Femme Fatale Cosmetics Dune Collection & November 2015 COTM - Swatches & Review

Today I am taking another trip back in time to November last year.  This time I have Femme Fatale's Dune Collection and their Colour of the Month.  The Dune Collection consists of eight polishes which are inspired by the 1965 science fiction novel, Dune by Frank Herbert.  I personally have never read this book so I have no clue what these polishes reference but I do speak polish an that is all that matters.  Let's jump in shall we?

Blue-Within-Blue Eyes is a clear/light blue to bright blue thermal with soft pink shine and iridescent green flakes.  I didn't manage to get any transition pictures of this one and I'm not 100% why.  If my memory serves me correctly, the day I swatched these was boiling hot and no amount of ice was changing this polish to cold long enough for me to take pictures.  Anyway, I think this polish is quiet pretty and it was easy to use.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Genetic Memory is a brown creme with strong purple over and pink to gold chrome flakes.  The formula was easy to use and was opaque in two coats.

Grandfather Of The Desert is a clear based bright gold microglitter packed with holo glitters and glass flakes which shift to blue at an angle.  Personally I didn't notice any shifts at all, but it is still a pretty polish.  It is definitely quite sheer so takes a bit to make opaque.  The formula is easy to work with.  My swatch shows three thick coats.

Lazarou {Collector Of Wives} has a muted mauve base with grey tones and packed full of copper flakes, orange iridescence, copper and rose flecks.  This was November's COTM and is no longer for sale.  The formula was easy to work with.  My swatch shows two coats.

Reverend Mothers is a brick red glass flake filled with silver holo and blue iridescence.  I quite like this one.  The formula is good and easy to use.  It is a little on the sheer side though.  I did two coats all over my nails and then added some extra polish to the tips so there was no visible nail line.

Sandcrawler is a rich copper base with a strong green-gold overlay.  This one surprised me a little.  I honestly didn't think I would like it on my nails.  While I don't love it, I definitely don't hate it.  The formula is great and opaque in two coats.

The Secret Coinage is a clear based microglitter that is primarily a strong copper holo with luminescent copper/red flakes and violet sparks.  This one is quite sheer but really pretty.  My swatch shows three coats, although I could have done with a forth coat.  I think next time I would use a base colour first.

The Weirding Way is a dark brown with strong blue shimmer and iridescence, along with silver holo microglitter.  Again this is another pretty polish with a good formula.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Voice Of The Outer World is a clear to magenta thermal packed with chrome shifting blue flakes and blue iridescence.

While I think there are a couple of nice polishes in this collection, there is nothing that I truly love.  If I had to pick favorites I would say Voice Of The Outer World, Reverend Mothers and Blue-Within-Blue eyes.

I am not sure if any of these shades are still available or if they are all discontinued now.  I'd suggest checking out one of the stockists to see what they have available.
