Christmas Eve Haul & Finger Paints Special Effects Swatches

I don't usually go out on Christmas Eve - but I'm glad that I did this year =)


I don't exactly know what's up with these absurd little nail files Orly's attached to the bottles ... and yet I still like having them LOL:



China Glaze:



I forgot to take a picgture of the Sparkle Topcoat, but here's the real treat - the Finger Paints Special Effects collection:


Black Expressionism, Asylum, Flashy, Flecked, Motley & Twisted.  They are completely & totally awesome =)  Don't believe me?  See for yourself:


Here are a few close-up shots of the swatches:


& now I learn - a bit late, because I'm so behind on reading other blogs - that Zoya is coming out with flakies!  & I only have like a week & a half to wait until I can order them!  *Drool*  Are you in love with flakies?  Have you picked up the Finger Paints and/or will you be picking up the Zoyas?

Thanks for reading.

  2. My absolute favorite flake polish is Rainbow by GOSH!! Its SUCH a beautiful color :) When you look at it from one angle its a deep fire orange and from another angle green.. the same green as the green that you see in Flecked :)

  3. I'm usually not a big fan of Finger Paints, but I do really like those colors you picked up.

    I like the green China Glaze, too. I will have to check for that color on my next trip to Sally.

    Great haul!

  4. I'll be interested to see the results with the $10 stamping kit. I had a bunch of people at work mention it to me b/c they know I have the Konad and Bundle Monster plates, but I still have never seen the commercial myself. I'm definitely curious to see how it compares and if they have it at my Sally's yet.

  6. Hi!! I thought of your when the Zoya hit the Press(blogs) . Funny it seemed as though they were instructed to deliver the post & pics simutaneously(seriously). AT about 11pm NYE my pages flooded.Anyhow I really look forward to the purples,blue and green in the Zoya (1/13 via website)..other than that im good on flakies for real I have the FP all five of 'em. Nice haulage~ Sallys is the bomb so is the fingerpaints line of lacquer. *** also a few Zoya look dupish to OPI Holland.

  7. I picked up Motley today. It was the only one left besides Asylum. I really wanted Twisted. Looking forward to Zoya's flakies too, but I want to see swatches first. I don't need too many of them that look alike.

  8. Hi, here in Brazil, we have many flakies... all of them so gorgeous and shinning as the "gringo" ones... these polishes of yours are amazing as well!!! China Glaze is a very pop brand around here... we love it!

  9. Where do you buy the FP flakies? I'm in NYC and I can't figure it outtt. No Ulta or Sally's Beauty here either =/

  10. Can't wait to see what you think of the Salon Express stamping kit. I bought one myself as a stamping novice and I'm still learning how to make it work (your vids help!). I'd like to know if there really is a noticeable quality difference between it's images and the Konad ones.

  11. Oh! And I can't believe you didn't pick up one of the little Orly candy canes! My Sally's had them for $2. Yay!

  13. I am getting both the flakie collections - Finger Paints already here as I think they are gone from all Sally's - now they are just left on eBay - worth picking up a few even at eBay prices - they are wonderful - Twisted probably the most unique. Will order Zoya on the 13th this week

  14. Love Orly Au Champagne. I am using it now for a lovely winter snow and I am putting various toppers on it. Love it with SH Champagne (not a ton of bling - no silver or any color to it - it's delicious) I think it's called...same collection as Glass Slippers is from. Grrrz...none of 4 Sally's I looked at ever put any of their CG holiday shades on sale (yet)...it was a great collection. Agree with you on those odd little nail files on the Orly. I tossed mine. I only use glass files.
