Finger Paints Spring 2013 Wild About Spring Swatches & Review
Finger Paints I Spy-Der, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Are You Hoppy?, Owlin' at the Moon, Fishin' for Fun |
Finger Paints Wild About Spring is pretty much full of win. There are actually six colors in this collection, but the one I left out was an afterthought, meaning I initially passed on it. I'll show you why in a bit.
Let's start with the glitters. I dabbed all of them on, which is much more effective than trying to put these on in coats. With a little patience, you can get all the shards to lie flat on your nail.
Over 2 coats China Glaze Aquadelic |
Finger Paints Owlin' at the Moon is a light green shard glitter. The color reminds me of the fake grass that people use to stuff Easter baskets.
Over 2 coats of American Apparel L'Esprit |
Finger Paints Are You Hoppy is a lavender shard glitter.
Over 2 coats of Finger Paints Gimme Some Sugar |
Finger Paints Fishin' for Fun is a light pink and fuchsia shard glitter. The light pink is kind of salmon-ish.
3 coats |
Finger Paints I-Spy-Der is a warm pink crelly with iridescent shimmer. The shimmer is similar to CND Sapphire Sparkle.
2 coats |
Finger Paints Itsy Bitsy Spider (what's up with the spiders?!) is a cool purple loaded with the same shimmer. Definitely my favorite of the bunch. Go to your local Sally and pick this up! It's even prettier in person.
2 coats |
So, this is the afterthought. Finger Paints Hoppy Go Lucky is a gorgeous teal shade, but I wasn't initially sure I wanted to deal with a possibly frosty polish. I decided later that yes, it is indeed worth the extra effort.
1 extra coat sponged on |
The formula overall was pretty decent. The glitters are thick, but if you dab them on, it's not a problem. I didn't try thinning them. The shimmers are a little thick, but I had no major issues applying them.
Finger Paints Wilde About Spring collection retails for $5.29 ($4.49 for BCC holders) and is available at Sally Beauty.

I love the three shredded polishes the most! I could see myself having fun with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to say none of these are doing it for me, Lola! I'm just not much of a glitter person I guess. Have to say that I'm still highly impressed with the sponging on of the metallics, that's so frickin' cool! I still need to try that...
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say why you didn't pick up the other polish. Great swatches, I'm wanting the pink and the purple ones :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to deal with the frostiness of Hoppy Go Lucky. I ended up getting anyway though!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful metallic colors.
ReplyDeleteThese shimmers are gorgeous! I like the shards, but sometimes I dislike dealing with them.
