Fingerpaints Yes, You Can-vas
FP Yes, You Can-vas is a really old, non-b3f color that I've had for many years. It is a gorgeous warm red-purple jelly with stunning sparkles, and is a definite keeper for me. Application was outstanding - great formula despite it's age, flowed evenly with no streaking or dragging, and built nicely in opacity, all accompanied by that wonderful chemical smell that is characteristic of non-b3f polishes of days gone by. I believe this one is d/c'd, so if you can find it (especially the non-b3f version) do grab it - it's stunning! Enjoy - >^..^<
OPI Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot
OPI's Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot is a beautiful warm hot pink creme form the Spring 2009 South Beach collection. Application was very nice - it was a tad thin, so it took 3 coats for full opacity, but it self-leveled nicely and was streak free. This one is a warmer pink than Indi-a Mood For Love that I posted recently (that one has a more blue-ish base), but it is just lovely! Perfect for spring / summer. Enjoy - >^..^<
FP Psychedelic Hue over Zoya Evvie
This is a lovely combination - green / blue flakies over a beautiful muted midtone dusty evergreen creme. I love Zoya creme's (usually) and this one is no exception - the brush is nice, the formula is thick and creamy, and it was easy to control, building to full opacity in just 2 coats with no streaks or bald spots. I used 1 thick coat of FP Psychedelic Hue over Evvie, dabbing in places to ensure even density. I love the look of this combo - it was perfect eye candy on a dreary weather day! Enjoy - >^..^<

OPI I'm Indi-a Mood For Love
OPI I'm Indi-a Mood For Love is from the Spring 2008 India collection - a superb collection of polishes, IMO, and was I believe the first full collection to be b3f in OPI's line. This is a lovely hot pink creme with purple undertones, and it is so gorgeous! Application was very good - great formula despite it's age (6 years already!), easy to control, and built nicely in opacity. The color is so rich, and with it's strong cool undertones is a little different than your average hot pink. Perfect for spring I'd say! Enjoy - >^..^<

ChG United
ChG United is from a breast cancer awareness collection in 2012. It is a warm pink multicolored glitter, and is fairly opaque at 3 coats, and is a little too dense to use as a topper. Application was good - the formula was nice, easy to control around the cuticle, and was sufficiently opaque at 3 coats. Removal wasn't bad either - for a glitter. :) The color was very nude in tone - a ynnb color but with glitter! Enjoy - >^..^<
