Fingerpaints Plum Startled...and a startling fact

My startling fact is that in the last 3 months I have bought, for myself, a total of 6 nail polishes.What in the world you may ask. Well I've been doing work for polishes and I've gotten a few surprise polishes but it just hasn't been in the cards for me to do a haul.

BUT when I saw releases for the new Fingerpaints Fall line I about died over the purple, but immediately quelled it figuring I'd never get to a display in time to obtain a bottle so I must not get attached. Then I ran out of acetone. So I had to go to Sallys. There.was.one.bottle.left. It was meant to be!! But you've all seen swatches, and you know I just can't leave a manicure alone ;)
Yes it is that foil-sparkley in real life. I didn't play with my camera to get that. It's direct sunlight, no flash, no editing (except to resize). Unlike other purples of this hue it is NOT a frosty, streaky finish but a smooth as butter deep jelly packed with foils, some of them with blue flashes!
I did a quick stamp over the top using Sally Hansen Pacific Blue and Lacey Lilac and brought the whole thing to life with Color Club topcoat (which is shockingly fast drying, shiny, and doesn't drag my art).

I know several other Fall lines are hitting or have hit the shelves. What shade do you NEED?

    1. Thanks so much! I wasn't so sure when I stamped it at first, but I took a deep breath and put on top coat and my word I was floored. Got a TON of attention too.
