Finger Paints Enchanted Winter Holiday 2013 Swatches & Review
Swatching this collection was a very confusing experience for me because I had no idea they were textured polishes!

| 2 coats with 1 coat Dior Gel tc |
Finger Paints Spell Binding is a deep red base with mainly red and blue glitter, maybe some holo glitter too. I added top coat because I thought it was just a gritty glitter. I'll have to re-swatch this at some point. Anyway, it's really pretty!

Finger Paints Enchanted Winter is a complex copper base with pink sparkle. It dawned on me that these were textured when I was photographing this swatch, so I changed my approach.

Finger Paints Sparkle in the Sky is a blue base with gold, purple, and green sparkle. Pretty close to OPI Alcatraz Rocks.

Finger Paints Midas Touch is a gold base with silver sparkle. The silver glitter sort of gets buried under the opaque gold, so this one is borderline popcorn ceiling texture.
Because I had to wait a bit to let these dry (I mean, once I found realized the finish), I ran out of time and couldn't swatch the other two, Snow Crystals and Winter Chill. I'll have swatches of those up as soon as I can.
UPDATE: Click here for a Snow Crystals swatch
The formula on these was fine. I didn't have any majore application issues. They were a bit slower to dry than other textured polishes I've used.
Finger Paints is available at Sally Beauty

Sparkle In The Sky is gorgeous! If I didn't already have Alcatraz...Rocks, I'd definitely get it.
ReplyDeleteI bought a few of these as well, had no clue they were textured. Grrrr - it irritates me when some major detail is not mentioned on the bottles or the display (I checked).
ReplyDeleteThat said - Sparkle in the Sky is beautiful.
Hmm, not into this collection so far except Spell Binding (and likely 'cause you have a top coat going on there!).
ReplyDeleteI was underwhelmed by AR (soooo much hype), which is probably why I don't loved Sparkle in the Sky either.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's really frustrating! I don't mind sparkly textureds, but I definitely would've only picked up 2 instead of the whole collection.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you, to be honest. I think these shades would've been better if they weren't textured.
ReplyDeleteI love Sparkle in the sky. Will definitely be picking that up.
