Hi everyone!
I'm still finding myself trawling through old photos - rather than taking new ones - so I thought I would share one of the many unblogged! I picked this up about a year ago. Yes, I know that's a looong time. I have no excuses. Except - it's a blue polish. And we all know that me and blue aren't exactly the best of buddies. But the eternal magpie in me needed it. It's shimmery. And, truth be told, it was 3 for 2 on Max Factor at the time. I needed a spare Fantasy Fire, and this was one of the others to make the shopping basket.
(I say needed, I may mean something different...)
Anyway, get ready for a shock people. I like this blue. It's beautiful. It's lovely. And it's blue!
With the flash, you can really see the holographic shimmer - multi-coloured mini glitters turn this from a basic blue foil into something much better!
In natural light, it may not have the same dazzling effect, but it's still pretty lovely. It has a lovely smooth finish, and was easy to apply. Dry time was pretty quick too. I can't remember how many coats I used, but I don't think it was more than two.
My only gripe with these polishes is that the bottle is so tiny I find the lid a bit fiddly. I'd love to see these in a larger bottle, with a better brush. Other than that, I've been really impressed so far!
Do you have any favourite Max Factor polishes? Is this a blue you would wear too? Let me know,
Love Charlotte x

Random Nail Spam!
Hi Everyone!
As you can see, I have the *most* imaginative title for this post...! So very creative... not!
Anyway, if you're still here (and have forgiven me for the terrible title), I'm just going to share some of my favourite mani's from the last couple of months!
There are a few more pictures to sort through, so I'll be back soon with a few more. Then, I guess we'll see!
Thanks for reading,
Love Charlotte x

A Layering Experiment - Fantasy Fire + Beach Bum Blu
Hi Everyone!
I've been playing around with Fantasy Fire (you know, THAT Max Factor polish which sent everyone into a tizz last year) for a while now, and I am looking for the perfect base for layering. I've tried a few different combinations, but I thought I'd share a quick example I tried after swatching Essie's Beach Bum Blu.
On all pictures, my index and pinkie are just the BBB, my middle finger has BBB with 1 coat of FF, and my ring finger is BBB with 2 coats of FF!
Make sense? I hope so!!
I think that this makes quite an interesting combination, and it's a nice change from the typical dark blue or purple bases!
Whats your favourite base colour for Fantasy Fire?
Let me know,
