail polish haul

Today's post is ALL BOUT THE amazing Funky Fingers nail polish from the Five below store. Don't bother trying to find these polishes anywhere but EBAY, Five Below locations, and random Instagram destashes where people are selling them off. Other than that, its seems Five Below has exclusive ownership of this brand and only sell it to their stores. PLUS, and here's a downer, you CANNOT shop at Five Below online. Nope! They have a website but only so you can see some items and find store locations. They claim to have over 300 locations across the United states, so if there's one even remotely close ( less than an hour or so away) GO!!!! REally, you must, IF YOU love great deals, AMAZING POLISH and cool accessories for phones, tablets, etc. ITS WORTH going.

The nearest store to me is almost 45 minutes away but I was determined to go and so i did, on my birthday. lol. it was THE BEST birthday I have ever had BTW. Not just because I went to FIVE BELOW and bought OVER 15 polishes, plus some amazing pins but it sure helped to sweeten the deal. :)

Here are some pictures I took of SOME of the polishes I purchased at Five Below. They sell them usually at $3 bucks each or 3 for 6$ bucks when their having a deal.


1. Berried Treasure
2. Like Clockwork
3. Mint Choco Chip


 1. Unicorn Farts
 2. Love Park 

Next week, i will post a complete funky fingers swatch of these polishes. So stay tuned for those. 

 Is this not polish HEAVEN?!!! i Seriously could LIVE HERE. You think the room and board fee is affordable? lol

As always,

Have a grand day and DON'T forget to Glaze!

Day 40: Nail Mail indie polish maker

Hi everyone! Today is a very special post
 To showcase a very special cause: SUPPORT FOR SMALL BUSINESS and indie product makers.

The Story:

As I was coming home from an aromatherapy essential oil class, I received some nail mail. All you polish lovers know how wonderful it is too receive nail mail and seeing mine instantly put a smile on my face. :) 

So I open the mail and I receive, not only beautiful indie polishes but a thoughtful, personal note from the creator herself.

View the pic below to see what the note said.

This is why folks, it's IMPORTANT to support local and small businesses. It does the AMERICAN community no good to give our 💵💵 to rich people who are getting richer and outsourcing jobs. The ECONOMY we live in needs the help of local, USA invested and handmade businesses to uplift us out of this slump.


THINK BEFORE YOU BUY.
Ask yourself: "If I buy this, will it help put food on the table for a family here on our US SOIL?

If it won't, perhaps saving a few extra bucks and investing In local products is the BETTER INVESTMENT.



As always, have a Grand day and don't forget to Glaze!
