Barry M Indigo and a little surprise!

Hi everyone,

Another really late post! At the moment I seem to be so busy during the day that I only have time to post really late in the evenings!

Today I have a Barry M polish to show you. I used to really love Barry M and had a few polishes by them which I have now lost... This is the first one I've bought recently. I've seen it on a few blogs and really liked the look of it so I picked it up on my most recent trip to Superdrug. 

Indigo is a blue leaning purple creme. It was so easy to apply and went on with two coats. I thought for a minute it would be a one coater and it might have been if I was more careful but I was running out of daylight so I wasn't paying enough attention to my nails!

The pictures below show two coats of Indigo with no topcoat, this polish is super shiny!

Shade, so glossy!

Max Factor - Fantasy Fire

Hi guys,

Here it is, the one and only Fantasy Fire. This polish has caused such a stir that it's almost impossible to get hold of! Luckily I live in a part of the country where there aren't too many nail polish fanatics, so I managed to pick it up and I'm so glad I did. It's fair to say I'm a little bit in love with it! I even got complimented on it last night at the gym which was lovely.

Here it is in all its glory!

Fantasy Fire is supposedly a near dupe for the legendary and long discontinued Clarins 230 which, sadly, I do not own. It has a multichrome shimmer that shifts from red to gold to green depending on the angle. It can be worn on its own, where you'll need about 4 coats (depending on your application) to get full opacity. Alternatively you can layer the polish over another shade, which is how I wore it. The base colour in Fantasy Fire is gorgeous, but I just can't stand having a visible nail line!

First I layered Fantasy Fire over black so the shimmer could take centre stage. Then I layered it over the most similar shade I had in my stash, which was Rimmel Lycra Pro Aqua Cool. This is a cornflower blue polish that is lighter than the base colour in Fantasy Fire. Layering the polish like this means that the royal blue jelly base isn't hidden!
