I've been wanting to get my hands on Fauve Cosmetics ever since I saw polished_yogi swatch their Impressionism collection on their Youtube channel, but was sad to find out they were US only. However, when I saw that they were releasing a dedicated Monet collection I knew I had to get my hands on their new release one way or another 😌
Water Garden is by far one of the sparkliest polishes I own, it is PACKED with flakies and reflective glitter (my two weaknesses) and is the perfect dreamy, ethereal polish for spring. I feel like I've transported into the paintings when I stare at my nails.
Personally, I prefer a thinner and lighter application of the polish since I like the translucence of flakies with the green-yellow base showing through. You can sort of see the difference in the picture 1 (thinner) vs. 4 (thicker), and in the flash photos.
