My very first … Finger Paints is on my nails this weekend.

I was so happy when I got Evergreen Dream as part of the Sally sale haul last month. I never owned any Finger Paints before, and this gorgeous green shade has been a very sought after colour within the brand. What could be better than this?

As I have been switching slowly to darker nail colours, Evergreen Dream fit right in. It’s a beautfiul shimmery dark green, looks really shiny on my nails. I think I can get away without a top coat if I wanted to.

I’d love to have the brush a little wider to work the 3-stroke technique. The polish dried quite quickly which made it harder to do more than 3 strokes on one nail, so we have to be quick with this one.

And then, I read from a few nail blogs that mattified Evergreen Dream is a close dupe of Zoya Veruschka which I don’t have. So I tried it out with China Glaze Matte Magic to see for myself.

I think the colour transferred well into a matte look, and got a little darker. I like the colour matte but prefer the shiny look a bit more. What do you think?

I’m thankful for matte top coats (whatever brands out there), as I could get 2 different looks out of each polish, which means we can double our stash without buying more 🙂

Have a relaxing weekend everyone!
