Another week has passed and we have Fiendish Fancies' Feature 2: Aliens Collection to share with you today. This is a really fun and eclectic (in the best sense of the word) collection of polishes and we think you will like them as much as we do (which is a lot). This set of 6 polishes is inspired by the classic films of Ridley Scott and James Cameron.
Who's Laying These Eggs? is a "golden army green/gold shifter inspired by the Alien Queen's nest of ovum." I don't know about you but the thought of alien ovum kind of horrifies me out but this polish is so gorgeous! I don't think pictures do it justice because it's so complex and unique. The formula is buttery and reminds me a lot of Enchanted Polish circa the Beatles collection (the good old days). I used 3 coats plus top coat. It starts out sheer but builds perfectly and easily. Who's Laying These Eggs is my favorite from the collection.
Jonesy is a "Ginger-beige pearlescent shimmer Marmalade kitties." This polish is definitely not my personal cup of tea but I think a lot of people will really like it. I had some issues with streakiness on this one but overall it wasn't a deal breaker because this polish is so unique and delicate. It's a fun neutral because of the pearlescent finish. This is 2 coats plus top coat.
Next up is Get Away From Her (You Bitch) which is a "Speckled neon yellow with chunky black glitter inspired by Loaders and Airlocks." I chose to layer this one over OPI Did It On 'Em and I really like how it turned out. The base was different enough that the yellow glitter was still visible. You can definitely wear this on its own in 3 or 4 coats depending on nail length and your preference for VNL or not. This is one coat over the OPI with top coat. I did have to fish around a bit for the black glitters but they came up easily and it was worth the extra effort.
A Xenomorph May Be Involved is a "metallic silver black microfine glitter inspired by Secreted resin and Alien jaws." Now I really love this polish too. This one was opaqe in two coats and smoothed out beautifully with top coat. I love the microglitter in here because it makes this polish so sparkly and adds a lot of depth. I will definitely be wearing this again.
No Indigenous Life is a "indigo/blue shimmer with scattered holographic glitter Inspired by The foggy twilight of LV-426." What a stunner! The formula on No Indigeous Life is similar to Who's Laying These Eggs which is to say buttery and flawless. This is 3 coats and top coat but it dries really glossily on its own which is always a plus. This polish is also super complex with holo sparkle and a stunning shimmer. We will definitely be wearing this again too!
And last but not least is A Little Twitchy which is a "milky pearl white with iridescent glitter inspired by the (Alien) Queen taking Bishop (apart); Ripley smashing Ash." This polish is great. I love a good white polish and this one is no exception. The pearly white finish and iridescent glitter stole my heart. I also love the inspiration behind it and the creative interpretation by Fiendish Fancies. This is 3 coats and no top coat so you can see how shiny and smooth it is on its own.
Overall, this is a stellar collection. I would say the only polish that isn't perfect is Jonesy because of the issues I had with streaks. The wear time on these polishes is great too. We got 3 days without any chips and minimal tip wear before removing the polish at the end of day three. These polishes are beautiful interpretations of Alien classics!
