[Swatches] Femme Fatale–Welcome to Mars Collection

The Last Resort is part of the Welcome to Mars collection, inspired by cult-classic sci-fi action flick Total Recall from the 1990’s.

At least that’s what Femme Fatale is saying ;) This will be a very picture heavy post with swatches of the Welcome to Mars Collection. I will show you 7 out of 8 polishes from this collection (Turbinium is missing) and will give you the description from Femme Fatale, since I am super bad at describing nail polish colors.

2084

A breathtakingly demure neutral. 2084 will look different to a lot of people. To me it looks like a soft, slightly rosy-toned-mushroom that leans more mauve in the shade, and more like a pale chocolate-milk-brown in the sunlight. It’s a crelly base; and topped off with a satin-smooth pinkish-red shine that shifts slightly gold depending on the angle of the light.

Ready for Dreamland?

A soft mauve crelly with slight grey tones, pink shimmers and silver flecks. The base colour is quite cool toned, leaning rather lavender.

Welcome to Mars

A shimmering, shifting, brick red which leans to a ruddy orange and gold at an angle to the light. Packed within are gold and copper microglitters and holo glitters, and pink chrome flakes.

The Egotrip

A shimmering soup of pink-to-gold shifting glass flecks, pink chrome flakes, and gold holographic microglitters. This is a clear based shade, so some may like to wear it as a topper or you can achieve opacity with several coats (or less coats if using the sponge technique). The Egotrip is very shifty and sparkly in real life :D

Clever Girl

A bright red (pink toned) thermal that shifts to clear when warm, and is packed with golden shimmers and holographic glitters. Because the warm state is actually clear, VNL will likely show to some extent.
This is a heat sensitive thermal that loses colour at temperatures above 30°C/86F.

 

Venusville

A bright warm-tone pink thermal that shifts to clear when warm, and is packed with blue-pink shifting shimmers and silver holographic glitters. Because the warm state is actually clear, VNL will likely show to some extent.
This is a heat sensitive thermal that loses colour at temperatures above 30°C/86F.

 

The Last Resort

The two bottom pictures were taken with flash.

A rich, velvety plum with subtle pink sparks. It seems to shift a little bit between a cooler purple tone and a warmer pinkish-red tone. Within are flashes of holographic particles.
