Finger Paints: Wild About Spring 2013

These are 2 polishes that I bought right before Easter, and even though they are perfect Easter colors, I had a different mani in mind.  I've finally gotten around to using these 2 colors though!  I made the mistake of looking on the internet for the full collection, and found that each one of these polishes came with a matching insect or animal ring. I knew that you got a ring when you bought these colors, but my Sally's was all out of the rings, and I really missed out. :( The rings were pretty darn awesome.  I did win Owlin' At The Moon that had the owl ring, so that is a bit of a consolation! :)
Isn't it special?

This is 2 coats of Itsy Bitsy Spider, a realy sheer medium purple with a gorgeous blue shimmer.  And the blue shimmer does translate on the nail! I hate when a polish has a lovely shimmer that stays in the bottle. I want it on my nail!  I then used a thick-ish coat of Fishin' for Fun, a clear-based polish full of pink and fuchsia/ magenta shards.  When I purchased the polish, I mistakenly thought these were flakies, which lie flat against the nail.  Some of these shards, while not in the "taco" realm, did pop up.  That drives me crazy!  I pulled those off and put another top coat on (Seche Vite used first, then Sally Hansen Diamond Flash) and all is well. Some spots are still a little bumply, but I can deal with that.  It's nothing that will catch on clothes or my hair.   I hope you like!!
