Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Melancholia' & Fun Lacquer 'Superstar' Swatch & Review

Hello!

Today I have Femme Fatale 'Melancholia' & Fun Lacquer 'Superstar' to show you.





Femme Fatale 'Melancholia' is a Color4Nails Store exclusive. It's a beautiful olive green polish with strong copper shimmer and an assortment of autumnal hued glitter with larger burgundy hex glitters. I just adore the various elements of this polish and combined they create this stunning celebration of the changing of the seasons from summer to autumn. This was two easy coats and the formula is flawless!





For my accent nail I used Fun Lacquer 'Superstar'. This is a gorgeous burgundy holo microglitter polish with accents of gold microglitter. It is stunning and a one coater! Formula was flawless as well and it went with the burgundy in 'Melancholia' perfectly. I topped it all off with HK Girl Top Coat.





I love these polishes together and these nails really put me in the mood for autumn. 'Melancholia' was actually inspired by the autumnal colour inspirations from the fans in the Color4Nails group on Facebook. Sophie did an amazing job with them as always!

Nail Mail Monday

Hello!

Today I've got a few weeks worth of Nail Mail to show you!

First up is my order from Nail Polish Direct! I picked up THAT China Glaze and some A England's I'd been after for a while.


I've had so much mail from Rainbow Connection UK! (The Native War Paints, LE Emily de Molly & Femme Fatale I picked up from a destash)



From Left to Right is China Glaze 'Pearl Jammin'', A England 'In Robe & Crown', 'Let Me In' & 'Natasha's Dance', Colors By Llarowe November POTM 'Turning Leaves', Picture Polish 'Holo On Top' & 'Sisters' & Native War Paints 'Ugly Sweater Party'.

I've also brought a Light Box this week and these are the first pictures I've used it for. I think it's going to take me a while to find an angle and lighting set up I like but it's a big improvement on the dull lighting we are getting in the UK at the moment from the constant rain and dark mornings & nights! Any tips are much appreciated!




From Left to Right is Emily de Molly 'Before the Storm', 'From Out of Nowhere', 'Gazing Upwards', 'Melt Down', 'Sweet Jumps', 'All the Feelings', 'Emmy' & 'LE43', ILNP 'La Catedral', Femme Fatale 'Two Days Wrong' & Emily de Molly Stamping Polish 'Pink/Orange Duochrome'.

Last week it was my birthday and I asked for a big Picture Polish Haul as a present! All from Rainbow Connection!





From Left to Right is Picture Polish '2001', 'Alice', 'Chance', 'Copperfield', 'Holosphere', 'Meow', 'Merge', 'Mishap', 'Orchid', 'Remember', 'Salt Water', 'Spring', 'Story', 'Sunflower' & 'Trouble'.

I also picked up from Rainbow Connection UK this gorgeous Bundle Monster Stamping Plate Holder. It's currently holding my Bundle Monster, Emily de Molly XL, Sugar Bubbles, Delush Polish, Creative Shop & Hehe XL Stamping Plates! (Note - The older Hehe Superhero Stamping Plates are a bit wider and didn't fit)

Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Empyrean Decay' Swatch & Review

Hello!

Today I've got the stunning Femme Fatale 'Empyrean Decay' to show you. Lots of pictures ahead!






'Empyrean Decay' is a limited edition Oops Shade from July from Femme Fatale. It's a stunning olive green to purple pink multichrome with holo microglitter.






This was three very easy coats, the formula was fantastic. As well as the multichrome effect it's also a bit metallic at some of the olive green angles.I topped it with HK Girl Top Coat.





I loved this polish. It was so shifty and the holo microglitter made it really sparkle in the sunshine.
