Faeries & Folklore Myth of the Month - March

***Press Sample***

Faeries & Folklore Nail Polish has come up with something pretty awesome - she is calling it a "Myth of the Month."  Each month, on the 1st, a polish will be released that connect with some sort of mythological creature :)  This month's is a mermaid.

Now, we all know mermaids totally exist, but for the sake of the product, we'll pretend it's a myth ;)

Without further ado, I give you "Mermaids Can't Dance:"

Sunlight shot to catch that subtle holo!

Mermaids Can't Dance is a gorgeous teal green with a subtle scattered holographic shimmer throughout.  This applied very well and is opaque in 2-3 coats - I am wearing two thin ones in the photos, and you can still see some VNL in certain lighting.  Mermaids dried to a little bit of a textured finish, but a good thick topcoat will smooth things out very nicely :)  I am wearing one generous coat of LACC's topcoat.

Mermaids Can't Dance will be available later today and throughout the month of March - here's where you can purchase it and follow the brand:

Polish was sent to me by the maker for photography purposes and a review.  All experience with the polish is my own and my full disclosure remains 100% honest.

Abstract Ariel

I got new hair yesterday - I got MERMAID HAIR!!

I have wanted to put blues/teals/greens in my hair for a very long time, but have only recently been able to, mostly because I have the luxury of a workplace that gives no poops about hair color ;)  Ah the beauties of being a Stay-At-Home mom :D  Anywho, I call it my mermaid hair because it's just full of those beautiful blues and teals of the ocean - and inside, I am a mermaid.  There's ocean in my veins, I would live there if I could <3

In celebration of my miraculous mermaid locks, I decided to use my amazing Ariel abstract silhouette water decals sent to me by Green Goddess Creations!  Here's my mani;

Of course I posed with a Dinglehopper!! :D

I bought my first-ever water slide decals from Green Goddess Creations a few months back, and had such a great experience using them!  They're super simple, and her instructions are quite detailed.  I was able to do this mani in under 10 minutes - what?!  Crazy!  

If you'd like to purchase these, you can do so here, or you can browse her 167 products here!  Her prices are ridiculously reasonable for the amount of decals you get and the quality.  I have yet to have a negative experience with the decals and the brand.

What do you think of this design?  Have you tried this brand's water decals before?  I'd love to hear your experience with water decals in general :)

Princesses and Villains: Ariel and Ursula

The indie polish brand Ice Polish launched a "Happily Ever After...Not If I Can Help It!" princess/villain line of polishes.  I had the pleasure of reviewing Cinderella and Stepmother a while back as a pre-release.  After she launched the full line, I snagged all the rest that I didn't have, because they are so beautiful!!  Ice Polish is one of my favorite indies because she has one of the best formulas I have come across.  In the pics I'm about to show you, I've been wearing the polish for 4 days with no wear, tear, chips, or any kind of damage.  It's a darn good polish!

So after acquiring all the princess/villain duos, I decided to do something fun with all of them!  I wanted to hand paint each princess and villain on top of their corresponding nail polishes.  I am going to try to post one set a week for you for until all 6 sets are done.

Without further ado, here is the first duo: Ariel and Ursula!

As you can see, Ariel is a beautiful coral pink color with a light holographic effect in the sunlight and very subtle light green (the color of her tail) micro flakies.  Ursula is a dark, almost metallic purple, also with a holographic effect, and dark purple micro flakies.  Both were opaque in 2 coats, dried under a minute to a semi-flat finish.  

I gotta say, I love how my Ursula turned out!!  Pretty happy with that one ^_^  I didn't intend to make Ariel's neck look so pencil-like, it just happened that way when I was trying to paint her hair to look like it was flowing in front of it.  Oh well :P 

Both polishes (to my knowledge) will be available for purchase in a few weeks when the shop re-opens.  In the mean time, I have Belle/Gaston, Cinderella/Stepmother, Mulan/Shan Yu, Aurora/Maleficent, and Jasmine/Jafar left to paint for you! :)

Which princess/villain duo do you want to see next week?
