Faeries & Folklore's "For Your Wooing Pleasure" Collection + April's MOTM

***Press Sample***

Well that title was a mouthful!

Seriously though, I have some downright gorgeous beauties to show you from Faeries & Folklore, so let's get right to it!

Meet the "For Your Wooing Pleasure" collection!

Very appropriately named, yes?  Let's start with some swatches!  Note: all polishes have a scattered holographic effect, and all are shown in the photos at 3 coats with no topcoat.

First up: "Charmingly Charismatic"

Charmingly Charismatic is a nice yellow/citrine color with brilliant green chrome flakies.  

Next: "Enchanting Entrancement"

Enchanting Entrancement is a lovely light purple-y silver with violet chrome flakies.  

Next: "Selectively Seductive"

Selectively Seductive is a brilliant frosty mint green with an emerald green shimmer and green/violet chrome flakies.

And lastly we have "Valiantly Visionary"

Valiantly Visionary is a lovely light pink with beautiful peacock blue chrome flakies and a blue shimmer.

Along with the Wooing Pleasure collection, Faeries & Folklore is also releasing April's Myth of the Month polish - so you can snag it when you get these ;)  April's MOTM is "Dragon Scales:"

Well of COURSE I nestled it with all my dragon eggs - duh!!  It's called DRAGON SCALES - and I like showing off my pretty dragon egg creations.  So there.

Here, have some swatches:

No, that's not a stamp or vinyl stencil on my ring finger - I hand painted those.  GET A STAMP OR VINYL STENCIL - holy crap, those scales took FOREVER.

Dragon Scales is a seriously awesome polish - a nice olive-green with an emerald green shimmer, subtle scattered holo shimmer, AND iridescent glitters.  Oh my stars, this one catches the light really well - it was extremely distracting during push-ups at my taekwondo lesson yesterday.

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:

Faeries & Folklore's St. Patrick's Day Trio

***Press Sample***

This morning, I have a super fun St. Patrick's Day Trio to show you by Faeries & Folklore:

Let's jump right in and start with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow:"

There's always one little f*cker in glitter placement that doesn't go where it should go.

Two things here right away: first, tell me this doesn't remind you of Fruity Pebbles??  Almost immediately after applying it to my nails I thought, "OMG!  It's like Fruity Pebbles!!" and made me a little sad that it did not smell like them.  Second thing: glitter placement.  Holy shite, that took me too long.  But I gotta say, I super love my UberChic mat specifically for these things, because it was soooo much easier to get the individual colors off that thing, and then clean up the rainbow puke mess I made.  Love it!

Now as for the polish, how super fun is this?!  When Somewhere Over the Rainbow first came to me, I had no idea what it was, because if you look at it in the bottle, it looks just like a murky glitter mix.  But as soon as you pull it out and you see the fun colorbomb that it is, sooooo many possibilities spring forth :D  This one is so freakin' fun, especially for this holiday, I just can't recommend it enough!  In order to keep the glitter suspended, it is in a thicker base so keep that in mind, and some of the larger glitters needed a little more encouragement to spread out evenly, but everything played nicely together.  Two coats of topcoat smoothed it out to perfection :)  I do recommend wearing this topper over something light colored and simple - if worn over something dark or busy, you'll loose the effect and it will look...funky.  Though I would love to see what this would look like over a light gray/white/silver holo...

Next up: "Patty:"

Patty is another super fun glitter topper, of which I did another glitter placement design, not as impressive as the last but still cute :P  This topper applied really well, very smoothly, too.  It is packed with light green, dark green, and gold holo hex shapes as well as some gold dusting and gold squares.  It's really eye catching in the sunlight as well!  I am wearing one coat in the photos above over a light mint green polish.  One coat of topcoat smoothed everything out and really made the holo and sparkle shine :)

And lastly we have "Rolled in Gold:"

My fingers look EXPENSIVE, y'all!  Hot damn!  This was such a unique polish - I can honestly say I personally haven't really seen anything like it in the indie industry yet.  It's really quite stunning!  Rolled in gold is a beautiful micro glitter polish consisting purely of gold holographic glitter.  Now the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear "holographic" is "RAINBOW ALL THE THINGS!" and there is clearly no rainbow in this polish.  That is because "holographic" comes from the word "hologram" which is a three-dimensional image, and this polish definitely looks 3D in person.  Smooth application- Rolled in Gold would be opaque in 3 thin coats but I applied this one in thicker coats and felt that adding a third to this would have been way too goopy.  Also I left the rainbow accent nail because I used Rolled in Gold for the gold.  Because of course.

This gorgeous trio will be available tonight at 6pm CST, so set your alarms!!  Here's where you can find the polish and where you can follow the brand:
