NOTD - Fantasy Fire revisited

Hello!

Since untried month is over, and I'm not currently taking part in any challenges (there is a summer challenge about to start with the Purple Crumpet Fairy girls here if you want to take part, but until my computer problems are resolved I wont be joining in :( ) I decided to revisit a few polishes that I loved, but with a new twist. I saw this manicure by Cris at Let Them Have Polish a while ago and have had it in the back of my mind since, and here is my version. I used one coat of Revlon Royal, one coat of Fantasy Fire, and dabbed the tips with Accessorize Molten Copper. Not quite the same, but as close as I could get with what I have! Prepare for pic spam...

So hard to photograph but so purdy! Will have to take it off tonight and it will make me sad. Not least because it's a glitter and I'm out of tin foil...

Max Factor Fantasy Fire - Clarins 230's identical twin? Wanna swap?

Hi loves

I have a polish to show you that has been setting the polish world alight recently, because it is allegedly a dupe for the hard-to-find-and-stupidly-expensive-when-you-do Clarins 230, aka Unicorn Pee. I can't confirm it because I don't have Unicorn Pee to directly compare them, being just a commoner. I don't usually look at the Max Factor polishes because at £3.99 for a stingy 4.5ml bottle, I think they're expensive. But believe me this beauty is worth it! As always, my pictures suck hairy balls, but if I can make it look pretty, you know it's pretty. This one one coat over Barry M Indigo - it's sheer as a sheer thing and being as the bottle is teeny, you'll want to layer it.

How pretty? This is a new release for spring here in the UK...yes, it's a UK polish for once! It seems to be making it's way into Boots and Superdrug fairly slowly, although the Max Factor stand at my local Tesco doesn't have it yet. That being said, I got my bottle from my lovely Birthday Club friend Zoe, so I have a couple brand new bottles spare and would love to swap them for some pretties that aren't available here in the UK. SO, if you would like a bottle take a look at my wishlist and hopefully we can arrange a swap! I'm particularly interested in Finger Paints flakies, but anything on the list is fair game. Make me an offer! My contact details are in the contact tab :)

If anyone knows of a post comparing these directly to Clarins 230, I'd love to see it too so leave a link in the comments!

What do you think, dupe or no dupe?
