First Look – FingerPaints “A Pair Affair” by All Lacquered Up
Today I’m thrilled to share with you a first look at the nail polish collection I created for Sally Beauty, FingerPaints “A Pair Affair” by All Lacquered Up. Three duos of on-trend shades for multi-colored manicures, manicure-pedicure combos, and nail art.
I shared that the collection would include a green, a glass-fleck sage to be exact, partnered with a glass-fleck purple (more of a blurple). Well now you can see that the other duos consist of a sparkly teal with a glittering sand and a sultry, smoky blue shimmer with a rainbow glitter-packed coral jelly.
Color names (clockwise from top): Our Tips Are Tealed (teal), Bare No Secrets (sand), Sarong So Right (coral), You Yacht To Know Better (blue), Sage It Ain’t So (green), A Grape Catch (purple).
I’m so truly proud of how the collection turned out and I can’t wait to show you swatches and my favorite ways to wear the duos.
Thank you everyone for your supportive comments and tweets. It makes me even more excited to know that you are all along for this ride and cheering me on. You are the best!
The FingerPaints A Pair Affair by All Lacquered Up collection will launch in September 2013. FingerPaints nail polishes retail for $5.29/ea.
First thoughts on the collection? Which colors are you most looking forward to seeing swatched?

Our Tips are Tealed.
Graet call! Not to pick favorites or anything, but I REALLY love that one.
These look gorgeous! Looking forward to meeting you tonight! =)
Thanks Emily! Me too!
I can’t wait to try Sarong So Right and A Grape Catch!
Thanks! I hope you love them as much as I do.
They all look really cool! I can’t wait to see the combo of the teal and sand…and the coral and blue! Congrats on this opportunity!
Thank you Regina! I love the sand. I find it’s a really wearable version of tan that flatters a lot of skin tones.
The name “Sarong So Right” made me laugh like a hyena, so good job. Excited to see Our Tips Are Tealed, and looking forward to swatches!
I’m so glad you like it. I wanted the names to be fun.
I love a grape catch
It’s even better in person.
These pairings are so pretty! I wish I had the orange/blue pair when I was in high school…those were our school colors!
If I were to choose one pair, I most want to try the green/purple duo
A girl after my own heart. I love the purple and green together.
My first thought was just based off seeing the image on your facebook post…”aw crud, I’m going to have to have all of those.” I love the pairing of the colors, the teal and sand combo is my favorite. I thought I had enough teal polishes, but Our Tips are Tealed is a must have.
Haha, thanks Becky. Apologize to your wallet for me. And you can never have enough teals
I love the nude and emerald. Very gorgeous!
Thank you so much April!
Great collection of colors, nice job!
Thank you Jackie!
The teal, purple and tan are must have shades to me
Thank you! I hope you enjoy them
Congrats on the collection and partnership with Sallys. Can’t wait to get A Grape Catch and Bare No Secrets.
Thank you Cori! I love the finish on A Grape Catch. The picture doesn’t really convey the sparkle level of it or Bare No Secrets.
You yacht to know better is a perfect blue!! Congrats on the collection
Thank you Nadine! It took a lot of work to get that shade of blue correct. It was so worth the effort.
Our Tips are Sealed and Bare No Secrets are going to be mine!
I have a feeling Our Tips Are Tealed will be the favorite of many.
Hi Kelly,
Congrats on the collection! It’s so beautiful, I can’t wait to see the swatches and how they’re paired up. I particularly like the dark colors (teal, blue, sage), but the sand looks tempting too. You should be so proud of yourself, this is a truly spectacular accomplishment and I hope you get to fully enjoy it!
My name is Michelle, not Kelly, but thank you for the congratulations.
Coral/blue! Teal/sand! Green/purple! You expect me to be able to choose here? No way, I’m most looking forward to seeing all of them!
Ha, thanks Rach! I’m so glad you like them all.
I’m very excited! How cool! I can’t wait to see these 2 swatched: Sarong So Right (coral) & You Yacht To Know Better (blue). I think they are a great color combination! P.S. Did you come up with these polish names, or did Sally Beauty?
Thank you! I gathered some highly creative friends and a few bottles of wine to come up with the names.
So pretty! Great work coming up with these gorgeous looking colors
Thank you Tori! It was a really fun process.
I’m in love with most of these colors…to the point I’ve already budgeted their purchase in for September. Great, great job with the colors and finishes! Curious though: are they coming packaged in sets of two in the color combinations showed? If yes, is there a way to pick which two colors we want together or even buy them separately? If there is no other option than to buy them as pairs, what will they cost (as you said, they’re usually around $5.29/bottle)? Thank you, Delphi
Hi Delphi! I’m so glad you like them. I created the collection as duos but they will be sold individually. While I envisioned them being worn together, you have the option to just buy one shade.
Wonderful! Thanks for the reply and congratulations again!
Great names. Is the price $5.29 for the pair or for each?
That’s the price per polish. They aren’t sold as duos, just created to be worn together.
I love the names of these polishes! So cute!
My favorite pair is the sand and teal, but they’re all really pretty.
Thanks Sharon!
I am on my way to Sally’s! I love them all.
You have to wait til September but I promise it will be worth the wait.
I want them ALL! But I really Love Bare no Secrets and sarong so right and grape catch and They look AMAZING and Congrats!
Kinda Perfect for late summer, early fall!
I hope to go buy them when they come out!
Xoxo
Thanks Pam! They aren’t really attached to a season but you make a great point. They are great transitional shades.
I love them all and must have them all. I just can’t pick a fave but Sarong so Right really caught my eye. All the names are just adorable! Perfect perfect collection and I already know the quality of Finger Paints so I know application will be a dream. Can’t wait to get them.
Thanks! I had help from friends in naming the colors and I’m glad you like them.
Lovely duos! I will need to see them in-person (of course), but I am prepared to go nuts over Our Tips Are Tealed and Bare No Secrets!
Go nuts!! They look gorgeous together.
A Grape Catch! Sally Hansen is the only other brand of not Essie/OPI/Indy polish that I will buy!
Thanks! Though the brand is FingerPaints sold at Sally Beauty stores. People often confuse Sally Beauty and Sally Hansen.
NO, I wasn’t confused. Just saying it’s normally the only other brand I buy that buy.
However, I am learning to branch out a bit. Just been sorely disappointed and burned!
Oh cool. I’ve had a few of my friends get confused between Sally Hansen and Sally Beauty so I just wanted to make sure.
I’m absolutely in love with the teal and the blue. But seeing as half my collection is blue and green, that’s hardly surprising! Thanks for all your hard work in making these polishes. They are all so beautiful.
Thank you! Obviously we have very similar taste as I have two Helmers filled with blue, teal & green.
These all look amazing! I don’t own any FingerPaints, but I might have to look into these at my SallyBeauty when they come out.
Thanks! You should definitely check out the brand, in general. They have a diverse color range and great formula.
You came up with a really beautiful collection. That blue and orange are to die for! I hope you come out with another collection. Best wishes!
Thank you! I would love to as well.
Wow! They are all so gorgeous and totally “me” colors. Congrats! I will be keeping an eye out for these for sure.
Thank you Rebecca!
I really love that they’re all shimmers/glass flecked!! I’m not so big on cremes!
I love a rich, glossy creme but shimmers and glitters are always more fun.
I’m so excited about the glass flecks! It’s (one of) my favorite finish(es). how exciting! I’ll be stalking my Sally’s!
Thank you!
