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.

Autumn Nail Art

Hello!

Today I've got these Autumnal Nails to show you.

I used Avon 'Street Beige' as my base for this nail art. This was two easy coats. This is my favourite beige polish, I really like the hint of grey in it and it's part of the Avon speedy dry range so it also dries really quickly. I think this is discontinued now but is probably available through Ebay etc...

I created the design by creating nail decals. I started by stamping the design from my Uber Chic 9-01 plate onto some clear polish on my Uber Mat. I used my black Konad stamping polish and my Fab Ur Nails Jumbo stamper. 

I used a large assortment of Barry M and Models Own cremes to fill in the circles. A lot of them were from the Barry M Gelly Autumn/Winter 2014 release and the Models Own Twilight Hypergel Collection. I used my Models Own Hypergel Top Coat over the top of the design once it had dried to then create the decal. I find this top coat makes strong but flexible decals which makes it easier when applying to the nail. I also used this polish as my base on the Uber Mat,

I applied the decals and then cleaned any overhang up and then topped with HK Girl Top Coat. I really love these nails and am looking forward to the colder months of big jumpers and Christmas polishes!

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

Illyrian Polish 'Fireflies' Swatch & Review

Hello!

Today I have the stunning Illyrian Polish 'Fireflies' to show you.

'Fireflies' is a stunning glitter topper full of iridescent glitters that shift from red, orange, green. blue, purple and pink! I paired it with Models Own 'Utopia' which is a beautiful griege nude polish. This was just two coats topped with one coat of 'Fireflies'. I topped it off with HK Girl Top Coat.

This polish is so so so beautiful. It's like having fireflies and fairies on your nails. I really feel like my pictures did it no justice at all. I'm going to try and put a video up on my Instagram to see if that helps at all. I couldn't stop staring at these!

I got my bottle from Rainbow Connection UK who should be restocking this beauty in the next couple of weeks. This polish really is insane and I can't wait to try it over different bases or even on it's own!

Thanks for visiting,

Have a lovely day,

Emily de Molly 'Pending Perfection' Swatch & Review

Hello!

Today I have an absolute stunner from Emily de Molly to show you.

'Pending Perfection' was part of the Emily de Molly 4 year anniversary trio but is now also available on it's own due to popular demand. And I can see why everyone (including me) wanted to get their hands on this beauty!

'Pending Perfection' is a beautiful bright mint creme polish with red to gold duochrome shimmer. I love how prominent the shimmer is, The formula was great, just be careful when going over a spot as it tended to drag a little, thin coats are best. This was two coats and dried really quickly!

I've accented this mani with some stamping. I've not had a lot of stamping mojo lately but hopefully I'll get it back soon! I used my Uber Chic Beauty 9-02 plate for the super pretty floral design. I stamped with Color Alike 'Mars' Stamping polish and my Fab Ur Nails Jumbo Stamper. 'Mars' really complimented the shimmer in 'Pending Perfection'. Everything worked really well. No stamping struggles here! All topped off with HK Girl top coat.

This really is such a beautiful polish. I love how bright it is and the shimmer is perfect.

Have a lovely day,
