Hello lovelies,

I've got here some Femme Fatale minis I want to show you. Femme Fatale is and Australian indie brand with international stocklists. Today's polishes are all beautiful holographic shades and some of them are even on sale right now! Here they are:

Femme Fatale Steamy Romance - berry pink holographic shade. This rich and stunning colour is jam packed with holo particles. The formula is really nice and easy to apply and pigmentation is also good. I've applied two regular coats and topcoat.

Femme Fatale Gentlemen’s Scuffle - dusty teal holographic shade. Another beautiful shade with great formula - how do you do that!? All I needed were two coats for perfect coverage and the polish applied so easily. I've applied topcoat but polish itself dries smooth and quite glossy.

Femme Fatale Midnight Haze - eggplant purple holographic shade. Why are you doing this to me FF? I can't just say 'beautiful' and 'stunning' to every shade you send me! But this is yet another one! Minight Haze would be perfect for winter as it's rich and dark. I've applied two coats and topcoat again. It applied nicely and dried fast.

Femme Fatale Mr Pinchy - peachy pink holographic shade. I wouldn't necessarily reach out for colour like this but it looks nice and subtle for me. Definitely an office friendly shade. It applied easily but it was a bit sheerer so I've applied two thicker coats.

I'm definitely loving the colours and formulas of these, I am yet to come across a bad FF polish. If you would like to see some past swatches of Femme Fatale polishes, you can find them here.

Femme Fatale is available at their website and at their various international stocklists.

Which one is your favourite? Do you already own some Femme Fatale polishes?

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Have you heard f the new Barry M Matte colours for this summer season? Well I have swatches of all six shades right here! The Summer Matte Collection is being released right now and the colours are just like from a carnival - bold, bright and fun!

Miami - medium flamingo pink. Miami is not as bright as the other shades in this collection but it's still very summery. I've applied two thicker coats to get full coverage.

Rhossili - magenta shade. It might look a bit more blue-based in the pictures but it's a beautiful magenta colour. It applied well and the pigmentation was good too. Two coats were enough for perfect coverage.

Copacabana - bright tomato red. The formula was nice to apply and highly pigmented so I'd advise to double-up on base coat to prevent staining. I needed two regular coats for full coverage.

Waikiki - light lime green? yellow green? It's certainly quite a unique shade. It applied well but the pigmentation was slightly lower so I've applied two thick coats or three thin coats would do too.

Cancun - bright teal with strong green undertones. Cancun looks a bit too blue in my pictures but it just wasn't possible to capture the true colour. Definitely expect more green-ish teal. It applied well and I needed two regular coats for full coverage.

Malibu - bright blue. Malibu is one of my favourite colours from this collection. It's bold, it's gorgeous and well-pigmented. I've applied two regular coats.

Barry M is also releasing a Matte Topcoat. As you can see in the pictures above, I have applied the Matte Topcoat to each polish to show you the effect. The Matte Topcoat creates nice matte finish without any white spots.

It is clear to me that the finish of all the polish is not very matte but rather satin or rubbery so if you want truly matte finish apply the Matte Topcoat. You can also have them in nice and glossy finish, just use topcoat.

Overall, I love the colours and my favourites are Malibu, Rhosilli and the crazy Waikiki. I would have loved them even more if the finish would be properly matte but I don't mind that much to be honest.

This collection is available now at Superdrug, and from 11th June at Boots and on Barry M website.

Here are some new Barry M releases:

Hope you've enjoyed this collection and let me know which one is YOUR favourite! Have a nice day! Lucie x
