Femme Fatale Cosmetics Enchanted Fables Collection - Swatches & Review

Today I have the biggest post that I have ever done (and probably will ever do).  Femme Fatale Cosmetics released a twenty two piece collection entitled Enchanted Fables, which also came with a bonus shade for those who purchased the entire collection (yes I was one of those people).  Unfortunately there was a pigment issue and another shade was introduced to replace one of the polishes.  I was lucky enough to receive the original polish and then also purchased the updated shade.  All that being said today's post has twenty four polishes.  As you can imagine this post is very picture heavy but I have tried to keep it to a minimum.  I will also keep my chatting to a minimum too.  Shall we get started?

Alice is a bright light blue crelly packed with super fine golden crystal flakes.  The formula is easy to use, although is quite sheer.  My swatch shows three coats and it is still slightly sheer at the tips.

Ariel is described as a deepsea teal (leaning to either green or blue depending on the lighting) and is overlaid with a glowing pink-red sheen.  Great formula and really pretty.  My swatch shows three coats.

Aurora is a clear (warm) to pink (cold) thermal with strong turquoise shine.  Really pretty in both states and easy to use.  It is quite sheer especially in the warm state.  My swatch shows four coats (and it is still sheer at the tips).

Eilonwy is a rose-mauve with slight purple tones and a strong blue overlay.  This one really surprised me.  I wasn't sure I was going to like it but I really do.  It's easy to use and opaque in three coats.

Eliza is a pink (warm) to brown (cold) thermal with golden overlay.  Now this is the polish that had the pigment issues so only a very limited number where made, which is a shame because it's a really pretty polish in both states.  My swatch shows three coats.

Emeralda is a swamp olive green crelly packed with glimmering pink glass flecks.  The formula is easy to use, however is still slightly see through at tips in direct light.  My swatch shows three coats.

Euna is a lavender purple (warm) to black (cold) thermal with golden overlay.  This is the replacement polish for Eliza.  I quite like this polish in both states.  It's easy to use but still is slightly see through at tips after three coats (shown in my swatch).

Evil Queen is a blue to red multichrome with a scattering of fine silver holo particles.  This polish was exclusively available to those who purchased the full Enchanted Fables Collection via Femme Fatale’s website.  Absolutely stunning in every way.  My swatch shows two coats.

Kida is a clear (warm) to brown (cold) thermal with an overlay of soft blue-purple shift.  This polish is super sheer especially in the warm state.  I found that even after four coats (shown in my swatch) I could still see a visible nail line.

Congratulations if you have made it all the way through this post.  Thanks for hanging in there.  I can't even begin to tell you how much work has gone into this post.  Anyway, there are definitely some really gorgeous polishes in this collection.  My personal favorites are Evil Queen (although it will be very difficult to get hold of now) and Cinderella. 

This collection (with the exception of Evil Queen) is available at various Femme Fatale Stockists.

How do you feel about such massive polish collections?  Personally I think twelve polishes should be maximum.
