Ever After: Feminine Chic

Something beautiful this way comes! A fun fall collection with a feminine touch. Rachel from Ever After has created Feminine Chic inspired by fashion runways, fall, and fun.

Sashay is a baby pink crelly that is opaque in three thin coats and packed with multichrome flakies which gives it a feminine yet edgy look. The formula was very smooth and so easy to control that I had no clean up for this mani.

Atlantis is an enigma of a polish, in a good way! It leans more blue in some lighting and more green in other lighting and sometimes you can see both at the same time! It's quite a magical mermaid style polish. I used two coats and topcoat for photos and didn't want to take this one off!

Threshold got my attention quickly after unwrapping the bottle. It's a beautiful shade of raspberry with gold shimmer, multichrome flakes, and holographic pigment. How'd she get all that in there? Two smooth coats will get opacity and because the brush and formula are so nice, I had minimal clean up.

Cin is a spicy lil copper microglitter polish with purple shimmers and holographic pigment throughout. What a perfect sparkly shade to depict fall leaves! Two coats is all it took to be opaque and the formula was smooth.

Blue Steel stole my heart. It has a fathomless dark grey base with blue flecks and holo pigment. It's quite beautiful in it's own mysterious way. Opaque in two easy coats.

Sweet Heart Polish: Fer Sure

I was in the mood for something fun and a lil shout to summer since fall is here, but the summer weather is sticking around!

Fer Sure, a neon matte glitter topper from Sweet Heart Polish fit the bill! I am wearing this over a dark denim holo polish, as a "hey fall, I know you're there, but you're behind!" feel. I really like how this turned out, the dark base makes those neon shades simply pop! What do you think of this look?

This topper is no longer available for sale, but the Sweet Heart Polish shop has a great selection of other bright toppers to choose from!

Bear Pawlish: Fall With Me

This fall collection from Bear Pawlish is absolutely stunning so I won't waste any more of your time with an intro, let's go!

Buried In the Garden has such depth! I'm lovin this jelly style polish with chrome flakes and holo flair, together they create a complex, yet beautiful polish! I would love to see more in this vein from Bear Pawlish! Two buttery coats and topcoat were worn for photos.

Baby Bears Breath is stunning, not only because of the holo sparkle and purpley shimmer, but also the almost smokey shade of pink in the base. I don't think I've seen anything quite like this before! Just two coats gets you to opacity.

In Love With Bad is pure seduction on the nail. Deep, vampy sultry - it's all that and a bag of chips! Great formula, opaque in one coat; however I used two coats for the sake of photography.

I added a sexy lacy design with plate VL028 from Vivid Lacquer. bow-chicka-wow-wow! (shaking my head at my sillyness!)

Aurwens Violet was inspired by one of Tennessee's favorite flowers, the Dahlia. This beautifully rich shade of violet is my favorite of the collection. The formula is easy to control on the nail which equals very little clean up. It dries to a glossy finish and is opaque in one coat, but darkens with the second coat.
