Femme Fatale Swatches Part 1....

Hello all! 

I hope you are all having a great week so far! I feel like I have not posted in a really long time but it actually wasn't that long ago lol! 

My grandfather has built me even more shelves today so I am in need of more polishes to fill them up! If you all want to see my bits and bobs (behave) Ill be doing a small post on my updated stash soon!

I have two gorgeous polishes from Femme Fatale for you today! There are two more swatches on the way very soon.

Femme Fatale are an artisan cosmetic and nail polish company from Brisbane, Australia. 

They also now stock a wide range of other indie nail brands such as Enchanted and HARE. 

Both of these sets of pics are taken with the flash on as the light in my flat is bloody awful! Dont worry though they are colour correct etc! I wouldnt bring ya duff pics LOL! 

First up is a Sea Pony. A beautiful purple jelly cream (crelly). This polish features many different sizes of hex glitter. 

I used three coats to build this up and you could still kind of see the smile line, only very slightly though. It has a good amount of glitter and the formula is really nice. I have done this with no undies, but I think next time I use it I will try it on top of another colour, just to see what its like. 

Next up I have a beautiful linear holo called Burning Dusk. This is a darkish plum with a blue shimmer. who doesn't love a holo?! This is three thin coats with no topcoat. 

I am totally in love with this shade. it is dark but the blue shimmer really lifts the purple tone up. 

The coverage it really good and the formula is great. This is my fave of these two, I'm a fool for a holo. 

You can view these and other polishes, both by Femme Fatale and others, on their website HERE

Stay tuned for part two coming soon......

*some of these products were sent to me for an HONEST review. The views on this product are COMPLETELY my own.

Confetti Zigzag

I am a massive fan of L'Oreal's Confetti topcoat. I saw it sat on my shelf looking all lonely so I just had to crack it open! One of the things I like most about the Confetti the micro glitter partials, if you squint you may see it! But seriously, in real life, you can see it and I really think it adds too the whole effect.

To do this I used my ole faithful! Neo Whimsical by Essie. I use this polish more than I use any other (maybe on par with BarryM's Matt White)
I find it a great base for doing art and I am a big fan of a nude, oh behave!

I then used some of those fancy scissors to cut this shape out of masking tape. I am "borrowing" these off my Nan and she has lent me about 15 pairs of different shaped ones! She uses them for card making but they work really well for this.

The darker pink is Essie's Cascade Cool. I did try and do the Confetti in a zigzag and it did work, of a fashion, but I wanted to accentuate it so outlined in acrylic paint. The line is not exactly straight so that's a bummer but I am still happy with it.

Its been a while since I have done anything like this and I think I will be doing it more often, its really pretty :)

A design like this works in any colourway but just bare in mind to go from light to dark :)

I hope you like this everyone and please leave me a lil comment below, I love getting comments, its like the excitement I get when I am waiting for the postman!

Cute Lines and Bows Nail Art

First off let me apologize for my very poorly looking fingers. I have rather neglected my hands this week as my hubby has been off work and we have spent the time going out to various places with the kids.... 

Mainly involving dinosaurs LOL

I am really happy today as my new bulb for my lamp came and as it a daylight bulb it works so much better in regards to picture taking. 

As many of you may know I only have time to blog in the late evenings when the babbys are in bed so a good lamp is essential to me. 

Anywho, enough babbling lets get to the nails! 

Today I have a very cute nail art! 

I created this look using 3 Essie polishes..

Avenue Maintain (blue) Go Ginza (light pink) and Bond with Whomever (darker pink)

I used the ole Striping tape to create this look. 

Painting the colours between lines of striping tape using a thin brush, on top of Go Ginza as a base colour. 

Then removing the striping tape whilst the polish is still wet. 

The lines haven't come out as crisp as usual but I still think it looks super pretty. 

The bows are a pearlescent yellow and were sent to me by Sparkly Nails. 

I really like these bows as they are a lot more practical than the massive bows i usually use, plus they are just so cute!

You can purchase these bows and other nail art things HERE
