Last month I definitely focused a lot more on nail art which didn't leave me with enough time to swatch some of the pretties that I purchased last year (that is still a goal of mine to do this year - hopefully I can get it done within the next few months). This month I will be working in some more of the older polishes with some new as well as nail art challenges and stamping plates. Gotta stick to the goals I have set for myself don't I? Anyway, last year I picked up four of the polishes from Femme Fatale Cosmetics Welcome To Mars Collection and I have finally gotten around to swatching them. So let's take a look shall we?

The Egotrip has a clear base with pink-to-gold shifting glass flecks, pink chrome flakes and gold holographic glitters. As this polish is in a clear base I decided to layer it over a black base as it looks as though it will take four plus coats to be opaque. I quite like this one. It's definitely pretty over black, although next time I would like to try this over a nude I think. My swatch shows one coat over black.

The Last Resort is described as a rich, velvety plum with subtle pink sparks. Another really pretty polish. I think this would be great for the cooler months. The formula is great and applies evenly. I used two coats for my swatch.

Turbinium is a medium tone purple with turquoise shine and warm green-golden-orange shifting flakes. It also has a scattering of holo particles and some green iridescent microglitters. I really like this one. I'm actually still wearing it as I write this post. The formula is a little on the sheer side but easy to work with. I used three coats for my swatch, but it is still see through at the tips in direct light.

Welcome To Mars is described as a shimmering, shifting, brick red which leans to a ruddy orange and gold. It is packed with gold and copper microglitters and holo glitters, and pink chrome flakes. This is definitely not one that I would normally grab for but I'm so glad I did pick it up. It's quite pretty and interesting. The formula is easy to use. I used three coats for my swatch.

Overall I am really happy with the four of the polishes I grabbed. They are all really pretty polishes which good formulas.
