Petites Figi

I didn't plan on falling in love with Petites Figi...it just happened. I went to visit my parents for a couple of days (2-3) and ended up staying a over a week! I thought I'd packed my nail polish box and when I went looking for it, it was nowhere to be found. Needless to say, naked nails were driving me crazy! My mom and I went to Wal-Mart for a non-nail polish related trip but I wandered over there anyway. I'm glad I did, because I found Figi. Actually, I think Petites has stepped their game up because they had a couple of interesting shades, and depending on which Wal-Mart you visit, they range from $1.50-2.00. Not bad! So enough talk, lets get to the pictures!

Bottle Shot: Figi is blue/teal shimmer.

This is two coats + topcoat. The first time I wore this color on the aforementioned trip, I had no base coat or top coat. I just applied two coats of this color. Desperate times call for desperate measures okay? :-) I didn't see a chip for two days! To me, that's kind of amazing with no base coat or top coat.

Here's something I picked up grocery shopping at Wal Mart this weekend. It was cheap, the color was cute and it dried fast. That's where the good qualities end. The brush strokes in this polish drive me crazy! I know this is not the only polish that does this, but its the only one I own that does this. I could deal with that if it were not for the polish itself. I don't know if its the formula or the brush but when I was applying it, it kept making gaps in the polish as I went back over it. I don't know what was up with that but I am mad I even spent 1.50 on this. It wasn't even worth that. Good color concept, bad execution. I'm not happy with this manicure at all.

These pictures are after 1 day. It's already chipping and and it made me want to gag all day at work. I couldn't wait to take it off. Even with Seche Vite, the finish looks like the dry side foil paper. Ewww. Don't let the pictures fool you, that is not even close to what I see when I look at my hands. Never wearing this again.
