First Impressions - FingerPaints Smooth Over Ridge Filler + Grab It! Base Coat

*Press Sample*

Hey, guys!  Today I've got a couple of new products to show you from FingerPaints.  These items were kindly sent for me to review.  When I was initially contacted about these products, I was particularly interested in one item: Smooth Over Ridge Filler.  I haven't invested in a ridge-filling base coat because not all of my nails have ridges, but I do have one very prominent ridge that was caused by a nailbed trauma I suffered at the proverbial hands of a swingset chain while babysitting in my late teens.  Warning: the remainder of this introductory blurb is somewhat graphic and may cause unpleasant mental imagery, so please skip the italicized portion if you are sensitive to that sort of thing.  One of the kids ran out in front of me while I was swinging with the other kid, and in I dug my toes into the sand in order to avoid hitting him.  I had simultaneously tightened my grip on the chain - which resulted in my finger getting caught in one of the links - and it got a pretty good yank as I slid off of the swing and to the ground.  A bit of my cuticle ripped, and a small portion of my nail grew out black.  Ever since that incident, my nail has had the gnarly ridge you see below.

Hello, everybody!  I hope you guys enjoyed the Valentine-themed posts last week.  We're going to start this week on a very picture-heavy note because FingerPaints generously provided me with samples of the Picnic in the Park collection to share with you!  This is the nail mail I posted about late Tuesday night last week, and let me tell you, it was incredibly hard for me not to forgo the Valentine theme and post them sooner.  Click through to see all the swatches!

FingerPaints Van Gogh's Violet Swatches

Hellooooo!  Today I have another FingerPaints polish to show you.  I picked this up a while back...  At the same time as I picked up Amethyst Accent, actually, because FingerPaints was on sale at Sally and I hadn't tried them before.  It's a fun glitter topper in the same shade of purple as Amethyst Accent, so I decided to use them together for this look!
