I made it before the weekend is over and the window for Polish Pickup is closed for another month. And that would have been tragic because this month (Scary Movies) was MADE for my favourite Canadian brand - Fiendish Fancies.
Broken Mirror, Broken Minds
When PPU announced that this month was going to be based on makers' favourite scary movies, I couldn't wait to see what Lara would come up with. EVERY release she does is based on the darker side of pop media, so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. And I wasn't.
Broken Mirror, Broken Minds is described as a cool iris blue-purple with flakes of gold, yellow, and blue. There was a very subtle sparkle of holo in this one when outside in the sunlight. It was based off of the movie Suspiria, which I have not seen, but now have added to my list. If I have learned anything from being a Fiendish Fancies customer over the years, it is that Lara doesn't take her inspirations lightly and you can bet that the polish is well thought out and each element is reflected in the movie.
The formula of Broken Mirror, Broken Minds is top notch. Things have been busier than normal around here and I swatched this polish and didn't get around to photographing it. So I wore it for an entire five days without as much as tip wear. I changed my polish and then a day later, I swatched this one again. This time, I took photographs but I was lazy to change it so I ended up wearing it again and AGAIN it lasted for another five days. Fiendish is one of those brands that just wear really well on me. I used three thin coats for coverage you see here though I believe regular wear (read: not under a photographer's bright lights) would be just fine for two.
Broken Mirror, Broken Minds is available NOW and is not to be missed! It can be found at Polish Pickup for $11.50 and it is capped at 100 bottles. If you've been on the fence about trying this brand, this is a great introduction!
