FEMME FATALE FIRE LILY

 and inspired makeup look featuring Ever Burning highlight


Femme Fatale Fire Lily, 3 coats with topcoat. Still a little sheer but beautiful nonetheless. Flakes lay down nicely and are easy to remove.
All photos taken in natural light. This will available along with the rest of the Fire Lily collection via pre-sale on Femme Fatale's site July 1-5 9am AEST and is currently available from several stockists.




This is my coordinating makeup look and hairstyle. I was visting my bff and we attended a formal party. It was so fun getting glammed up together and helping with the other's hairstyle. Well she pretty much did mine, I helped with hers. ;)

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Heavenly on lids and lower lash line, Notoriously Morbid Right Into the Woodchipper in crease, Femme Fatale Cosmetics Ever Burning Highlight inner corner, brow, and cheekbone, Monsters On Mars Blush. Kat Von D Tatoo liner in Mad Max Brown (the only tip that I have found that works with my hooded eyes),Notoriously Morbid Driudess mystic matte. This is much more intense and shifty in person. I was away from home and trying to figure out lighting in a few minutes. My foundation looks terribly patchy. I did some brightening to color correct the photo and I really hope that's why and I didn't actually look like that.




I wanted a viking princess type look and did have a tutorial video. We had to alter it a bit. 2 small french braids above the ears. I slept in a french braid the night before and that provided the texture and waves. 3 tiny braids pulled accross the back to create the shape. I wish i had clear rubber bands and less frizz haha but overall i really like it.


She wanted a braided chignon so I did a dutch braid that acted as a sort of crown. she curled her hair then rolled it up into a loose chignon. I pinned and preened, then added the flower. Isn't it lovely?!  We didn't match on purpose, this has always happened to us, it's quite the phenomenon.

STARLIGHT POLISH MYTHOLOGICAL OPALS


5 opalescent shimmer/flakie combination toppers 
PRESS SAMPLES

 The Mythological Opal collection is five flakie effect toppers that combine aurora flakes (the larger, flake versions of aurora pigments) and colorshifting "unicorn pee" and 'unicorn pee sibling" pigments.  They are truly opalescent and stunning and best of all not limited edition except for the fact that these special shimmers are rare and discontinued. I am thrilled to swatch for the lovely Issa once again and I actually gasped when I unwrapped these. My bottle shot does not do the multi-faceted beauties justice. They are packed with flakies and shimmer. These are a continuation and extension of the current Mythological collections. If you are familiar with those collections you will easily find your favorite creature/ color-shift shimmer (u.p. sibling). I have also taken macro videos and posted them to IG. They are linked here for the most part, I'll edit the final 2 in as I post them.

 This collection will be available in the Starlight and Sparkles etsy shop on June 29th and at stockist Psyche’s Beau on June 30th at 12pm PST for those of you who are international or want to add other brands to your order. 

15ml bottles will be $16.00 usd and 7.5ml bottles are $11.00.
Personally I have no trouble using this size bottle, it feels like a full size in the hand and has a full sized brush so if you are on a budget (or own approximately eleventy billion polishes like me) this is a great option.

All of my photos are taken in natural light and show 1 coat of each topper over various  bases EXCEPT the very last mani which I will describe at the end. Topped with Vapid's topcoat and a matte from Finger Paints.

They were all very easy to use, not too thick or thin, appropriate dry time for ease of use. Flakes lay down nicely and don't require fishing. No trouble with removal, flakes slide right off unlike glitter.


PHOENIX OPAL

Phoenix Opal - an iridescent flake and shimmer topper with red to green shifting aurora flakes (large flake versions of the aurora pigments) and red to green UP pigment, which shifts from red to gold to green, and flashes vivid red and bright green at the extremes of its color range.

OGUP y'all! This is the quintessential pigment that is most known and popular, for good reason. I have used this oval 4 undies and alone. Video here.

Thumb: Phoenix Opal solo
Index: Femme Fatale Cinderella
Middle: Lacquester Don't be Shy
Ring: Defy & Inspire Rock of Love
Pinky:Starlight Phoenix Kyanite






KELPIE OPAL

Kelpie Opal - an iridescent flake and shimmer topper with teal to violet shifting aurora flakes (large flake versions of the aurora pigments) and teal to violet UP sibling pigment, which shifts from teal to violet, and flashes aqua and purple at the extremes of its color range.
The Kelpie shimmer is always one of my favorites and this installment is no different, no small part due to the HUGE flakes present in this topper. Video here.

I have used it solo on the thumb nail and over several Kelpie polishes.
Index: Femme Fatale Eilowny
Middle: Starlight Kelpie Garnet
Ring: Kelpie Dravite
Pinky: Kelpie Night







DRAGON OPAL

Dragon Opal - an iridescent flake and shimmer topper with gold to green shifting aurora flakes (large flake versions of the aurora pigments) and gold to green UP sibling pigment, which shifts from bronze gold to green, and flashes orange and teal at the extremes of its color range

This one surprised me by how much I love it. It's quite opulent yet delicate. I have used it alone on the thumb nail and over:

Index: Different Dimension Not in the Loop
Middle: Illyrian Dazed
Ring: Tonic Edna
Pinky: Starlight Dragon Night

Video here.

UNICORN OPAL

 Unicorn Opal - an iridescent flake and shimmer topper with green to blue shifting aurora flakes (large flake versions of the aurora pigments) and green to blue UP sibling pigment, which shifts from cool green to deep blue, and flashes turquoise and vivid indigo at the extremes of its color range.

I love this most over grey and red but it does show up over the blue better in person. Used solo on the thumb nail and over:

Index: Native War Paints Nude Nikki
Middle: Unicorn Kyanite 
Ring: Cirque Succulent
Pinky: Unicorn Garnet

Video here.






CHIMERA OPAL

Chimera Opal - an iridescent flake and shimmer topper with a blend of the aurora flakes (large flake versions of the aurora pigments) and UP and UP sibling pigments in the other four Mythological Opal toppers.

This one has ALLLL the shimmers! I have used it alone on the thumb nail. Video here.

Index: Femme Fatale Graveborn
Middle: Illyrian Rogue
Ring: Femme Fatale Jupiter
Pinky: Cirque Plush Suede





All the Opals (one coat  each) over Starlight Obsidian. The shimmer base really pops over black and makes it easy to see the differences. I tried to get all my fingers into one shot but sadly my hand doesnt work that way without a third arm so..you get these funky collages. Video here.

thumb: Phoenix Opal
Index: Chimera Opal
Middle: Dragon Opal
Ring: Kelpie Opal
Pinky: Unicorn Opal




Last but not least this is each topper sandwiched between an unknown number of layers of Shleee Strawberry Moon 4.0. I wanted to make it truly opal like so I did a normal amount of coats of each
(approximately 3) and then I didn't like the Shleee on top.  Video here. This goes as follows:

Thumb:Phoenix Opal
Index: Chimera Opal
Middle: Dragon Opal
Ring: Kelpie Opal
Pinky: Unicorn Opal



So will you be picking up any of these? I recommend all of them, haha. #sorrynotsorry

About me

Hello lovely readers and thank you for visiting my fledgling blog!
I found the indie community at a time my Narcolepsy was at its worst. Polish and makeup gave me something fun and low impact to do and pretty to look at. Pretty makes you feel a little better, ya know? Fast forward 3 years and I was frustrated with the lack of polish swatches available in various and natural light sources. I finally decided to try my hand at blogging and am dedicated to providing accurate swatches in as many light sources as possible. Additionally many indie brands do not provide makeup swatches on a persons face which I find very helpful. I currently post my makeup reviews and looks on Instagram but plan to start including them here too. I am not a writer, unless it's poetry so expect my posts to generally be to the point and full of photos. Oh yeah, about me. I am 26, coming up on my 6th wedding anniversary in a few months and am a fur mom to an adorable ferret who sleeps even more than me.

I am not a licensed nail technician or an expert.
I purchase most of these products myself. If a product was sent for review from a brand or person, I will mention it in the blog post. Any products sent for review will have a link pointing to the brand or where to purchase the product. If I receive an item for review it is considered a gift therefore there is not return.
