Fantasy Fire by Max Factor

This nail polish has been all around You Tube and the beauty bloggers as one of the IT nail polishes of the spring/early summer.  My lovely MIL bought this for me as a Mothers Day present back in April, so I have been really excited about trying it out myself.

The polish is a duochrome of red and purple and in the bottle it is amazing.  In one light its purple, another red, so, so pretty.

On the nails though, its another story.  It took me four coats to achieve anything like a good coverage and you could clearly see all of my nails underneath.  The polish is so thin.  It really needed another colour underneath but I wanted to see the true colour of this polish so I stuck with it.  The polish itself does translate as a red/purple colour but because it was so thin, the impact was not as amazing as it could be.  It seems such a shame to have to wear it with another colour underneath as this might change the colour of the polish from that in the bottle.

So all in all its nice but not as amazing as it could be.

Next up is Fuschia from L'Oreal.
Until then,
