The Ficcare Thread (Formerly "Show me your Ficcare color")

Thanks, Rowie! It was a cellphone shot, so I used Photoshop to bump up the brightness/contrast and to get the colors right.

Oh, at the risk of posting too many times, I forgot to mention that the Lite Blonde Pearlized arrived with a flaw in the finish. I sent a pic to Ficcare and although they didn't answer my email right away, when I called a day or two later, they knew who I was right away and I was able to return the clip for an exchange (the new one's in the pictured group and is perfect). I think that even though the volume of sales has overwhelmed them and their response time isn't what we're used to with other online companies, when they get to your transaction, their customer service is terrific.

Indeed how original! I love your collection too!

Thanks, Serverus - and Turquoise Days and Chen as well.

Gorgeous collection, Willowyn! And oh how I love opal... I think it looks great on everybody I've seen it on so far. And it looks like several of you have gotten the "jet black" one that has sort of silver or grey streaks in it... that one seems really nice. It did not strike me at first but is really growing on me.

I'm watching the lovely multistripe creep up. It is beautiful, though I'm not in the market for it. I wonder what it will end up going for. Already near $80, last time I looked.
I always hope someone in this forum is buying so that I get to see these beauties again, and in action.
It no longer seems odd to buy some of these discontinued things at quite high, even very high prices, since we will never see their like again.

I'm bidding on that, but if it goes much higher, I'm done for.

Good luck! Are you into purples?

**Islandgrrl** · January 3rd, 2014, 06:27 PM

Purple is nice.

What I'm REALLY looking for is the black on gold Lotus.

**rowie** · January 3rd, 2014, 06:31 PM

I thought you would of snagged that and the two tone gold leopard Turquoisedays was offering at the swap board.

I'm just amazed at how I spend a crazy busy day at work and there are pages and pages added to this thread. I'm finally caught up!

Willowyn, you have a beautiful collection, and I like the way it's displayed.

Rowie, you mention liking my storage but having concerns about light and dust. My collection is never exposed to direct sunlight, the way the house sits, it isn't even a possibility. Dust could be an issue, I suppose, but so far it has not been.
