Akkorokamui – Femme Fatale COTM 2018 – Thermal Transition

This month’s Fiend of the Month is a warming thermal: a muted plum-pink (warm state) that transitions to blackened purple (when cold) – with gold-green shifting foil particles and scattered holographic microglitters.

Can you just pause for a moment and drink in that holo sparkle?

And here it is again with a half and half transition. The weather kept making it hard for me to capture a complete transition on this day, but you’ll see it clearer in the video I provide soon!

THE RUNDOWN:

Name: Akkorokamui – available here at Femme Fatale online. See here for stockists & distributors.
Brand: Femme Fatale
Collection: FOTM
Colour (or family): Pink to Dark Purple
Type & Finish: ‎Thermal
Size: 9ml / 0.3oz

Formula & Application notes:
Fiend of the Month is a warming thermal: a muted plum-pink (warm state) that transitions to blackened purple (when cold) – with gold-green shifting foil particles and scattered holographic micro-glitters.

This is 2 coats with top coat. I recommend 2-3 depending how thickly you paint. Another flawless application, it dries quickly yet smoothly despite all its inclusions.

The Verdict:
This thermal is quite reactive and kept changing all the time. It reminds me of chocolate coated cherries or strawberry candy kind of thing. It has a jam packed sparkle and you can really notice the micro-glitters glinting in the light. Especially bright sun! It’s such a fun polish, and I think it will really appeal to holo, thermal, and ‘holo thermal’ lovers, as well as people who love the pinks and purple shades.
