Femme Fatale - Gilded Rose: What's going on?!?! I don't wear pink? Or do I?

First this has nothing to do with this polish but I have to let it out.  I HATE when people remove mt watermark!  Someone took a photo of mine, removed the watermark, re-posted it on tumblr either two days ago and now it has 33,000+ notes.  I honestly have no problem with people using my photos just leave the watermark!!! (Oh and it was the 53 layers of polish post :P). On the bright side the 53 layers of polish(The WATERMARKED version) along with some of our other wackier nail art was featured on SHEfinds!  So go and check that out!!!

Now onto my final Femme Fatal polish.  Gilded Rose.  I meant to write this a couple days ago but I wasn't feeling all that swell.  Anyways, as most of you know I don't wear pink polishes.  I saw this in the bottle I though "Pretty, but I don't think it will do anything for me."  I was very wrong!  I ended up wearing this for days.  It rarely matched any of the clothing I owned unless I was wearing black, but I could care less.

Gilded Rose it stuffed to the brim with various glitter.  Tiny lavender and holographic gold pieces, as well as small and medium pink pieces, as well as small gold and holo gold pieces.  There's also stars.  Holo gold stars!  I layered one coat over OPI's Step Right Up! a soft pink shade.  Application was super easy.  The only glitter I placed down myself was the star, because I want it on an exact spot and I didn't want loads of other glitter to start covering it.  And right before I took it off I wanted to see how it looked matte.  *points to bottom of post* Pretty eh? I think I'll layer it over black next time!

Again this is NOTHING like what I would usually wear, but I'm in love with this!  It just seems so right.  Honestly out of all the Femme Fatale polishes I was sent this polish was the one out of all 4 that on my own terms I NEVER would have even glanced at.

If you would like a bottle full size bottles are 12ml and you can find them online at Llarowe (USA), Harlow & Co (Canada),Shoppe Eclecticco & Beauty so Fly (Singapore), Ledouxnuage (France) and Norway Nails (Norway).  They are $13 USD but of course that price will vary slightly depending where you get them. And if you are in Australia you can order straight through them!(NOTE: Their shop is closed atm and will reopen on August 9th.  You'll probably also like to know that they will be having a 2 day sale then too!)

Femme Fatale - Spindleweb: Choosing nail polish undies is EXACTLY like choosing a wedding dress.

You know how they have those TV shows were we get to watch people choose their wedding dress?  And the moment they find their wedding dress they start sobbing. Well when I was trying to figure out what was the best base for Spindleweb was tried 4 different bases, the last one being Barry M Racing Green.  And that's when I understood what it was like to be a future bride... but not really. I saw them together and I thought "This is perfect".  I then wept... but not really. They just played so well together!

Femme Fatales Spindle web is of course a glitter.  It has a green tinted base full of green shimmer.  It is also totally composed of hex glitter ranging from tiny to large. They come in blue, green and lavender(although these pieces only come in tiny). And they range from matte to iridescent.  The formula on this was a tad tricky at first, as it was a bit thick.  But a couple drops of thinner cleared all of that up.  Either way I only ended up having to use 1 coat.  So far this is probably my favourite colour I have tried from them.  It reminds me of a murky but pretty swamp.

Ps.  Don't mind near my cuticles.  The Seche started to shrink the polish :(

Femme Fatale - Planar Anomalies: What are you?!?!?

First off let me start off my saying Happy Birthday Mum!!! Because it's her birthday, but I'm sure you deduced that when I said Happy Birthday Mum.  Of course I am making her dinner tonight, a fish dish with salmon, swordfish, and tuna!  Along with some other yummies!

Now onto the polish. Femme Fatale Planar Anomalies, is quite the anomaly.  On the website it says that this colour is almost impossible to photograph.  I though "Pffffftttttt bring it on, I will capture you one way or another".  It's safe to say my photos show you pieces of this polish but I wasn't able to show you all the pieces together.  I failed you. *Hangs head in shame*.

Planar Anomalies is another glitter polish.  It has a black base that is full of micro shimmer that shifts between green-pink.  It is also full of tiny, small and medium holographic glitter and tiny, small, medium, large and extra large black matter glitter.  Indoors the polish is very unassuming.  It's like one of those people you see and you think, "There's something about you... I don't know what it is.  You're interesting to look at and you're pretty, but I feel like there's something else to you".  Then you see it in the sunlight and you think "You sparkly majestic creature you!".  (That sounded like Twilight, but my review has a much better storyline).  When I took it out in the sun the shift between green and pink was really there.  There was actually a lot of green shimmer going on but for some reason I could not get it on camera as I saw it.  Also another thing that this pictures don't show you is just how holo it was,  it was going super crazy in the sun.  And the black glitter isn't obvious, but you can see it.  It's has this really neat subtle look to it.  I decided to use one coat over my Essence black.  It was easy to put on but could get a bit finicky if you started playing with it.

Overall I really love this.  It is super unique and again like Tricky Treats was super easy to use especially when you see all the glitter in it.

Femme Fatale Tricky Treats: So THIS is glitter.

Of course I know what glitter is.  But up until now glitter to me was lots of circular shiny stuff, or hexagons.  Or sometimes it got really crazy and it was bar glitter, hexagons AND it was black and white.  INTENSE!  That was until I encountered Femme Fatale.  It is clear that up until now I had no idea what glitter really was.

Femme Fatale is an indie brand bases in Brisbane, Australia.  Not only do they make and sell their own cosmetics they also sell other international brands as well as well as national brands!

The first polish I have for you guys is Tricky Treats!  It's a glitter in an orange tinted base.  It contains bar glitter both in orange and holographic gold,  medium orange hex glitter, tiny orange glitter, small purple and red square glitter, tiny pink glitter and finally I don't know how many are in here but I found a single orange heart.   It's a true mélange of shapes and sizes.  And for something that is so jammed packed with glitter I was super pleased with the formula.  I only used one coat over NYC 120A, a purple shimmer(It's old so it has a number rather than a name).  And it applied easier than a lot of more tame glitters I own.  Also a bonus is that it is 3-free!

All in all I really like this and can't wait to wear it around Halloween.  I want to layer it over a squishy purple.  In general I'm not a huge glitter person, but I've slowly found myself liking them more and more!  I'm excited to show you the others I have!

Full size bottles are 12ml and you can find them online at Llarowe (USA), Harlow & Co (Canada),Shoppe Eclecticco & Beauty so Fly (Singapore), Ledouxnuage (France) and Norway Nails (Norway).  They are $13 USD but of course that price will vary slightly depending where you get them.

Do you guys have any Femme Fatale polish?
