Checked out my local Sally's the other day and was excited to find the new holiday collection by Finger Paints, Enchanted Winter. Now, I didn't see anything saying this was a texture collection, but I had my suspicions, and I was correct! I only got three shades, but I'm pretty sure the rest were also textured, as evidenced by this blog post by Burb Beauty!
Finger Paints Winter Chill is a black texture polish with pink and blue sparkles. I don't own a texture like this, but it does remind me a lot of Hard Candy Bite of black...just textured. This is the thinnest formula, it needed three coats for opacity.
Here is Winter Chill with topcoat, super sparkly and galaxy-esque.As always, this took a coat of Gelous and two coats of QD topcoat to get smooth.
Finger Paints Sparkle in the Sky is a denim blue texture polish with multi-color sparkles, most noticeable purple and green. This is verrrry similar to OPI Alcatraz...Rocks, as I'll show below. This was two coats.
And here it is with topcoat. Like a night sky, took the regular Gelous+topcoat to smooth it out.
Here is a comparison swatch of Finger Paints Sparkle in the Sky verses OPI Alcatraz...Rocks. The only real difference is that the OPI has a slightly deeper and cooler base. This was taken in shade, but it bright light the difference is much less obvious. If I had to choose I'd pick the OPI, but I think the formula is a bit better on the Finger Paints, dries faster, needed fewer coats. Near dupes, normal polish fiends probably don't need both. Good affordable alternative to the OPI!
Finger Paints Enchanted Winter is a rust colored texture with pink and gold sparkle. This is very lovely and took two coats. As you'll see below, it's very close to Nicole By OPI Cinna-Man of My Dreams.
And with topcoat, soooo lovely! It's weird, the ring finger looks darker than the rest in all these photos, I'm really not sure why.
Here's comparison swatches of Finger Paints Enchanted Winter verses Nicole by OPI Cinna-Man of my Dreams. Again, the Finger Paints doesn't have as dark of a base, but it's very slight. Formulas are pretty much the same, two coats. Nice dupe!
