AMAZING!!! Fantasy Fire! Picture heavy!!!

So, I happen to be lucky enough to win Max Factor Fantasy Fire in a giveaway from Set in Lacquer. Check out her blog...it's wonderful!! For those of you that don't know, this polish isn't available in stores in the US.  I know its pretty available in the UK but I'm not sure if it is available elsewhere. This particular polish has been compared to Clarins 230, aka Unicorn Pee.  It is definitely not a dupe but has similar properties.  There are blogs out there that have done comparison.  If you're interested, just fire Google up!  

Showcasing this polish requires a lot of pictures in my opinion.  Also, this is more of layering polish.  I've seen lots of pictures of this and people tend to layer it over black and rich blues/purples.  I decided when looking through my collection to layer it over Essie's No More Film.  If you like somewhat darker colors, you need this polish in your life!  It's a blurple and it is easily a one coater!!  

Also, I have a swap in progress in which I will get getting a few more bottles of Fantasy Fire.  When I hit 100 subscribers, I'm hoping to do a giveaway that a bottle of this will be included.  

So, should we get onto the pictures?  

These first pictures are indoors.  You can see how it flashes red.

Outdoor bottle shot!  How gorgeous is that!

Wowza!!!  Isn't this amazing!!!  I can't stop staring at my nails!

Here is a thumb shot facing away from the sun.  You can see how if flashes green.

And here is a thumb shot facing the sun where if flashes red. 

If you can get your hands on this polish, get it!!!  It is amazing!!

Enjoy your Sunday!

New Favorite Green

I haven't been posting as much as I would like lately.  Life just continues to be super busy but hopefully I will get posting a little more.  Today I have for you Essie Mojito Madness from Essie's summer 2012 collection.  I have been on a huge blue and green kick lately.  I absolutely love this color!!!  I don't even know how to describe it.  It's kind of a cross between a grass green with maybe a little bit of lime to it. The formula on this was amazing and this is two coats.

Have a lovely day!

Orly Androgynie

Today I have for you Orly Androgynie.  This polish was originally a limited edition polish but Orly now has it as part of their permanent line.  I first put down a coat of Wet N Wild Black Creme, which by the way is an awesome black polish!  Androgynie is a black jelly with glitters but I didn't feel like messing with putting on several layers. Without further adieu....

Thanks for looking!

Neon

Hello there! When Walgreens had the recent sale on Sinful Colors I picked up several. A handful of them were neons. One thing that I learned....neons are a PITA to photograph! This actually photographed better with my iphone. This is Sinful Colors Dream On. I did put down some white "undies" as a base and then three coats of Dream On. This dries matte as neons do but I added Seche Vite as a top coat. If you read my last post I had given NYC Grand Central Sation a try as a top coat. Now I did bartend the next day but I noticed chipping before I even had my hands in water. Maybe I'll try it again during the week when I'm not bartending just to see, but so far I prefer my Seche Vite.

Enough rambling on, here are the pics of Dream On. It is still brighter in person but this is close. I do recommend this shade especially for the summer!

This color is so much better in person.  I recommend it!

Until next time,

Butter London Slapper with Glitter Gradient

Hello again!!  I had picked up this Butter London polish recently and it's kind of been staring me in the face.  I finally decided to put it on today.  I then topped it with some glitter in a gradient type of fashion.

This is Butter London Slapper.  I then added Wet n Wild Coloricon Cost is no issue as a gradient.  I am trying out a new top coat.  I am usually a Seche Vite kind of girl but another blogger, who I cannot remember at the moment, had said she really liked NYC Grand Central Station.  I don't know that this is really meant to be a top coat, but I am giving it a shot.  It does dry fairly quick which is one of the characteristics I like about Seche Vite.  Onto the pictures!!!

Butter London Slapper.  Loved the application of this!

Topped with Wet N Wild Cost is No Issue

Thanks for stopping by!!
