    Cult Nails Vicious Skittle Art

    I think I know why I’ve been completely obsessed with mix and matching my manis recently. I realised it’s just an excuse for every nail to be an accent nail! I like to just paint on a base colour and rummage through my supplies until I get ideas. Today’s center piece is Cult Nails Vicious which is one of my absolute favourite purple polishes.

    Here’s a close up of the Max Factor Fantasy Fire with the light coming from two different angles. You can see the way it flashes from gold-red to copper-green. Gooorgeous!

    Here’s my best Chalkboard Nails pose! Can I pull it off with Sarah’s prowess or shall I stick to the bottle poses?

    4000 Follower Giveaway! Day 4: HTF (Hard To Find) Polishes including Gosh Holographic!

    They always say you should save the best for last and I think that without a shadow of a doubt, this is THE most exciting giveaway day this week!
    When GOSH Holographic was discontinued, there was a collective cry from nail bloggers everywhere.  Today I’ve resurrected one lucky lady’s chance to own their very own bottle of GOSH Holographic!
    GOSH Rainbow is another polish that’s highly sought after. Similar to Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure and one of the ‘original’ flaky top coats! 
    I know Max Factor Fantasy Fire was absolutely everywhere a few months back but it’s not available to purchase in the US so I thought I’d throw that in too! It might be an over statement to call it a HTF because you can but it in any high street chemist here in the UK, but I know there are ladies out there who have never even laid eyes on a bottle of this duochrome goodness.
    The GOSH bottles are not in mint condition as you can see from the photos but that’s just some tacky goo left over from where they had security stickers plastered all over them! I’ve cleaned them up as best I can but you’ll have to cut me some slack, I had to do a lot of digging to find these! They’ve been through the wars but I got them here in one piece.

    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.
