Sweet Surprise

It's my birthday! And while I'm incredibly eager to rush off and open all the birthday nail mail that I've accumulated over the past couple of weeks I first need to show you the final Valentine's release polish in my stash, which I also saved for today because I think it's super sweet and birthday-like.

This is Femme Fatale's 'Sweet Surprise'. Doesn't it remind you of cupcake icing!? 'Sweet Surprise' is a pale pink creme with blue undertones, and a scattering of various shapes/sizes in chartreuse, orange pink, white, garnet and purple. This one is really cute! It's certainly an interesting combination, it's pastel and bright at the same time, a combination which rarely works. My mani shows 2 coats on its own. On my ring finger I've done a birthday related candle (yes, that blob is a candle) using OPI's 'Barre My Soul' as a base and OPI's 'You're A Pisa Work' and China Glaze's 'Spontaneous' for the candle stick. The flame is OPI's 'A Good Man-darin Is Hard To Find' with some loose translucent orange glitters placed on top. Unfortunately I had to take my photos under the lamp because it's raining outside, so for a more colour accurate shot of 'Sweet Surprise' I suggest checking out the pics on the Femme Fatale Cosmetics website.
