Femme Fatale The Fallen Kingdom (on semi-nubs)

Morning, friends :) How was your weekend?  Mine was largely unproductive.  Long, late naps were taken and chores ignored.  C had to work so I bacheloretted it up for the better part of it, lol.  Kinda glad it's over.

Sooo I have super short nails for the moment (comparitively speaking).  I had a surface crack in my left index that was starting to drive me batty so I just decided to file.  I had about a week's worth of posts lined up but now it's time to get real, lol.  I hate filing, it makes me super nervous, so I'll let my nails get as long as they can and that's not always a good thing.  I feel like they were just starting to push the limits of actually looking good, so this might be for the best.  And so, without further ado, I present to you my semi-nubs.  I don't think they've been this short since this past spring.

The past few weeks have been filled with Celestial Cosmetics/Color4Nails collaborative collection commemorating the tv show Game of Thrones, but the C4N excitement doesn't stop there.  They've also got an exclusive limited edition polish collab with another Aussie indie maker, Femme Fatale.  Also based on the aforementioned popular series, this polish is called The Fallen Kingdom.

The Fallen Kingdom is a murky grey base packed with pink and mauve shimmer, tiny, small, and medium sized peach, mauve, and magenta round glitters, and small and medium peach and mauve hex glitters.  All sizes of mauve glitters flash holographic.  It's a chunky glitter, so I opted to layer one coat over NARS Storm Bird, a medium toned shark grey creme.

  The Fallen Kingdom is a pretty complex polish.  I adore anything with that violet holographic flash and it was kind of surprising in this mix.  It's such a warm and cozy blend of colors and the shimmer is just beautiful.  It's very similar to one of my favorite big brand colors this fall, Essie Sable Collar, but festive.  So pretty.  The formula is spot on, too-- the glitters are plentifully deposited onto each nail with no fuss whatsoever, and all are small enough that they lay perfectly flat with no trouble.  In one coat, The Fallen Kingdom isn't topcoat hungry, either-- one layer of a nice, thick topcoat smooths this out perfectly.
