Red foil over Pretty Serious

So, while I did wear Pretty Serious Santas Sunburn for this mani, you actually cannot see it at all. I wanted something a little bit more bling for Christmas lunch, so I decided on foils.

I don't do foils often enough, I used to have issues with the topcoat dulling them but now I have Picture Polish Revolution. This stuff is amazing for foils, it doesn't dull them and they can easily last days.

Red Foil - direct sunlight

DETAILS

Nail foils can be purchased from many places, I got mine from eBay
Coats to opacity - Two
Topcoat - 2 coats of Revolution from Picture Polish

Until next time.....

Enchanted Polish - Entwined

Its not too often I come across a polish that I absolutely love enough to wear by itself but this beauty definitely was one of them.
I happily wore this for 3 days which is a long time for me.

Shown is two coats of Entwined with one of Seche Vite. I don't have a huge amount to say about this except that it is beautiful and I feel like I need another bottle!

Purchased from - Enchanted Polish

Born Pretty stamping plate BP-L003

Today I am showing you some stamping I did early last week with one of my latest Born Pretty stamping plates.

BP-L003

I started off with a 2 coats of a new colour that has not been released yet. ( coming in the December collection ) I then attempted to create a gradient stamp using my black and my white stamping polishes. I simply scraped across the plate a few times until I got the desired colour blend, then picked the image up on my stamper.

BP-L003

This Born Pretty plate stamped really well and has some beautiful images on it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Born Pretty can be purchased from - Born Pretty
Would I buy again - Yes
Stamping polish can be purchased from - Emily de Molly or at one of my stockists

Until next time.....

Femme Fatale Cosmetics, November Dune collection

Today I have a very special post for you. Femme Fatale Cosmetics has long been one of my absolute favourite indie brands, in fact, it was the first indie brand I purchased.

When Sophie asked if I would be interested in swatching her latest collection, I was beyond ecstatic, I think I had my own little fangirl moment :)

So without further ado, here is the next collection by Femme Fatale.
I apologise in advance but this is extremely pic heavy, you have been warned!

First up we have Blue-Within-Blue Eyes
This is a gorgeous bright blue to light blue thermal with colour shifting flakes and a strong purple shimmer.
I wore three coats for these swatches.
