Epic Fall Duo by Feenix Polish

How perfect is this duo for fall? It's Feenix Polish's Twigs, with Falling For You (also by Feenix) as a topper. There's a little bit extra at the tips for added interest. I know what you're thinking... "What tips?"... You guys are jerks. I'm really trying to grow them out! I swear! Gosh. :)

Twigs (base color) was a flawless polish, not too thin, not too thick. Easily buildable. I used 3 coats. Ring finger is 1 coat of China Glaze Agro as color comparison. One coat of Seche Vite. Twigs is lighter, more delicate, and has sparks of micro glitter, where Agro is just a shimmer. Had a bit of trouble with my lightbox an blurines. I trust you to get past that, however. Also, small cuticle injury on my middle finger. I hate winter dryness!


 Twigs is way more sparkly and flattering.
 Remember, ring finger is ChG Agro.
 Love these tiny pumpkins. I'm keeping this one til it rots. :)
One of our giant Maple's. I should censor this naked tree!

And now on to Falling For You. Haha, how appropriate:

 Glad I don't have to clean these all up myself!

This polish was a little on the thick side, but it helps to hold the glitter. I don't know where I'd be without Seche Vite, though. Probably still waiting for these to dry! I really globbed it on there thick. he perfect shades for fall! This is where the blurry lightbox syndrome come in. Ugh.





The yummy  duo. What do you think?

Enkelini Wrap-up!

So the last few days I've been wearing and swatching Enkelini polishes. Let me tell you, I have not had a single issue. All 3 apply flawlessly and beautifully. I've gotten compliments on all 3 from customers at work. I will be getting full-size bottles of Doynk and Gettin' Jiggy.... they're just too cool not to. How terrible would it be if I ran out? Very. Very terrible. Alright well here they are!


















What do you think of them? Which is your favorite? Will you be buying one of these or another from Enkelini? Let me know in the comments!

Enkelini's Doynk

Hey ladies and gents. Today we have day 3 of the Enkelini series, Doynk. It is a color-shifting glitter topcoat with very good 1-coat coverage. The glitters shift from dark green to light green, to golden, to a harvest orange. This would be so pretty for Autumn! Here's a bit from their Etsy: "These are the same glitters as used in Ozotic Elytra Polishes. This is normally used as a top coat over a base colour, however I have added a 'double shot' of glitter to this one so it can be worn without the need for a dark base colour under it." Ozotic glitters? Score! This is probably the closest I'll ever get  to an ozotic. :)This is really an easy polish to love. easy to apply, quick drying, and beautiful. What more could I ask? Here's what I came up with as far as photos. Sorry if it's not as neat as it could be, I was excited and went straight to photographing! These are over China Glaze Agro from the Hunger Games collection.


Shit, that's ugly.... Going outside to take better pics. Sorry you had to see that!!!!!

Better pictures: (Lots of them in an attempt to capture the shift)


 There's a bit of the shift.
 The orange showed up for a while :)


The lineup. This photo is a lie, I didnt use topcoat cause it killed the glitter.
1 coat, 1 coat, 3 coats (Just for good measure. Really it would have been fine with 1 but I got carried away.)
