It seems as though Finger Paints has added 7 neon shades to its range. I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but the fact that there is no collection name (the display just says, "new neons!") makes me think these will be core.



I have split these swatches into two posts simply because I can only deal with photographing neons for so long. It's an arduous process!

Finger Paints 15 Minutes of Frame ruined my camera's life. There was literally no hope for it with this shade. 15 Minutes of Frame is bright kelly green-teal hybrid that is all sorts of gorgeous. You need to see this in person!

2 coats, topcoat

 Finger Paints Pink Perspective is a super hot pink. It literally glows. I'm not sure why I avoided hot pinks for so long, but I kind of want to collect them all now. Hot damn!

 Finger Paints Inkblot Blue. Hold me closer, Tony Danza. This blue is ridiculous. ABSURD!





The formula on these is pretty awesome! They applied with no problems whatsoever. Also, the pigmentation is top notch - no white base is needed to make these babies pop.



This month, Finger Paints are $3.99 ($2.99 for professionals) at Sally Beauty. Plus, if you buy three, you will get a free tote. What a perfect excuse to buy all of these!

Sinful Colors Cinderella is a soft, pastel blue with coppery pink flecked shimmer. It's so cute! The finish is quite squishy, which is another plus. If the shimmer were just a bit more obvious, Cinderella would easily make it into my top 20.



I've run into application issues with some Sinfuls before because they seem to have a strange thick, yet runny formula. Subsequently, I was very cautious applying Cinderella. Three very thin coats did the trick.



Sinful Colors Cinderella retails for $1.99 and is available at Walgreens.

As a thank you to my followers, I am giving away the full Layla Hologram Effect collection. They are gorgeous polishes that I think everyone should try!

Mercury Twilight, Coral Glam, Retro Pink, Ultra Violet, Jade Groove, Mermaid Spell, Ocean Rush, Flash Black

I am also including a bottle of Nfu.Oh Aqua Base to make these a lot easier to apply.

Essie Pink-a-Boo is a light pink with iridescent shimmer. You know how some polishes have tons of shimmer and look amazing in the bottle and then once you've applied it, it might as well be a creme? This is not one of those polishes. The shimmer definitely showed up for the party.



I honestly do not remember how this applied, which might be a good thing. I mean, if it were absolutely terrible, I would remember...right? I will just say that the formula is average. Nothing remarkably terrible or amazing to report.

I chose the first three polishes that popped into my head to compare with Chanel June. My mind definitely cries dupe way more often than necessary (i.e. it's usually wrong).

Deborah Lippmann P.Y.T., Chanel June, China Glaze Peachy Keen, Barielle Blossom

It was obvious from the bottles that two were definite outliers, but I stayed the course anyway.

The swatches are shown in the same order as the bottles, 3 coats each

As far as comparisons...



-P.Y.T. is far too pink but has the same squishy creme finish as June.

-Peachy Keen is the most similar of the bunch, but it is brighter and has a true creme finish. Note to self: I bet a coat of PYT over Pechy Keen could achieve a near-June result.

-Blossom is not at all similar, but super pretty, and I must remember to wear it soon.





With the slew of dupes coming out from cheaper polish brands (oh hey Revlon), I would imagine that a color as popular as June may have a dupe sometime in the future. The only question is, are you willing to wait?



If any polishes come to mind that you'd like compared with June, let me know. If I have it, I'll compare it.

3 coats

Chanel June is a gorgeous peach. The finish is a cross between a creme and a jelly, which results in a squishy, yummy looking finish. I just love squishy cremes. The color is also a love for me. This is as close to orange as I can get before things get ugly.



The formula is great. I had no issues with application, and three thin coats were enough for full opacity.



So, is this a must-have? I can't in good conscience recommend a $26 polish to anyone, especially since a lot of popular Chanels have been duped by cheaper brands lately. However, I will say that I absolutely love it and plan to wear it often, so it is a must-have for me.



Chanel June is limited edition, retails for $26, and is available at Chanel.com
