Femme Fatale Cosmetics : Highgarden (What's Ind-Die Box? April 2015)

 Hello, loves! I hope everyone is having a marvelous Thursday, so far! This look I am bringing you today is showcasing a gorgeous wine-y brown with a green flash of shimmer named "Highgarden" from the lacquer wizards over at Femme Fatale Cosmetics. If you're a fan of browns, mustards, and all kinds of ugly-ish colors, this polish is perfect for you. :)

The color I chose for the base of my mani is named Highgarden from Femme Fatale Cosmetics. It was featured in the Game of Thrones-inspired What's In-die Box? subscription box from April 2015, and unfortunately, is no longer available. I was lucky enough to come across it in a destash a while ago and HAD to have it.

This polish is a cross between maroon and brown, loaded with silver holo and berry colored glitters, with a flash of green shimmer. This was such a complex polish to capture, but you can see the flash of green shimmer ever so slightly in the upper lefthand corner of the bottle below.

For my swatch, I used 3 thin coats. The formula is a little on the sheerer side, so it would also do well over a solid base. I had no issues with the glitters during application, but I would definitely suggest topping it off with a topcoat to smooth any textured bits out, as I did in the photos below.

For the completed nail art look, I used A Penny For Your Thoughts from Fancy Gloss, another one of my favorite indie brands, to stamp over Highgarden with stamping plate 6-02 from UberChic Beauty. After adding my topcoat, I quickly added the gold studs to the centers of the flowers on each nail. 

I hope you all love this look as much as I do! If you have any special requests, or looks you'd like to see, please leave a comment down below. :)
