Finger Paints "Scenery Greenery"




Happy Monday my friends! Thanks for checking in today!!!! I have a fun green to share with you today. Since I cannot find Essie's Pretty Edgy ANYWHERE I am trying to fulfill my longing for a good green but I doubt anything will be as perfect as that one. The search continues...

So I picked up Scenery Greenery by Finger Paints a few weeks ago at Sally Beauty Supply. It's a great dark forest green creme. It's almost black but not quite, I have a few other dark greens which are even closer to black than this one so this one is a nice middle of the road dark green.

I will do a comprehensive green comparison at some point, maybe once I find Pretty Edgy but until then I did take a photo of the bottle compared to OPI's Jade is the New Black so you can get an idea of the tone.


The formula kind of sucks. It's super thick and gets pretty goopy around the rim of the bottle and on the brush. It can be difficult to work with as you put the initial glob of color on your nail and it is so thick it sort of just goops up before you can spread it out. I was able to make it look decent with a lot of clean up and a good topcoat. I just wish the formula was a little better.



So what do you think of this green? Do you like Finger Paints polishes? What colors do you like from them? What do you think of the formula? Sound off in the comments, I love hearing from you!!!!! Enjoy your week everyone and thanks for taking time out of your day to read and comment! Love you all! :-)

Color Club "Worth the Risque"



Yesterday I went searching for the new Essie collection and while I had no luck finding that I did score a pretty sweet deal on Color Club's Worth the Risque. I got this baby for $1.05! Yup. That's all! I was excited! Nothing else exciting in the clearance bin but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Worth the Risque is a stunning silver holo which came out, I believe, around the same time that Revvvolution did. The color is just so pretty and I wish my camera would pick up more on the rainbow it creates! Take my word for it, it is there.

This applies well with no real trouble though I did need 3 coats to even out some balding/streaking. Nothing horrible though. This particular formula dries quickly so sometimes it can build up on the rim of the bottle when applying. I just close the bottle and give it a shake and it takes care of that. I know many of you do not shake polish but I always have and don't have issues with bubbling so I will continue to do so.

Overall this is one of the better Color Club polishes I have tried. I like Color Club, they are inexpensive and have a variety of great/unique colors to choose from.






Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Sally Hansen: "Hidden Treasure"





Happy Wednesday readers! I apologize for the lack of posts this week. I have been dealing with some major stress in my life and I am feeling pretty overwhelmed right now. I hope I am making mountains out of molehills but right now I am feeling pretty helpless and hopeless.

On to happier things. I have been searching high and low for another bottle of Pure Ice's Free Spirit to send to the lovely Kellie and even though I went back to the Walt Mart I found mine at I had no luck finding another one. So the search continues... however at the first Wal Mart I found the oh-so-sought after Hidden Treasure by Sally Hansen. Though I originally passed on picking it up when I saw it this time I had to make it mine so in the cart it went and I am now the proud owner of this gorgeous flakie!! I am glad I bit the bullet on this because it's really lovely.

I layered it here with China Glaze's Grape Pop that beautiful deep violet from the Up & Away Collection. This color combo is a knockout. Try it, you won't stop looking at your nails. Hidden Treasure flashes mostly orange/gold but in the right lighting it has that great oil slick look to it - flashing peacock green, blue, orange and gold. It's very unique and it's going to be fun to layer on other colors.
Did you buy into the Hidden Treasure hysteria? What's your favorite color to layer it over?
