Where my fall and winter wardrobe is concerned, no colors dominate my closet more than purple and grey. No matter what the trend may be each year, they remain my staple shades. From my beloved purple Rebecca Minkoff M.A.B. (scored on Gilt) to my kitten-soft grey sweater dress, it’s a color combination that I just can’t quit. That’s why, when I laid eyes on the NARS Fall 2013 color palette for nails, I was hooked!

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.

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may remember seeing pics from my visit to the Sally Beauty Headquarters last June. Well, that’s where it all began. From submitting color concepts, to approving and disapproving over 50 color samples, to brainstorming names and helping design the displays, I’m proud to be able to finally share this exciting news with you all.

The FingerPaints A Pair Affair by All Lacquered Up collection is just as the name suggests, three duos of on-trend shades meant to be used for multi-colored manicures, mani/pedi combos and nail art.

The display image gives away one of the pairs, purple & green (like there wouldn’t be a green!) but I’ll be giving you sneak peek at the full collection in the coming weeks. I hope you love it as much as I do!
