Femme Fatale Cosmetics April 2015 Releases - Swatch & Review


I can't believe it's nearly the end of May and I am only just getting around to posting the April releases from Femme Fatale.   Ahhhh!! I blame moving and a lack of sunshine when I was in Melbourne.  I did manage to post the Colour Of The Month back in April (you can see that post here) so that was a good start.  Anyway today I am sharing the seven other polishes that were released in April.  These polishes are loosely inspired by Brother's Grimm Snow White.

Art Of Witchcraft is described as a teal jelly with red shimmer, teal and maroon microglitters plus more!  This polish applied easily and only required  two coats to be opaque.

Bodice Lace is a rich bright purple with fuchsia microglitter, pink shimmer and multicoloured metallic flakies.  This polish screams my name.  I absolutely love it and the formula is great too.  I used two coats for my swatches.

Glass Coffin is a thermal polish with a green shine.  This polishes changes from purple (in its cool state) to blue (in warm start).  The formula was easy to use and requires three coats to be opaque.

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall is a seafoam blue with a strong pink shimmer and silver holographic microglitters.  Again, formula is super easy to use and only requires two coats to be opaque.

Poisoned Apple is a washed out dark teal-green with red overlay and silver sparks.  The formula is easy to use and only requires to be two coats to be opaque.

Weed In Her Heart is a sheer teal-green jelly with vibrant purple shimmers.  I used four coats for my swatch and find that there is a slight visible nail line, so next time I would definitely use a base colour.  The formula is easy to use.

Who Is The Fairest Of Them All? is the other thermal polish from this release.  This polish changes from pink (in its cold state) to purple (in its warm state) and has a strong blue shimmer and silver holographic microglitters.  The formula is easy to use and requires three coats to be opaque.

I like this collection, the colours are all beautiful, although I feel like there wasn't a huge colour range.  My favorites are definitely Bodice Lace, Mirror Mirror and Who Is The Fairest Of Them All?.

Like with all Femme Fatale releases I am not sure if any of these polishes will be making a comeback (or if they are still available by any of the stockists). You can find the list of stockists on the Femme Fatale site and you can keep up to date with all pre sales via their facebook group.

  1. Beautiful swatches! I especially like the thermals. Very unusual colours. Are you having more success with the sun and holo shots now? :)
