SWATCH - Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Fields of Treasure' and 'Heavenly Rainment'

Today I have swatches of two older polishes from Femme Fatale Cosmetics, Fields of Treasure and Heavenly Raiment (more images after the jump)! I'm hoping doing quick posts like this prompt me to update more frequently.

FEATURE: Krystal aka QueenofNails83 and her Women of Color makers / bloggers project

Today I am cross-posting / linking to a project run by the amazing Krystal Moore at QueenOfNails83. Krystal is a blogger and swatcher and one of the first WOC I found when I started getting into indie polish. Like with any area of interest for me, I take a special interest in supporting other POC and their endeavours when possible.

All images in this post will be taken from Krystal's blog and will link to the relevant post if you click on them!

NAIL ART - Spooky Sailor

Just a quick post of some nail art I forgot I did. The polish I was wearing made me think of ocean waves under moonlight. When thinking of glinting bits (okay that sounds a bit suspicious) and rolling waves, my brain conjures up haunted ships and unyieling fog. I decided to go with a spooky nautical / ghost pirate theme. Yes, really. More photos and details post-jump.

SWATCH - SM Polish (Part 2 of 2)

Today I bring to you the second half of my SM Polish Haul. If you missed Part 1 (where I spoke about the polish formulas in general), you can find it here. Shopping links will be at the bottom, like before. I've also started adding watermarks to my images so I can have them nice and large without fear of them being stolen. I think it's fairly subtle, anyway.

I will be showing you Envious, Violetta (with nail art), The Emperor's New Clothes, and I Blue Up the Dance Floor in this half. I didn't get to doing photos of Pink Fizz as I'm midst Fibro flare-up, and I wanted to have this up as I've taken long enough. I might add it retrospectively. Anyway, let's get on with it!

SWATCH - SM Polish (Part 1 of 2)

Today I have my very first order from SM Polish to share with you! I ordered 7 polishes (pictured below) and was sent 2 mini bottles with it. I am going to split this swatch / review into 2 posts because of how many pictures I have. 

(Pictured, from L-R) 

Top Row: Envious, Desire, Mum's the Word, First Glow, Sly as a Fox

Bottom Row: Violetta, The Emperor's New Clothes, (Sample) Pink Fizz, (Sample) I Blue Up the Dance Floor

Here is Part 1, Part 2 shall be uploaded shortly. This part shall cover Desire (+ stamping with the 'I Blue Up the Dance Floor' sample), Sly as a Fox, and Mum's the Word.

NAIL ART - Using polishes from AngelKiss Nail Lacquer (Nom Nom Collection)

Hi everyone!

This is an add on to my previous swatch post of polishes from AngelKiss Nail Lacquer (Nom Nom Collection). If you haven't seen that please go have a look to see my swatch pictures and thoughts on this collection.

I am adding some nail art done over and with some of the polishes I swatched. Pictures after the jump!

SWATCH - AngelKiss Nail Lacquer (Nom Nom Collection)

Hello!

I am newly trying to navigate this whole blog thing so please bear with me. Mistakes might be made.

In my inaugural post to this site, I am going to show you some swatches and notes from AngelKiss Nail Lacquer. AngelKiss Nail Lacquer is run by Alba, and I believe was formerly a running indie polish company. At the moment Alba mostly swatches and reviews, and occasionally releases a preorder collection like this one.

This collection is titled the 'Nom Nom' collection and is composed of a collection of six polishes inspired by and named after desserts: Choc Mint, Strawberry Creme Brulee, Mocha Frosting, Coffee Fudge, Cotton Candy, and Sugar Sprinkles. (Note: I know it's Crème Brûlée to the pedantic, but I'm going with how the polish creator wrote it in my review.)

I preordered four of the polishes which can be seen in the bottle shot below:

 

(From L-R) Choc Mint, Strawberry Creme Brulee, Mocha Frosting, and Sugar Sprinkles.

The colours in this photo are as accurate as I could get them to real-life shades. They were shot in a softbox with a speedlight. Individual swatches and some nail art after the jump!
