Finger Paints, Enchanted Winter.

I needed something quick and durable this particular week so I grabbed for a texture. This is actually from a 2013 Holiday Collection that was a bit of a sleeper but it's a fantastic collection of textures. I remember stalking my local Sally Beauty Supply stores for this collection. Enchanted Winter is just a fantastic texture polish; this is a great color and a great formula. It's a very sparkly mauve pink. Not to mention it's a dupe for  Nicole by OPI Cinna-Man of my Dreams. Sadly, this is no longer available. I applied 2 coats for perfect opacity and it applied so nicely I had very little clean up. Dried quick too! I used L.A. Girl Marine Base Coat and no top coat. I was so busy I  wasn't able to do my nails for two weeks and this held tight! Amazing! I really love Finger Paints Nail Color; they have a great selection of colors and are priced right.

Barielle's Nude & Naughty Fall 2013 Collection.

5 Pack. It's been a while since I've been really wowed by anything from Barielle even though I love their products. I felt the Summer Collections were lacking originality and the formulas did not impress. Apparently, they were saving it up for their Fall releases because I really LOVE this collection! Nude & Naughty is a neutral collection but what makes it special are all the little details and the formulas. I love neutrals but I still like to see special details thrown in. One of my favorites is a nice shimmer. Nail Stick Swatches; Indoors. 2 coats each. No Top Coat. When this collection arrived I promptly did some nail stick swatches; I initially thought I would love the milk chocolate color, In Good Taste , but I really loved the light brown shimmer, I Got A Headache . No Not Now is a taupe/mauve with a very subtle silver shimmer and is beautiful as well. I'm normally very bored with french colors but the two in this collection have excellent formulas....
