Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Stone Trinkets' & Powder Perfect 'Thebes'

Hello!

Today I have two stunning polishes to show you!







Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Stone Trinkets' is a polish from the latest sample sale. It's a stunning teal linear holographic with a smattering of copper flakies. The formula was flawless and this was just two super easy coats! 







For my accent nail I used the super sparkly Powder Perfect 'Thebes' to compliment the copper flakies in 'Stone Trinkets'. This was one coat, a sponged coat, and another coat on top. I topped everything off with HK Girl top coat. 







I loved wearing this mani. Teal & copper nails are one of my favourite combos and 'Stone Trinkets' is simply stunning. I was so lucky to add this to my collection!






What are your favourite mani colour combinations?

Have a lovely day,

Picture Polish 'New York' Swatch & Review

Hello!

Today I have the stunning Picture Polish 'New York' to show you.




This is such a unique shade, I don't have anything like it in my vast collection! It's a beautiful Mauve/Pink/Rose polish with added Picture Polish scattered holo. 




'New York' was created in collaboration with Color4Nails. The formula was fantastic and this was just 2 easy coats. I topped it off with HK Girl but it was super shiny without it.




I love the rosy pink in the daylight and the pinky mauve in the shade.

Nail Mail Monday - An Epic Edition!

Hello!

Today I have the biggest Nail Mail Monday Haul yet. When all these polishes arrived in the space of a week and a bit I; for the first time, began thinking that maybe I buy too much nail polish.  (I know, the very thought!) But this only lasted for 10 minutes before I was persuaded by all the pretties before me and how it would have been rude of me to leave them sitting in the store rooms of numerous shops! Make sure your sitting for this and have a bit of time to swoon over these stunners!

First up is my haul from Rainbow Connection UK. About a month ago Annette announced that lots of new brands would be coming to RC and when she said one of them was Illyrian I was sooooo excited. I've lusted after this US based brand for ages; especially their shimmers, and now I could finally make them mine! 




From Left to Right is Illyrian 'Astral', 'Dream Catcher', 'Unearthly Whisper' & 'Winter is Coming'. The Summer Nights Trio 'Blue Moon', 'Dazed' & 'Fireflies' & 'Mad World' August COTM

I also added my first Creative Shop stamping plate to my RC order. Mainly because of The Walking Dead & Game of Thrones images but I'm also excited to try this brand out. The images are all so detailed it will be good to see if they transfer well onto the stamper.

I have discovered a very dangerous thing called a US Postal address. You can set up an account with a company who will give you a US address to ship to and then when you've compiled enough items you can ship them altogether to cut shipping costs. Hello all the polishes I've lusted after for ages plus new US based exclusives!

First up is the Shiro Cosmetics Femme Fatale Cosmetics Exclusives! I also got a couple of eyeshadow samples with my order. Excited to try these!



I also got the new Live Love Polish Femme Fatale Cosmetics exclusives.



From Left to Right is Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Shadow Stair', 'Sorrow Wing', 'Coral Grove' , 'Sea Glimmer', 'Siren Song' & 'Twinkling Eve'.

Also in my parcel was my Emily de Molly haul from the Limited Edition Sale. 



From Left to Right is Emily de Molly LE 33, 35, 37, 38, 39 & 40. 

I also purchased my first Aliquid Lacquer plus some other polishes from destashes, mainly Femme Fatales!





From Left to Right is Aliquid Lacquer 'Mourning Dove', Colors by Llarowe 'The Fallen' & Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Midnight Masquerade', 'Highgarden', 'Lantern Waste', 'Mad as a Hatter', 'Cydonia Glimmer', 'Fire in the Sky', 'Ghostwoven' & 'Snow Globe (Faded)'.

I also received my BeautySoFly Femme Fatale Cosmetics exclusives this week.


My Femme Fatale Cosmetics exclusives from Hypnotic Polish arrived as well much quicker than I expected.

  

From Left to Right is Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Glacier Nether', 'Sky Mirror', 'The Third Moon', 'Castle in the Sky', 'Iolite Streams', 'Labyrinth Gate' & 'Rubine Veil'.

And as if that wasn't enough my Femme Fatale Haul from the September Oops Shade Sale arrived!

I also added some HK Girl Top Coat and a new Sea Salt Hair Spray from Sixteen 92 to my Femme Fatale Cosmetics Order. It smells amazing and I've been using it lots already for a bit of extra volume in my hair and some pretty waves!


Phew! Congratulations if you made it to the end! Hope you enjoyed this Epic Haul! I certainly did!
