Hi my darlings!!! I have a very exciting set of reviews for you, which I'll start today and spread out over the next week! And this is a review of a brand that is so beloved to so many of my followers as well as by me! Yes, I'm talking about Jindie Nails! I've known and chatted with Jen of Jindie for awhile now through my various nail polish interest groups on Facebook and let me tell you, she's a complete sweetheart--always willing to work with her customers and always around to answer questions! I love her interactive nature in both groups and on her Facebook page HERE! She takes the guesswork out of restocks and new collections! =)

That being said, you can imagine how excited I was to receive my review package packed full of goodies from two of her recent collections to share with all of you--Halloween 2013 and Fall Chic! This post I shall focus on the 5 polishes that make up Jindie's Halloween collection!

First up, I have for you Pink Punkin--a super bright neon orange crelly with neon pink stars, hexes and squares, plus added neon pink shimmer! The application and formula on this was just right--not too thick nor too thin, and I didn't have to spend any time fishing for the glitter! The swatches below show 3 easy coats, topped with 1 generous coat of G&G's HK Girl to finish the look. Now, I realized this too late for my own swatches but this polish is also blacklight reactive! Isn't that COOL!?

Next up, I have one of my personal favorites Blood Bath and Beyond--a blood-red jelly with lavender and violet holographic circle glitter, gold and metallic circle glitter in small, medium and large sizes, metallic red circle glitter in small, medium and large, and  holographic moons with purple irisdescent sparkle and a violet/gold shimmer! Whew! Quite a mouthful but the results are absolutely stunning! No issues with application or formula and even the large circles came out easily! The swatches below show 3 easy coats, topped with 1 generous coat of G&G's HK Girl to bring it all together. I'm so in love with this polish and ALL. THE. CIRCLE. GLITTER.








With flash!








Third in this collection is Ghosts of Candy Corn Past--a creamy white crelly with neon orange, neon yellow and white hexes and squares plus black circle glitter and squares. Again, no issues at all with formula or application--Jen sure does know her crellies! The swatches below show 3 easy coats, topped with 1 generous coat of G&G's HK Girl to smooth it all down. I love the name of this polish, it so made me laugh and guess what? The neon glitters are blacklight reactive! You can see some of this effect below, even though black light FREAKS my camera out! Lol!

Under UV light!




Next up, I have for you Be-wear the Polish--a clear glitter topcoat PACKED full of green, black, pink, white and gray glitters in various shapes and sizes, including, circles, stars and moons! The formula and application was fabulous with this polish--NO fishing needed! The swatches below show 1 coat over 2 coats of OPI What's With The Cattitude on the index finger, 2 coats of OPI I Don't Give A Rotterdam on the middle finger, 2 coats of OPI Funky Dunkey on the Ring Finger and 2 coats of Revlon Royale on the pinky finger respectively, with 1 generous coat of G&G's HK Girl to finish the look of this skittles mani! =) Also, I didn't manage to get a shot of this, but the neon glitters in this polish is ALSO blacklight reactive! YAY!






With flash!








And last but not the least, another one of my favorites There are no Seasons in Indie--a gorgeous yellow crelly with neon pink, neon purple, neon orange, magenta, lilac matte and metallic glitters in circles and squares, plus added shimmer! SO. MUCH. WONDERFUL. CIRCLE. GLITTER. No complaints with the application or formula and even the large circles came out with ease. The swatches below show 3 easy coats, topped with 1 generous coat of G&G's HK Girl to finish the look. LOVE this so hard!








With flash!








So there you have it, my darlings! The entire Jindie Halloween 2013 collection! And the best part? They are all ON SALE, except for Be-wear the Polish which is sold out, on Jindie's website HERE for the FAB price of $7.00 for a full-size, 15 mL bottle! But wait!

Hi, my darlings!!! So I have one more post for you guys today and this one is equally exciting! I've just finished my first set of swatches to be able to do my first ever review for Femme Fatale Cosmetics!! Now if you've been following me closely, you have realized by now that I have a bit of a love affair with Australian indie makers and have a rapidly growing list of favorites. Well....I guess I'm just going to have to add another one to that list!

So far, before this review package, I have acquired just one Femme Fatale and that is, I', embarrassed to say, still sitting in my untried pile! Which one you ask? I have Suspended Starlight gifted to me by a lovely lady who I got to know through a few makeup interest groups and let me tell you I love how it looks in the bottle! So, that being said, I had every expectation that I'd receive a package full of gorgeous-in-the-bottle polishes but didn't really know much about formula or application. And boy! Was I pleasantly surprised! The formula and application of each and every polish below was fantastic, from the jellies to the glitters, and I came away super impressed!

Alrighty, now on to the swatches!

First up, I have for you Cloudburst--a minty/seafoam green crelly with  bright pink, metallic magenta, white and black squares in various sizes and added gold shimmer. The swatches below show 3 smooth coats, topped with 1 generous coat of G&G's HK Girl to finish the look! Isn't this so pretty?








Next, I have for you Hydraxia--a gorgeous teal/blue-green jelly packed with various shades and sizes of blue glitters with just a touch of yellow, black and holographic glitter for added oomph! The swatches below show 3 generous coats on its own, followerd by 1 generous coat of G&G's HK Girl. SO, so gorgeous!

Next up, I have for you my favorite of all these polishes, Wolfsbane--a stunning dark purple jelly filled with navy blue hexes and shards, periwinkle flecks, accents of red and light blue holographic MOONS!! GAH!!! Love this so much! But before I get carried away, just have to let you know that...the swatches below show 3 generous coats on its own, topped with 1 thick coat of G&G's HK Girl. =) Did I mention? GAH!!! So pretty!!! =D








With flash!








Last but definitely not the least, I have for you Keeper of the Grove--a vibrant lime green jelly packed with holographic green and gold glitters as well as bright pink and teal circles and pale pinky gold hearts! Now, as most of you know, I don't usually swatch over black polish (it depresses me) and I'm not a big fan of green. Well, lookie below! I did BOTH and I have to admit the results were GORGEOUS! The swatches below show 2 generous coats over 2 coats of Sinful Colors Black on black.








With flash!






And then...I threw a matte top coat over it and here are the results below, with and without flash respectively!






So there you have it, my darlings! Four gorgeous polishes from Femme Fatale Cosmetics! And the best part, they ship internationally! You can find these, and other, gorgeous polishes HERE, for the price of AUD $10 for a full-size, 12 mL bottle! Shipping quotes can be requested via email, depending on where you are located.
