NOTD: Bright Orange!

A bright mani for a pretty dull day! (Click the photo to enlarge)

 

I've started to label which colours and plates I've used on the actual photo, let me know if you like this idea!

I've recently bought storage for my collection and I'll have a blog post up in a couple of days to show you guys :)

Max Factor Fantasy Fire Swatch - Clarins 230 'Unicorn Pee' Dupe

After hearing all the comments about how Fantasy Fire was a dupe for Clarins 230 'Unicorn Pee' I thought I'd try it out. Luckily there were some left and I bought the last two they had for £5.98 from Superdrug :) I've never had/tried Clarins 230, but from what I've seen, Fantasy Fire is a pretty good dupe and not a bad price either! Overall, it is a very nice colour but very sheer, which is why I decided to layer it over 1 coat of Revlon 240 Impulsive (a medium purple) to make it stand out more. I didn't use a top coat as I've heard it can ruin the effect of these kinds of polishes, although having said that I did use Seche Vite Fast dry top coat after taking pictures to see what it looks like, and I can say it still has the same gorgeous colours and effect.

The polish I used:

Base Coat -Collection 2000 Base Coat

1st Coat - Revlon 240 Impulsive

2nd Coat -Max Factor Fantasy Fire

Top Coat - None
