Stash Swatch Initiative: Finger Paints Twisted

Hello!

Finger Paints Twisted. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Today's polish is Finger Paints Twisted! A coveted flakie from a collection that wasn't around long enough. By the time I new these existed, they were gone when I went to look for them. Empty displays, boo! I was so excited to find this on a blog sale recently and couldn't snatch it up fast enough.

This beauty is a multi-colored flakie in a clear base. It looks yellow in the bottle from all the flakies packed in there. I chose to show this over black because the colors pop so well. As you can see, there's a rainbow of flakies here: deep blue, orange, green to yellow, light blue.

Swatches today are one coat of Sinful Colors Base Coat, one coat of Cult Nails Nevermore, one coat of Twisted (on all my fingers except my ring finger, which got two coats), and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. Formula was good. One coat of this polish swiped on provides a nice flakie density, and two coats, which I have on my ring finger, is awesome!

Twisted is phenomenal over dark polish! Flakies at their best! It looks great in matte too.

Like I first mentioned, I purchased this bottle second-hand from a blog sale. It is no longer available from Sally Beauty, which is terribly unfortunate. I never thought I'd get a bottle of this, so keep an eye out, you might find it for yourself like I did!

Haul: February!

Hello!

I've got a small haul post for this past month! I stopped in to Sally's while out running errands one weekend just see to if they had anything new or fun on clearance. I had my choice from the new China Glaze texture collection, Sea Goddess, so I picked up Wish on a Star Fish. The clearance rack had mini bottles of Travel in Colour from the most recent holiday collection, Happy Holiglaze. Finally, I found the new Sally Hansen Satin Glam collection at Target and picked up Chic Pink.

Lastly, a quick trip into CVS for a prescription found me also snagging these two from the Revlon Parfumerie collection, Pink Pineapple and Wintermint, on sale buy one get one half off. In my entire collection, I don't think I have this type of blush/baby pink. OPI Bubble Bath is much sheerer, and everything else is brighter. I was going to pick up Zoya Dot from the Awaken Collection to meet this 'need', but Pink Pineapple is cheaper and more convenient!

And that's it! A very quiet month around here for polish, but that's a good thing... I've been pretty ridiculous as of late. Next month is birthday month, so we'll see what happens! Onward!

More soon! ^_^

Stash Swatch Initiative: Pure Ice Tease

Hi!

I have another aged polish to show you today. This one is Pure Ice Tease. Tease is a sheer pink jelly base loaded with shimmer.

Swatches today are two coats of Tease, plus NYC In a New York Minute over my base coat of Seche Clear. Formula was good, but sheer as expected. Three coats would've been better now that I see the pictures on the big screen, but I usually use this as a topcoat rather than layer it up to opacity on it's own.

I'm sure I picked this up at least five years ago from Wal-mart. It's nothing too special, and I'm pretty sure I have similar polishes.
