All 5 new Finger Paints flakies, and sparkle top coat!

Hey guys! Recently I was able to get all 5 of the new Finger Paints flakies, as well as the new sparkle top coat. My Sally's was nice enough to pull them out of the back for me before they were even supposed to sell them, so yay me :)

I heard that some people were getting them on discount, which was actually a mistake on Sally's and I guess lucky for those that did find them, but I paid full price, well with the Sally's card of course lol

I didn't want to swatch all five individually as that would have taken me FOREVER, and who has time? ;) So I did one on each finger, so this post will be pic heavy, but they are worth looking at!!

I have a base of WnW ink well (just one coat) and two coats of each of the flakies as well as my SV top coat.

From thumb to pinky we have motley, flecked, twisted, flashy, and asylum. All the pics are in that same order :)



After I had done all of that I decided I wanted to try stamping with one of the plates that came in a little stamping set I got from Rite Aid for Christmas. I don't actually have any "stamping" polish like the stuff Konad makes specifically for it, so the white isn't as opaque as I'd like it. This was also my first time doing a full stamp, and other than my thumb I think I did a pretty good job :) After I was done stamping I did the new Finger Paints sparkle top coat over it. It's really beautiful and fully worth the price! But it was hard to capture in pictures :P






So what are your overall thoughts on these new flakies? I haven't been a fan before now, but I honestly love all 5 of them!!

Until next time, happy painting!

Haul, and my first Julep box!

Hey guys! I hope all of you had a very merry Christmas! And I hope Santa was good to you all! He was to me!! I got a new laptop and a new vacuum (I asked for that lol) from my love :D

Anyway, on the 23rd I needed to run to the store for diapers for my monkey butt, and I stopped by Sally's on the way to see if the new Finger Paints flakies were out. THEY WERE! I got all five, and also got the sparkle top coat :D

I also put an add up on Freecycle a few days ago, and got a bunch of polish (27 in fact) but I'm only keeping 8.

Then on Christmas eve I got my first Julep Maven box (that I only paid 1 cent for with a recent promotion they were doing)

So I have all of those pictures to share with you!!



From left to right we have **btw I THINK I have these in the right order lol** Asylum, Flashy, Flecked, Motley, Twisted, and the Sparkle Top Coat.



From left to right we have, Finger Paints Mulled Cider, Easel Come Easel Go, In The Vault Violet, Orly Gold Rush, Merlot Mist, Flagstone Rush, Silver Mine, and LA Girls Metallic Pink.





So that's my first Julep Maven box...I'm pretty pleased with it!! The colors are Helena, Kim, Chloe, and a fast dry top coat :)

What do you guys think of all the new polishes?

Until next time! Happy painting!
