A few more Finger Paints.

Last night I went back to Sally's to grab a few more Finger Paints. I am pretty sure I spotted another nail junkie while I was there. We're a mysterious and illusive species and you rarely see us in the light of day, but I feel like I have the knowledge to identify one of my own kind when I see one. 


She was a 20 something woman with neon green nails filed to perfection. I noticed this from 20 feet away the second she walked through the door at Sally's. Yeah, I always obsessively STARE at strangers until I get a glimpse of their nails. So what? Anyways, she walked in, looking down at the ground, and made a straight B line to the polishes. A dead giveaway. Then she ninja grabbed the China Glaze Crackle Haunting 4 pack that I had JUST PUT DOWN!!! DAMN IT! She instantly bought it and I cursed under my breath for the rest of the night for putting it down. 


So, fellow nail junkie who STRAIGHT UP STOLE the new China Glaze Halloween collection from me, I hope you like your new polish. PS- I licked the package. Enjoy your strep throat. I'm pretty sure I have a swollen lymph node.


When I checked out at the register the SA went out of her way to give me a free purse. I think that means I am spending too much money there. I ended up buying 3 new Finger Paints, a new Orly, Fresh, marked down to 1.99 and China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-le. It's one of the only CG's in the core collection that I don't already have. So, I got it.


I'll go ahead and swatch all of my new ones even though the title of this post expressly says Finger Paints. Whatever. I do what I WANT!

 First up, this gorgeous hidden gem from China Glaze that I have somehow managed to ignore until now. So weird because I absolutely LOVE this color and I am wearing it right now. It's a little sheer but worth it.

Pretty redish purple. I really like this one. I have found that all the Finger Paints I have purchased dry super duper shiny. Mama likey!

HOLY SHIT! Dark blue super pigmented jelly with loads of super tiny pink shimmer. I LOVE THIS! I am so glad I got this one, I put it down 3 or 4 times.

 Here is another view of the polish above without flash to show the insane shine. Sooooo shiiiiiiiiiiiiinyyyyyyyyyyyy.

 Wow. A perfect lavender that does not make my skin look red. Love it.

 Last we have my clearance polish. I think they sold everything from this new collection but this one polish so they marked it down. I saw this last weekend and it was 6.99. It's a neon so it dries matte. Pictured here at 2 coats with no topcoat. I'm not crazy about this but I am fairly sure that for Halloween I'm wearing this with OPI Black Shatter on top because it looks CRAZY AWESOME.

Love, MM

My first Finger Paints.

 For some reason I have always resisted Finger paints polishes. No matter how much I have ever loved any of their colors I always told myself NO! I think I may have been scared to open the gates of collecting a whole new brand? Maybe it's because I don't have any space on my nail polish racks? I'm not sure, but that business has come to an end. This past weekend I bought my first 6 Finger Paints.

 LOVE! This smokey light green creme reminds me a lot of something else but I can't put my finger on it. Is this an Essie Sew psyched dupe minus the shimmer? I am fairly sure that if I searched my stash long enough I would find a dupe of this. I don't really care though.

 Drop dead gorgeous teal creme that leans blue. This one is a crowd pleaser for sure. It's my fiances fav out of all my polish purchases this fall and both of the girls went home wearing this last weekend.

 OMG!!! I must be dreaming! Super dark green creme that isn't streaky, doesn't get gummy, covers well, and dries fast??? I will be needing another bottle of this no doubt!

 This is my mani today. I adore this greenish bluish greyish creamy polish. This is a one coater.

This photo is showing the polish about 2 shades lighter than it is in person. I really like this red jelly but it takes a good 3 coats to get it to the opacity pictured and I still had visible nail line. 

 

I also picked up my first crackle ever! I have since gotten several more but I still really love this one.This is over To-Teally Chic. I am WAY behind on this whole crackle business.

Over all I really love Finger Paints. I think the name is so cute and the bottle is awesome. Good colors and formula. I am going back for more this weekend. I just wish they were cheaper. 

Love, MM
