Finger Paints treatments

Today I have something a little different. I have some new treatments from Finger Paints to tell you a little about. 
I have tried these now and want to get the good word out on the street about these guys! 

First there is a 'gel like' top and base coat. They performed really well with a super amount of shine. And easy peasy removal with polish remover. A great alternative for in between salon visits! Retails at Sally Beauty Supply for around $5.99

Gel Like Top and Base Coat 


Next up is a great ridge filler. Smooth Over Ridge Filler. 
Makes all the ridges and unevenness of your nail completely smooth so that your polish applies super even and looks amazing! Just apply, and let dry then polish as normal. Retails at Sally Beauty Supply for around $5.99 

Next, is an amazing base coat sure to make your mani last for days (it surely did make mine last days longer)!
Grab It! base coat is a very nice super sticky base coat that enables your color to stick better and wear longer. Just apply, let dry and polish as normal. Retails at Sally Beauty Supply for around $5.99


Hard As Steel Strengthener, Smooth Over Ridge Filler & Grab It! Base Coat

And on to the nail strengthener. I know from experience that it can be super frustrating trying to grow out your nails, or just maintaining them. Working all day and the activities that we do can be very damaging to our nails. One of the great things you can do, is to find a wonderful nail strengthener to wear either alone or under your polish. It helps add strength and keep your nails from being easily damaged. 
I think Finger Paints hit it out of the park with this one. I really do like this product A LOT! 
Apply and let dry and go about your day. OR apply and let dry and polish as normal.
Retails at Sally Beauty Supply for around $5.99


Hope this gives you some onsite on some great new products!

Day Red?!

Get ready for Valentine's Day with two new products from Sally Hansen and NYC. 
Sally Hansen is launching a new nail polish in the color Moto. It is a Patent Gloss polish, which dries to a patent leather gloss look. I have on two coats in my photo below with no top coat. Dry time was normal. Application was great and coverage was amazing! With awesome wear time. This polish retails for $5.99
NYC is coming out with a new color in their Expert Last Lip Lacquer, called Rockaway Ruby. 
I was BLOWN away by this color. I really was expecting a lip gloss, but this formula was more of a liquid lipstick feel. AH-MAZING color payoff and the wear time was absolutely wonderful! I HIGHLY recommend this line. pssst... it also smells yummy! This retails for $3.99.

This post has everything to make your kiss and your claws absolutely stunning for Valentine's Day!! 
Don't pass these up.

Milani Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipstick

Milani has came out with some new matte lipsticks that have a super moisturizing feel to them. I love wearing matte lipstick but hate how weird and dry my lips feel and look when I have them on. NOT the case here. These 8 lipsticks feel amazing on the lips and don't dry them out. I applied mine in the morning around 7 and it lasted up until lunch when I ate. So wear time is pretty darn good if you ask me. Very creamy at application. 
These retail, starting at $4.99

There are also swatches of 2 popular Color Statement Lipsticks, that are very moisturizing and conditioning. Great wear and easy application. Retail starting at $5.99

2 ever popular lip pencils join this post as well. You'll find swatches below. Retail on these start at $3.49
