Femme Fatale Swatches

Image
Hi Nail Buddies, Hope you are all having a good week. I have some swatches for you tonight from a brand that is relatively new to me! I actually cant believe I am so late to the party with this brand because there are some stunning polishes. Femme Fatale is a 3 free Australian indie brand and one thing I have noticed is they make some beautiful thermal polishes. I have 4 polishes to show you and they are all Rainbow Connection exclusives - 2 have been released quite recently and the other 2 were from earlier this year. First up is Wine and Dandy -  http://rainbow-connection.co.uk/collections/femme-fatale-cosmetics/products/wine-and-dandy-store-exclusive This is a deep aubergine purple with rainbow glitter particles, it is so sparkly and a great shade going into autumn/winter. Prim and Copper -  http://rainbow-connection.co.uk/collections/femme-fatale-cosmetics/products/prim-and-copper-store-exclusive This is more of a deep mauve shade with a gorgeous gold...

Presenting Picture Polish Alice

Image
Hi Everyone, I have been planning this post for a while now and I wanted to make sure it was perfect and I'm finally happy with what I'm posting today. Several months ago my lovely friend Annette from Rainbow Connection let myself and the Polished Prince Karl into a little secret - she was collaborating with Aussie Indie brand Picture Polish for her own polish. Well I cannot tell you how happy and excited Karl and I were. We were even more excited when we got a sneak peek of the shade a week or so later and OMG she could have designed it for me - it was the ultimate Helen polish!! Well Karl and I somehow managed to keep the most exciting secret until the release and 2 weeks ago Alice was finally revealed and launched to the polish community. Annette's inspiration for this polish was the wonderful Alice in Wonderland and I really think the colour has been captured perfectly. This really is the most vibrant blue with little silver flakies and it is a perfect match...

LE Grace-Full For the Love of Grace Trio

Image
Hi Ladies (and gents) Now this trio I have to show you is an extra special Limited Edition trio created by the lovey Theresa of Grace-Full nail polish. Now a little bit of Grace-Full info for you, it is an amazing Aussie Indie brand and makes some amazing holos, the formula, coverage etc is fantastic and even though I am relatively new to Grace-Full I am a huge fan and recommend to everyone. Most importantly the brand is named after Theresas daughter Grace who sadly was only in this world for 32 1/2 hours. But what an amazing tribute and it makes this brand even more special. Theresa has created this trio called For the Love of Grace in honour of her birthday and she told me she had never been able to make a polish for her before because nothing was perfect enough. But this year Theresa, her husband and son each designed and named a polish in Graces honour. To make them even more special they are LE edition and each store only got 15 numbered bottles. I didn't know this ful...

Grace-Full Christmas Polish haul from Rainbow Connection

Image
Well on this windy miserable Wednesday I have some polishes to show you that I hope will brighten up everyones day. I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to Grace-Full polishes these days, Theresa knows how to make some holotastic polishes and when I saw these Christmas collection polishes on RC I knew I needed some in my collection. I managed to narrow it down to 4 but I'm pretty sure if funds had allowed there would be more. So the swatches - as usual with my swatches they are 2 coats of colour and pictures are taken in my light box, 1 without the flash and 1 with so you can see all the holo gorgeousness. 1st up is Christmas Rose, now these pictures don't do this polish justice because this is the most perfect Rose Gold colour. I am a big fan of Rose Gold and my eye is drawn to jewelry in this colour instantly and finding the perfect Rose Gold polish has been something I have wanted for ages and this ticks every box for me, it is Beautiful, I loved it the moment I p...

Hello all you Lovelies. Sorry I am a day late with this post this week but I was busy yesterday, hopefully its worth the wait. So as you all know I am a huge fan of Indie Brands and I'm always looking for new ones to try and thanks to the lovely Annette from Rainbow Connection I am never short of brands and polished to try! So this week is another new brand for me and also a new brand to RC - I purchased these on the launch night a few weeks ago. It is Aussie Indie Brand Celestial Cosmetics. Firstly I have to say I absolutely love the brands logo and I think that's what drew me to it but I can safely say the polishes don't disappoint. But 1st a little bit about the brand - as I said they are an Aussie Brand and they are 5 free. This is what they say on their website  Picture Credit - www.celestialcosmetics.com.au So these are the 2 I purchased from Rainbow Connection 1st up is Celebrate with NYX - This is a stunning aqua/turquoise linear holo. ...
