    Max Factor Fantasy Fire Swatch

    Max Factor’s Fantasy Fire seems to be the new ‘it’ polish. I’m so happy this polish is actually available in the UK, it seems like we never get the cool polishes over here!
    Fantasy Fire is supposedly a dupe for Clarins 230 – I don’t think I have to do much explaining there! Although I don’t own Clarins 230, this polish gives a very similar effect to the one I’ve seen from swatches of 230.
    The first two pictures are one coat of Fantasy Fire over A-England Elaine* with a top coat of NYC. It definitely works best over dark colours and you can see that with even a slight change of the light, it shimmers all kinds of colours. It’s PRETTTYYY!!

    And one coat of Fantasy Fire over NYC Prince Street and finished with a top coat of NYC.

    Today’s criteria is Violet Nails but that seems a bit narrow compared to previous days so I took it to mean purple in general. I really don’t want to do too much talking today. I want to let you all soak up the pure beauty of this W7 Polish!

    This is a colour that I find myself reaching for time after time when I just want to wear something simple and pretty. I don’t know how to describe the finish, my best guess is shimmer. What category would you slide this polish into?

    Day 5: Blue Nails

    We’re getting on to the good bit of the challenge now. I’m gonna OWN Blue and Violet! They are definitely my favourite shades when it comes to nail colours!
    We all know I’m NYC Top Coat’s number one fan and their colours are bloody good too. I’m not normally a lover of frosty/shimmery finishes like this but the boldness of this blue hooked me in when I saw it on Elsa’s blog.
    It seems to me that NYC are forever changing their polish range, whether it’s a complete overhaul of the shades or just a new bottle design, so it’s often hit and miss whether you’ll be able to find them in Superdrug. I found this blue shade along with a few others in a bargain bucket recently which leads me to think they’re making changes again.
    Head over to see what Cris and Rie have come up with today!
