FingerPaints Rock My World 2014 Collection Swatches

Hello my fellow polish enthusiasts, I am back with another "rockin'" collection, this time from my favorite pro underdog, Finger Paints: Rock My World.  Through the month of February, Sally's is running a BOGO free special on ALL Finger Paints.  You guys... I'm addicted.  They have added SO many new shades to their core line, I have spent countless hours looking through them trying to make up my mind about how many I actually *need*... but who am I kidding, I need them all! #firstworldproblem

I should clarify there is a catch to the sale: it is limited to one free bottle per transaction on their system, but not in the promotion.  What does this mean?  Well, at the first location (where I bought Rock My World) it meant two transactions back to back; at the second (where I got the new flakies!) the person ringing me up did a price over-ride and still rang me up BOGO free for the entire Kaleidoscope collection, which I will share in my next post.  So just a heads up, be prepared for some possible confusion at the register.

Anyways, back to today's pretties!  My friends, I present you the newest FingerPaints Collection: Rock My World!

Rock My World by FingerPaints

I saw the Rock My World display at my local Sally's and bought it thinking they would be regular metallics, because there was nothing about them online that I could find.  They are definitely metallics, but they are also textured!  You guys know I love textured polishes, I was so wrong, so right! ;) On their FB page, Finger Paints advises to skip the topcoat to maximize the texture effect, so I did this once!



The first color in this collection is Rockin Gunmetal, a metallic textured silver.

I like the texture they gave these polishes, it reminds me of the ones Sally Hansen has on the Sugar Coat line... it's a really fine grainy texture.

The second shade I have to share with you today is Pretty Tough Pink, a textured metallic rose pink.

 The formula on all of these polishes was very consistent, I am wearing two coats for all swatches in today's post.

Next up is Rock Hard Lilac, a textured metallic periwinkle blue.

 I had My camera had a tough time capturing this particular shade, on my nails the color does lean slightly more purple but I don't think I would go as far as calling it lilac because it is overall dominantly blue.

Last but certainly not least, I have Stone Cold Pewter.

Okay guys, it's confession time:  I have no idea what makes a color pewter in the nail polish arena.  I googled it, and the results confuse me, so... keep that in mind.  I find Stone Cold Pewter to be a textured metallic silver with hints of olive, if it make sense.

Okay, it's a textured metallic pewter, let's keep it simple.  Yo Finger Paints, baby... I trust your naming! ;)


So, final thoughts on this collection.  I really like it.  I am really impressed with FingerPaints, they just revamped the entire brand and along with upgrading their core line, they renewed their logo and brushes.  The new brushes are wider and allow for better control and more even distribution of the polish.  In terms of the concept of metallic textured, I think Finger Paints got it right where China Glaze and their Crinkled collection went wrong.  The finish on Rock My World is textured but tidy, where the bars in the CG's Crinkled seemed like overkill, and it's what ultimately turned me off that one.  So all and all, I am extremely happy I purchased these and will be back for (with!) some more!
