2011 Finger Paints Spring Collection

So even though Sally's had a full display of these cute bottles with rings, I only grabbed 2, and to be honest, it was only because of the rings. I have very few Finger Paints, and this is because, they just don't have that many unique colors. For instance this collection is nothing special IMHO. Dang you rings, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have spent the money. Oh well. The formula on both was quit thick, but nothing a little thinner won't help. Since they were so thick though, both of these are only 1 coat, which I do love.

BTW, my camera has officially become a liar! This is more of a mint green than an in your face neon lime green. *shrug*
Chrysanthe-Mum's The Word

Aren't You Glad-iolous?

I'm a Nubar fan now!!

Ever since I got my first Nubar, Verde, I've been hooked on their colors and formula and I even love their bottles. I've ordered about 8 since then, eeekk. I wanted to share the ones I got in the mail tonight. Again, I bought these from eBay.
This one that is soooo incredibly pretty, trust me, in person this is way more pretty!! It's my fave from the 3 tonight.
This is 3 coats of Purple Rain Glitter.

Check out how pretty it is in the bottle!!

This is Reclaim, a REAL HOLO *cough couch* China Glaze! Although since I get home so late, there was no sun, so I tried my best, but it's a true green holo!!

and another holo, Treasure, but this is considered a scattered holo, where as Reclaim is a linear holo. Again, the sun would have been great for this, but I couldn't wait to swatch them. Maybe I'll re-do these and later on do a holo spam post sometime.

These last 2 are slightly blurred so you could see the rainbow in there.

WTF....Where is all the holo!?!?

Okay so I have heard that the China Glaze Tronica collection was a semi let down, and now I agree. It is nothing like the holo in the OMG collection :( I still think they are pretty, but just could have been sooo much more. Oh well. Well when I stopped at Sally's and saw them, I grabbed 4 and 2 of the new Finger Paints, mainly because the rings they came with were so freaking cute.

Here is what I got
L-R

Finger Paints Aren't You Glad-iolous?, ChG Gamer Glam, ChG High Def, ChG Hyper Haute, ChG Laser Lime & Finger Paints Chrysanthe-mum's the Word

and since I am so impatient some days, I wanted to try them all, so I did :)

Then trying oh so hard, I wanted to see the rainbow, and while it was slightly there, it was nothing like the OMG's. (maybe the sun was too bright, lol)

Def a Tought Art to Follow

Okay guys, I'm not feeling well, and haven't for almost 2 weeks now. So I am just exhausted and there won't be too much talking in this post. Actually as I write this my NyQuil is kicking in, and I'm about to pass out, lol. So I will just get onto the mani :P I used Finger Paints Tough Art to Follow and China Glaze Matte Magic for the tips.

I started with 2 coats of Tough Art to Follow. I just love this green so much!

Then using tape, I taped off the tips and added Matte Magic

Lightning & Lace

Before I removed the Sally Hansen Lightning, my previous posted mani, I decided to try a Konad over it. I used Claire's 14 Karats and Konad plate M71.

I just wanted to share my view from the couch as I was taking these pictures. My hubby and our Chi Rolo, they are BFF's, lol.

"It's A Sunshine Day" - The Brady Bunch

I'm not 100% sure why, but the oh so popular song that was sung by the Brady Bunch, It's A Sunshine Day, was stuck in my head as I was applying this. I was even picturing them dancing. Yeah, it's been a long day, and I am now wondering how much longer my brain will force me to listen to this song in my head, and force me to even sing parts out loud. *shakes head* Okay, I'll try to move on..... I love me some Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's. The formula rocks, colors are great and they can be used for Konading. Since I love to stamp, I figured why not grab this bright fun yellow. This one is Lightning. Okay now the song Grease Lightning came to mind!! Maybe I just need to listen to some music at the highest possible volume and sing/scream at the top of my lungs. Yep, that's what I shall do in hope to cure my obvious urge to sing.

Whoo Hoo, Absolutely Alice is mine!!

Thanks to the incredibly sweet Regni, from The lacquerista, I now own some of my most lemmed after polishes, and I can't wait to show you all! I might of actually even done the Cabbage Patch dance, when this box arrived, eeek, true dork I know. If you don't know that dance, then fell extremely lucky! Anyways, this is one of them, Absolutely Alice. Why in the world is this not part of their perm collection???  By far, this is now my #1 blue glitter, and def in my top 5 of all time. Not only did I do my mani with this, but I also did my toes :) It just sparkles more than any picture can show you, in real life.

I did this in the morning at home, then later that day while on my lunch break  I decided to add some tips.

Savina Purple Hologram

Yep another eBay purchase, lol. Once again, I had never seen this, and the color, and the word 'Hologram' hooked me instantly. I love the simplicity and yet complex color, that this is. It's very feminine, and subtle, till you look up close, and see all the glitter in it. It was a tad sheer, but I was able to achieve bottle color with just 3 coats, which was fine by me, it is well worth it.

Thanks to you, I want to stuff my face!

I am forever browsing eBay for fun new polishes. I love finding ones, that I never hear about, and just love them in real life. This was one of them. While browsing through a sellers store, that I had already found some pretties to buy, I saw this one. I know it's UBER old, and from what I've learned has been spotted at some Dollar Trees, but it's soooo pretty. My Dollar Trees don't have squat when it comes to polish, so I did pay more for it, but not much, and nothing I wouldn't pay for a unique fun color, that I own nothing like. Oh and for some reason, unknown by me, I kept smelling my nails, my brain was convinced it was going to smell minty, and was highly disappointed every time, when it didn't, lol. In one word, this polish is def YUM, and did have me craving those Andes Mints.

Essie French Affair

While on one of my trips to Rite Aid, I saw that they had a new tiny Essie display. Now, I'm not the biggest Essie fan. I'm not sure why, but I think that the $8 a bottle for not so unique colors is why. I can't even tell you guys my reasoning for grabbing this one, because it is in no way unique IMO, but I did, lol. It is a great pink though, and the application was great too. This is 2 coats of Essie French Affiar. Then for the tips I used Love & Beauty Grey.
