Max Factor Fantasy Fire

Hi everyone! So I just went through some of my photos and found that I have a bit of a stockpile from late December and early January when I was still in Calgary for the winter break. This allowed me lots of time to work on nails, and I also had that sunlight that I miss so much for swatching. I'm going to queue up these posts over the next few weeks so don't be surprised if my photos and nails look a little different all of a sudden.

Today I have the first of three polishes that my good friend from high school, Melissa, brought me back from England: Max Factor Fantasy Fire. I know the hype over this polish has somewhat died down but I still think it's awesome.

For these photos I layered one coat of Fantasy Fire over OPI Dating a Royal.

Look at that gorgeous red sparkle! For anyone who hasn't seen Fantasy Fire before, it's one of those colour shifting pigments that goes from red to copper to green.

See what I mean? Amazing!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the green side of Fantasy Fire, it was only at extreme angles that it made an appearance. As far as I know, Max Factor polishes are only sold in England.

Do you ever get your friends to bring you polishes when they go traveling? Melissa actually lives in England now, so I pretty much have a permanent supplier :P

OPI The Amazing Spider-Man - Swatches & Review

Hey everyone, I've missed you guys! I am back from my break and you're going to be seeing a lot more of me in the next few months. I thought I'd start things off with a bang, so today I have for you my swatches and review of the OPI The Amazing Spider-Man collection which is set to hit stores this May. I'll be the first to admit I don't know anything about Spiderman, but I know a thing or two about nail polish, so keep reading if you'd like to see what OPI is bringing to us this spring!

This post is extremely picture heavy, but you'd expect no less from a swatch post, right? 

Full swatches and review after the jump!

Quit Teasing!

Hey everyone! How are you guys doing today? I'm so happy this week is going by quickly, I just want January and February to hurry up and leave so I can have spring! Today I'm sporting OPI Tease-y Does It from the beautiful Burlesque collection. I can't even name off how many colours this polish shows off in the sunlight, so you'll have to take my word for it.

Did you guys pick up any polishes from this collection? Keep reading for some more pics!

Oldschool Duochrome!

Yes, you heard me right, DUOCHROME. Actually..maybe even multichrome! Look at this baby! I got this quite a few years ago and at the time I liked it, put it on, realized it turned brown, and took it off because I thought brown nail polish was horrendous! When I was home this past December/January I dug this little gem up and WOW! It hasn't quite satisfied my lemming for some MariMoons but it'll tide me over until I can buy some.. Let me just warn you now, this is a pic-heavy post. Behold the beauty of Rimmel Zeitgeist!

LOOK AT THAT! Purple/coppery brown goodness.. I'm speechless. And yes, this was indeed ONE COAT. Are you sold yet?

Here it is with the flash looking very purple.

Please please please keep reading for some more pictures, this polish can't be ignored!
