I purchased Finger Paints Nail Polish in "Hue Left a Message" (pink glitter) and "Guggen I'm Lime" (green) on Clearance at Sally Beauty Supply for $1.99 each (Original Price- $4.99). The color range available is fairly expansive.
I used the lime solid on a friend. The polish was a tad on the watery side, but went on smoothly and covered in 2 coats. I followed it up with a light brushing of another brand glittery polish and my "Tough Coat" clear top coat as usual. The color looked very nice and was smooth and streak-free when dry.
The polish did not chip at all, but even worse, the color peeled off friend's pinky toe the following day in one solid piece, followed by the pinky finger a few hours later! We were both pretty disappointed. I guess you get what you pay for, perhaps that is exactly why they were on clearance...
Bottom Line: Ok for short term use (a one evening event with little wear and tear on the nails) but definitely not recommended for long term, daily use.

Finger Paints Nail Polish - REVIEW
Sinful Colors Nail Polish - REVIEW
I purchased two bottles of Sinful Colors Nail Polish from Walgreens at $1.99 each in colors "Fusion Neon" (pink) and "Nail Junkie" (green/blue glitter). There was a very large color selection, including many fun neon colors and glitters perfect for top coating solids.
I used the pink on myself and used the glittery color over green on a friend. Firstly, the polish is a little on the "watery side" and goes on somewhat streaky. For the glitter overlay on another color, that was completely fine, but as a solo lacquer, it took 3 coats to completely cover, and the dried result was still a tad streaked when viewed closely. I put one coat of "Tough Coat" on top (I always use this product consistantly).
Several hours after using the polish, I was very disappointed to discover that the tips of my nails had already begun to wear after my shower. Three days in, the tips and side edges are visibly chipped, and will have to be redone today.
Bottom line: Good choice for a one evening event if you're looking for an obscure or fun color you may only use a few times, but would not recommend this polish for a daily, extended use product.
