Good morning, Dear Reader!
Sally Beauty Supply sent me samples of their FingerPaints Winter Dreams Collection for Holiday 2010 to review, and I have swatches of them for you today. I'm a fan of FingerPaints in general, particularly the seasonal collections, but the FingerPaints holiday collections are always my favorites with great colors and finishes. The Winter Dreams Collection does not disappoint, either - every one of these polishes is a winner.
Winter Wishes is an elegant champagne shimmer with very fine gold glitter. I used two coats of Winter Wishes and topped it with a coat of Seche Vite so you could see how it really looks (the glitter was making it look less than attractive without top coat).

Holly Good times is a mixture of gold and red fine glitter in a clear base. I used two coats to make it opaque, and somehow this one reminds me of apple cider.

Just Plum Fun is a rich plum with a subtle shimmer, also a two coater.

Merry Mittens is a rust red shimmer with fine gold glitter. In two coats, the polish is opaque and the fine glitter shows through very well without being over the top - it's festive without being too much at all.

Mistletoe Mischief was the only one of the six that required a third coat for me. The polish was a bit thin, but for a Christmas green shimmer with tiny flaky bits, I'll do a third coat.

Last up, in keeping with the traditional ordering of things, is my favorite of the collection, Mulberry Madness. This one's a mulberry base with silver and mulberry glitter. It's gorgeous and it's good in two coats.

So those are the six colors in FingerPaints' Winter Dreams, and I really like every one of them. As for generalities regarding the collection, I found the shimmers with lots of glitter (Winter Wishes & Mulberry Madness) were quite thick, but after two thin coats and two coats of top coat, they're perfect. With the other four, when applying them I questioned whether they could be possibly opaque in inly two coats because the first looks really thin, but they're just fine. No changes have been to the brush or bottle, and I had nary a wonky brush, so I really have nothing at all to complain about.
The FingerPaints Winter Dreams Collection will be available online on Sally Beauty Supply's site and in stores in November. That's all I have for you today, Dear Reader, so until next time, love and nail polish to you!
