Picked up some of the new Finger Paints that have been added to the core collection for 2013! These are replacing some of the recently discontinued shades, and actually fill a gap in the core collection, which lacked a selection of glittery top coats. I believe this brand is only available at Sally Beauty Supply, and it's a shame that this brand doesn't get more hype! They have some pretty awesome shades.
Aside from the ones I got, there was an uninspiring pink, peach, lime green, and another glitter top coat that is suspiciously similar to the sparkle top coat they had for the 2012 holiday season. I may have to do some detective work and smuggle my bottle in to do some comparisons.
Swatches after the cut!
Finger Paints Colorful Collage is super blingy mix of small and large holo hex glitter in a clear base. Nothing groundbreaking, but VERY sparkly, this photo was taken when it was a bit over cast, and I can still see the rainbows in the glitter. Swatched here over Wet N Wild Black Creme, this is only one coat. I bet it could be built up for extra sparkle.
Finger Paints Hue Brighten My Day is gonna be perfect for the holidays, it's a fairly unique mix of silver, green, turqoise and purple hex glitter in a dark green jelly base packed with silver micro glitter. I love the combo, and especially being able to add a non-dupe green glitter to my collection! Two coats, but this was rather hungry for top coat.
Finger Paints Van Gogh's Violet is a fun mix of hol hex glitter and fuchsia microglitter in a clear base. There is also some sparse pink bar glitter, and you can see on near the tip of my middle figer above.

Finger Paints Peacock's Portrait is a appropriately named mix of large turquoise hex glitter and smaller purple, teal, and silver holo hex glitter in a clear base.The reflections really do have a peacock feather's color scheme going on. This is two coats.
And finally, Finger Paints Vintage Vincent. This is fun teal with silvery shimmer. I was sure I had something dupey to this, but it's actually very different from everything similarly hued. Amazing formula, almost a one coater and super smooth. It did dry a bit matte though, so I don't recommend skipping top coat. Also, don't skip base coat (like I did, eep!), this one stains like crazy!

Oh my gosh, how could I forget???
There's a promotion at Sally's right now where if you buy two of the new Finger Paints, you get this set of two silicone slap watch bands. I could not stop laughing when the sales lady told me about it.
Not really my style, but hey, free watch and even freer nostalgia for slap bracelets. My school had to ban them, because the metal bits would start to poke through the fabric and cut people.
