First Look – FingerPaints “A Pair Affair” by All Lacquered Up
Today I’m thrilled to share with you a first look at the nail polish collection I created for Sally Beauty, FingerPaints “A Pair Affair” by All Lacquered Up. Three duos of on-trend shades for multi-colored manicures, manicure-pedicure combos, and nail art.
I shared that the collection would include a green, a glass-fleck sage to be exact, partnered with a glass-fleck purple (more of a blurple). Well now you can see that the other duos consist of a sparkly teal with a glittering sand and a sultry, smoky blue shimmer with a rainbow glitter-packed coral jelly.

Color names (clockwise from top): Our Tips Are Tealed (teal), Bare No Secrets (sand), Sarong So Right (coral), You Yacht To Know Better (blue), Sage It Ain’t So (green), A Grape Catch (purple).
I’m so truly proud of how the collection turned out and I can’t wait to show you swatches and my favorite ways to wear the duos.
Thank you everyone for your supportive comments and tweets. It makes me even more excited to know that you are all along for this ride and cheering me on. You are the best!
The FingerPaints A Pair Affair by All Lacquered Up collection will launch in September 2013. FingerPaints nail polishes retail for $5.29/ea.

I mean, let’s get real, outside of a handful of beloved shades, when was the last time you finished a full bottle of nail polish? I seriously can’t remember, which is what make the Glosstinis a stroke of genius.
COVERGIRL Outlast Glosstinis
I’ll be honest, when I first heard the term Glosstini, I envisioned a line of sheer jellies and my heart immediately sank. Don’t get me wrong, I love a jelly for layering but, in general, they aren’t flattering on my nails. I was pleasantly surprised, and relieved, to find that the Glosstinis are simply minis of the full coverage, high-gloss polishes I fell in love with months ago.
