Max Factor Fantasy Fire (Clarins 230 Dupe!)

So the lovely Claire did it once again! She got me one of the most beautiful polishes that I would have never been able to get my hands on. I can not thank her enough for sending me lovelies from across the pond! This polish is the elusive Max Factor Fantasy Fire. Fantasy Fire is an indigo jelly polish with the most beautiful color shifting glitter. You will see all the colors this beautiful polish flashes in my photos below. I took a lot of pics because I wanted to try and capture all the color changes. These photos are much different than my norm but you have to hold your hand in weird positions to get the color change effect. I also layered this polish over Revlon Royal which is not a flash friendly polish. I hope you ♥ this polish as much as I do!








Isn't is lovely?! I encourage you to click on the photos to make them larger because the polish really is that awesome. Now the only downside of these polishes is the size. They are tiny! Fantasy Fire comes in at a whopping 4.5ml. Here is a side by side comparison of Max Factor Fantasy Fire and Glitter Gal Light As A Feather. 
Now these polishes look like they are the same size but..NO! If you read carefully Glitter Gal is 9ml which is double the size of Max Factor. Needless to say, this polish is a layering one. I would not dare waste this amazing polish on trying to build it up for opaque coverage. I hope you guys enjoyed this polish as much as I do!

      Clarins does not have blue in it. This polish just has the same gorgeous color shift!

Water Marble Success

Image
Happy Friday All! Today I have for you as promised my second full-on attempt of a water marble. If you follow me on Twitter I gave a sneak peak of this last night. I was so excited to show it off.  I have been wanting to try this again since my first time I attempted it. The first time I water marbled it was a disaster. They did not turn out the way I wanted and it literally took me 3 hours to do both hands. It was exhausting to say the least and I was a tad bit apprehensive to try it again. Boy am I glad I DID! Look how freaking cool this turned out. Had to showcase the thumb! L-R Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, Wet Concrete, Mellow Yellow. I used a base of Wet n Wild White Creme under the water marble. I used all Sally Hansen polishes for my water marble. I love this color scheme. My sister told me it looked very 70's. I agree! Many water marble tutorials out there tell you to use room temperature water. I tried that and I could not get the polishes to spread out. I...

Tropical Sunset

Happy Friday! Well I don't know about you but I wish I was on a beach somewhere. Instead I'm having to settle for nail art sunsets. I have to say this was quite easy to do, but I will say I am only showing you my left hand for a reason. My Thumb = My favorite! I got my inspiration from  IartKandi's YouTube video. Click the link to watch her video. Her tutorial is great and she taught me everything I know. This is the fist time I attempted sponging let along using a stripe brush to make a object. I mean stripes I have done but palm trees, definitely not. It went better than expected and I love the results. L-R  Glitzerland, Y'all Come Back Ya Hear?, Blazed, Dream Poppy, Black Striper, Makeup Sponge I laid down two coats of Glitzerland to make my nail opaque. I then put one coat of Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? over my whole nail. Next came the sponging which was quite fun. I sponged on Blazed first which is a coral so it blended the orange and the pink togeth...

Wet n Wild Jelly Sandwich

Image
Happy Sunday Everyone! Hope you guys are having a great weekend. I just got off work early so my weekend just got better!Today I have for you another couple Wet n Wild polishes. I made my jelly sandwich from Wet n Wild FuchsiaRama and Party of Five Glitters. I have used Party of Five Glitters for this type of mani before because it pops under the coat of jelly polish. I really like the look of layering the glitter under a coat of the thin color because it gives it a bit of sophistication. Or at least that is what I tell myself. Fuchsia Rama can be layered to be opaque it just takes 3 to 4 coats. I used two coats of Party of Five Glitters and one thin layer of FuchsiaRama over it. Confession time: I am really not supposed to be wearing polish where I work. I work for like a sub-company within that company and we don't really adhere to all their rules. If we did my boss would be out of luck because her nails are insane! But anyways, I still don't like to draw that much...
