Fair Maiden Garden Party Collection Swatch and Review

Press sample

Happy weekend! It's gorgeous warm and sunny weather by me, how about you? I'm slowly getting over the jet lag..ok..I would have been over it in a day, it is only 3 hrs, but my kids? Ugh. Wreaking havoc on their little bods, and therefore mine. So, I'm slowly catching up on swatches and have these beautiful Fair Maiden shades which is a newish brand that I'd never tried before. I have the complete set of 9 shades in the Garden Party collection to show you!

Fair Maiden Gilded Garden - a strikingly metallic polish with rose gold flecks and a linear holo finish. The only LE of this collection. Comes with the signature rose gold arrow ring (which I have shown with the next polish.) *Edit this polish has been replaced with a very similar one for the restock.

This shade is an absolute stunner! I'm sure I will be reapplying this one soon! Fantastic formula opaque in 2 coats. Shown with top coat.

Fair Maiden Stargazer - inspired by the Stargazer Lily, a classic medium pink-red off set with green flash and soft linear holo.

My personal favorite of the bunch simply because this color speaks to me. Love love! Opaque in 2 coats. Excellent formula. I didn't really see much green flash on my nails. This is the one I chose to keep wearing :D

A delicate holo, comes out beautifully in the sunlight!

Fair Maiden Sweet Honeysuckle - a soft fleshy creme with golden flash and violet red sparkle.

A beautiful shade with gorgeous shimmer! I couldn't get it to photograph quite right, it's a bit lighter and brighter in real life. Good formula, opaque in 3 coats.

Fair Maiden Evening Primrose - a pastel yellow creme offset with a deep blue flash.

This was the only shade in the collection that I some application troubles with. Even with three coats (and I tried two separate times, thinking the first time it was a fluke) I didn't get consistent opaque coverage. The shade itself is very pretty, a bit brighter and more lemon yellow than my photos show.

Fair Maiden Green Goddess - inspired by the Green Goddess Calla Lilly it is a light green polish rich in holo and kissed with a golden flash.

No complaints here, and that's saying a lot cause well, you know..it's green :P This has a stunning holo and very wearable green shade.

Fair Maiden Mint Succulent - a soft seafoam green-blue polish with a strong violet orange flash and linear holo.

Whoah. This baby is super duper pretty, looks more complex on the nail than in photos and a strong holo in the sun. I cannot wait to get this one on again. I used 3 coats.

Fair Maiden Blue Moon Wisteria - a medium deep blurple creme offset with a strong violet purple flash.

This one was much harder to capture in photos. I did some color correcting in the editing phase and it's just about right. Those blurple shades are a fine line between looking blue vs looking purple at any moment! Excellent formula, opaque in 2 coats.
