Femme Fatale Cosmetics White Witch Collection & COTM - Swatches & Review


I can't believe that it is already July.  Where is this year going?  Before I know it Christmas decorations will be up in stores.  They do like to bring them out super early here.  Anyway getting side tracked here, today I have a bit of a two in one post.  I have swatches and a review of the Femme Fatale White Witch Collection and the Colour Of The Month polish from June.  Now I am going to apologize in advance for some of my pics.  Brisbane decided to give me some very wintery days so I have had to rely on my lightbox and my cameras flash for some of the pics.


The Purple Parlour (June's COTM) is described as a sheer soft purple crelly with copper shine, sand and magenta highlights and fine hot matte pink flecks.  Super pretty polish and easy to use.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Heart's Desire is described as a rose-coral crelly with green-gold crystal flakies and copper-orange highlights.  I found the formula of this one to be quite thick but it was still easy to work with.  Personally, I am not a fan of this colour at all.  It reminds me of a very mature lady's polish (if you take out the flakies).  I used two coats for my swatch.

 Her Imperial Majesty is described as a soft purple-grey crelly base with pink shimmer and fuchsia highlights.  This is definitely my favorite from the entire collection.  The formula is great and is opaque in two coats.

Hundred Years Winter is described as a muted rose-marsala creme with a turquoise blue sheen.  Formula was easy to use and required two coats to be opaque.

Lantern Waste is described as a sheer navy base with red overlay and red-gold-green flakies.  Again the formula is easy to work with and is opaque in two coats.

Lion's Breath is described as a clear (when warm) to brown (when cold) thermal with golden microglitters and reflecks.  Now this polish is very sheer in colour.  I used three coats but there is still a slight visible nail line so I could probably do with a forth.  I wouldn't wear this polish if I had longer nails as it would become too thick and wouldn't look good at all.

Moonlight Statues is described as a berry jelly base with blue overlay, and silver microglitters.  I quite like this one.  It's not my favourite but I do like it.  I used two coats for my swatch, but I would recommend three coats if you have longer nails as there is a slight visible nail line which isn't too obvious on my short nails.

The First Northern Witch is described as a sheer grey crelly with sand and silver reflecks and copper shimmer.  Another pretty polish with great formula.  I used two coats for my swatch.

The Secret Of Secrets is described as a is a sheer grey crelly with strong copper overlay, copper to olive metallic flakies and orange microglitters.  It's quite an interest polish and easy to use.  I use two coats for my swatch but would recommend three coats if you have longer nails as you will have a visible nail line with two coats.

Surprisingly, I am not overly excited about this collection.  I love Her Imperial Majesty and think a couple of others are pretty but they aren't ones that I would jump up and down about.  What do you think?  Do you like this collection?
