This is apparently the "It" shade right now with it being scarce to source
and apparently 6 months of stock sold out already?
Well I found it easily in two of my local drug stores with ease
and don't really understand all the fuss other than it is a dupe for a now distinct Clarins shade?
Max Factor Fantasy Fire Nail is what I describe as a petrol shade,
in some lights it reflects red, gold, purple, green and blue.
In the bottle it appears to be a bright cobalt blue yet applied it leans more purple.
This is due to the fact it is a very sheer polish and requires building to gain an opaque finish.
For me it took three coats to gain a some what decent level of coverage but it is not fully opaque,
I feel it would require 4 or more for that to happen.
If like me you hate faffing around with layer upon layer of polish I suggest layering it over a similar shade
or for a really pretty effect layer it over a deep wine or plum shade.
I still have my shellac manicure so I'm afraid it is still false nail swatches for the time being,
in my experience I have found Max Factor polishes to wear for around 3 days with minor tip wear.

ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteI don't get the hype about this colour either. It is pretty but I guess I'm not into purples xx
ReplyDeleteGlad i'm not alone Tass :)
DeleteI like the effect it gives and how it can shine a different colour depending on the angle of light, but it seems like you'd really need to work each layer and be patient to get the full effect.
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't like layering either too much hassle haha!
DeleteThe colour is pretty, but like you say there's nothing so so so special about it! :P
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree :)
DeleteI'm not overly bothered about this colour either & saw a few of them in Boots yesterday too, mustn't be that difficult to get hold of like!

Thank you lovely :)
DeleteI did want to buy this shade as everyone was getting hyped up about it, but after reading several posts about it saying it needs to be layered up I am going to give it a miss, I hate nothing more than applying layers upon layers of polish. Great post!

DeleteOh my gosh, this colour is AMAZING! I am going online to buy this now! Amazing post and lovely blog by the way xoxo
ReplyDelete=w= Definitely hate...faffing....around with nail polish. Shame it's so pretty D:
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the fuss about this particular colour either. It's a nice enough shade, but not one I'd wear much. I'm not big on the glitter/sparkle trend on right now, but I do like the Nailfinity formula. I have two non glitter shades I really like.
