Finger Paints Rose Patina

Hello ladies. I just finished my last graduate class. It feels SO good! To celebrate I have a fun shimmery pink polish. This one is actually my moms. This is not a color I would usually go for but it actually turned out really pretty on my nails. It is Rosa Patina by Finger Paints. I don't own many FP but the ones I do own are pretty impressive. This was an easy 2 coater and the fact that it has shimmers made it an instant fav. 

My week in NOTDs: China Glaze It's Alive & Finger Paints Twisted

Sorry for my lack of posts this week but I wasn't fully satisfied with either of my NOTDs. I also went naked the beginning of the week. I think it was the stress of starting my second week at my new job and beginning my classes.

Ever since I got FP Twisted I wanted to wear it with black and red so I killed 2 birds with one stone and did an alternating mani. I used Wet n' Wild's Black Creme and China Glaze Winter Berry, then topped it off with 2 coats of FP Twisted

THEEEN I put on this beautiful green glitter that I skipped out on when it first came out. This is one of China Glaze's polished from their halloween collection - It's Alive. I had been wanting it and luckily found it at a local beauty supply shop on clearance and only just got to wearing it. The formula of this was a little lumpy for me but it's probably just because it's a bit old and could have used some thinner before I applied it.

That was my quick wrap up for the week. I am off to the shelter, hopefully adopting a dog very soon!

Finger Paints Special Effect Twisted

My first nail polish purchase of the year was Finger Paints Twisted!

It was the only one I bought from the collection because I could live without the others haha.

I am really trying to save because this years Spring collections look amazing. Between ChG's Hunger Games, OPI's Holland, and Zoya's True and Fleck Collection my collection is going to grow significantly! And I hate to say this but I feel flakies are going to fade out just like the crack did when every brand started to create their own.

Anyway I am going to enjoy my flakies while I still can! This is Twisted over OPI's Funky Donkey. For some reason I have trouble capturing the greatness of flakies, even out in the sun.

These are the best images I could get of it.

Twisted was the most interesting to me IMO. It has multiple flecks in it, blues, greens, red, orange. It's just beautiful. I wanted to be different and stay away from applying it over black but I do realize now I need to apply it over a much deeper shade in order for all of the pretty colors to show through.

Did you purchase any of the flakies!?

Thanks for looking <3

Purple Polka Dots

To my very pleasant surprise, I received a nail parcel in my mail yesterday.

I had no recollection or ordering anything from online recently, nor had

I had planned any swaps!

Months ago I received a twitter message from Booty Babe telling me I received a free

nail polish! I finally got it yesterday and luckily my nails were nakie so I did a little something

with it.

I haven't done nail art in so long so I just did a simple polka dot mani with my Booty Grape polish and a black nail polish by Finger Paints.
