Cupcake Polish The Olympics Collection: Swatches & Review

Hi guys!

I know I promised you these swatches to be up last week but life got in the way.

This is Cupcake Polish The Olympics Collection that was made for the Summer Olympics 2016. So yeah, I'm a bit late with this review. It's  a six piece holo collection. I loved the names in this collection they are so clever!
They're all creme holos and they apply beautifully.

Let's take a look.

Row me to the Gold

Row me to the Gold is a golden yellow holo. It's pretty and bright. It's just that I don't like it on myself. I think it's nice in the bottle but when on my nails it just isn't that exciting. This is two coats and top coat.

Pool it Together

Pool it Together is an ocean blue holo. I really like this. The colour is so vibrant and bright. Two coats and top coat.

Not My Vault

Not My Vault is a muted orange. It's not as briht and vibrant as the others and has yellow undertone to it. It's nice but this is the one I like the least in the collection. It's not as vibrant or orange as I'd like it to be. Two coats and top coat.

I'm a Soccer for Green

I'm a Soccer for Green is a bright lime green holo. This my favourite. It's bright, fun and a perfect summer green. I love it. Two coats and top coat.

One in a Brazil-ion

One in a Brazil-ion is a strwberry red holo. This is beautiful. It's that perfect colour between red and pink. Two coats and top coat.

Track Me Down

Track Me Down is a black holo. It's super pretty. As most back holos this leans a little on the charcoal side of black. Two coats and top coat. 

Femme Fatale Birth of Venus Collection: My Picks

Hi there!

Today I have Femme Fatale's latest collection to how you. It's called Birth of Venus. It contains nine different colours. There are holos, shimmers, gitters and even a thermal. All of them weren't my cup of tea, but I bought five of them. Those five are the ones I'll show you today.
This collection is inspired by Botticelli's iconic painting that the collection is named after.

This is a lovely fall collection. The colours are really gorgeous and there's something for everyone in there. The formula of them all were great. I remember when Femme Fatale just had started and the formula of all f the glitters were horrible, thick like glue, and goopy. They've really stepped up their games since then.

All pictures are taken in artificial lighting.

Breath of Zephyros

Breath of Zephyros is a silvery grey holo with prismatic golden glitter and lavender shimmer. This is so pretty. I love how th glitter accentuates the base. This is a polish that's both super glamourous and sort of subtle. I love it.
Two coats and top coat.

Arrival of Venus

Arrival of Venus is a warm, burnt orange holo. This is a perfect fall colour. It reminds me of the leaves changing colours in the autumn. The holo is really strong and gives the polish more depth. 
Two coats and top coat.

Upon Seafoam

Upon Seafoam is a seafoam green with micro silver flakes and pink shimmer. This is so gergoues. It looks really luxurious on the nail. These type of turquoise colours sometimes make my hands look red but the pink shimmer prevents that from happening.
Three coats and top coat.

Isle of Cythera

Isle of Cythera is a grey tinted, forest green holo with golden shimmer. It's dark, vampy and elegant. I think this will be one of my go-to polishes this fall.
Two coats and top coat.

Swept Across the Sea

Swept Across the Sea is a orange to teal thermal with strong green shimmer. The word that came to mind when i wore this is cool. I have nothing in my collection that resembles this. It's unique. This is my favourite from the collection. I like it in both it's warm state, orange, and in it's cool state, teal. The shimmer is very pretty and adds more depth.
Three coats and top coat.

Bear Pawlish Mulbearry Lane

Hello!


Anyone ele that has started to long For fall? I'm in that inbetween Summer and Fall mood. You know, when you don't want Summer to end but really loking forward to Fall. Ys, It's still warm outside but I want fall colours on my nails right now, hence I wore Bear Pawih Mulbearry Lane today.

Mulbearry Lane is a deep purple-ish, wine red holo. The holographic effect is super strong and the colour is realy sexy. I love the colour. It looks more purpe in some lights and in others it looks more win red. A gorgeous fall colour.

The formula is great. It's very pigmented but doesn't stain. The finish becomes shiny and smooth. This is two coats and top coat.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Bear Pawlih Mulbearry Lane and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat. 
 

Smitten Polish Shoe Polish

Hi sweethearts!

Today I'll show you a group custom for a Smitten Polish FB-group. As you may know Smitten is now caled Dreamland Lacquer.

Shoe Polish is a white scattered holo with  opalescent flakies and pink shimmer. It's absolutely gorgeous. It reminds me of snow, winter and ice. It's so beautiful. I'm actually a bit sad that you can't get a hold of this one anymore cause I'd like aback up of it. That's how much I like it. The pink shimmer was super hard for my camera to capture. It's more prominent in real life and in indirect sunlight. These pictures are taken in artificial lighting.

The formula was good. It was a bit thick, but in no way difficult to apply. The first two coats were a bit patchy but a third leveled the finish out. The finish becomes slightly textured so top coat i needed for a smooth finish. This is three coats and top coat.

what you see in the pictures are three coats of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat. 
 

Lilypad Lacquer Rebel at Heart

Hi darlings!


Let's take look at one of my favourite reds, Lilypad Lacquer Rebel at Heart. I can't believe I haven't shown you this one before because I've worn it more times than I can remember.

Rebel at Heart is a deep, deep blood red holo. It's so stunning. It's so vibrant and really vampy. Honestly, your polish collection won't be complete without this one.

The formula is great, a little thin but since it's so pigemented one coat gives full coverage. I did two for more depth.

What you see in the pictures are twoc oats of Lilypad Lacquer Rebel at Heart and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Colors by Llarowe POTM July: I'll be at the Lake

Hi sweethearts!


Today I want to show you Colors by Llarowe I'll be at the Lake. 

I'll be at the Lake is a bright blue metallic with gorgeous turquoise, pink and purple shimmer and a subtle holographic effect. These pictures are taken in artificial lighting, which brings out the beautiful holo effect and turquoise shimmer. In indirect sunlight it looks almost multichrome , shifting between blue, pink and purple.
I found it to be a tad sheer. This is three coats and top coat. Otherwise the formula is great. I'ts completely self leveling and in no way streaky.

What you see in the pictures are three coats of Color by LLarowe I'll be at the Lake and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.
