British Bloggers Top 10 Favourite Nail Polishes


On Friday British Bloggers partook in your top 10 favourite nail polishes. I'm a little seeing as it's Saturday, I was going to do it on Friday after work but I was so tired I forgot *embarrassed* so here are my top 10 favourites:

My favourite so much that I used 1/4 of a bottle in the first month on 2 separate manicures:

Barry Ms Summer Limited Edition Green.



My second two come as sort of a pair. 

Galahad from A England, I love this beautiful teal like blue but doubly when paired with favourite no 2 ;)


A England Morgan Le Flay a beautiful shimmer polish fantastic for layering over an array of colours but my favourite is when it's teamed with Galahad like below. 


Max Factor Fantasy Fire, I adore this for layering over blacks, dark blues purples even tested over a lilac once. So many combinations but black has the best stand out factor. 


Another A England, there are just so many pretties but none like Dragon, a perfect smooth forest like green with scattered holo. 


One of my first indie brands given in a swap Daring Digits Hufflepuff. This was lovely but also my house is Hufflepuff so it gets special mentions ;)


China Glaze Stella one of my absolute favourites I was given in a swap which I'm really glad about because I'd never got this for myself and would have missed out. 


OPI German-icure. I just love dark vampy autumn colours.


Barry M Greenberry (covered in glitter) perfect summer green. My favourite colours for polish is green so I have a lot. 


Another Barry M Limited polish from Christmas 2012 in pink (covered in glitter), this was a nice foil, easy to apply and just a perfect fairy pink colour. 


I hope you enjoy my top 10, when you have so many to choose from it's a hard decision but these are 10 I apply again and again. Sorry for the old mani pics type was not of the essence. 

Enjoy! x

Max Factor - Fantasy Fire


I've done Fantasy Fire before but I've gotten a bit better at capturing the colour, I've done this one again. The base colour I've used is Barry M Black, the effect it made is sublime. A gorgeous shifting duo-chrome of deep burgundy, brown and green.

2 coats Barry M Black, with 2 coats of Fantasy Fire. They both have good application and coverage. 

I love the burgundy tones this one gets in the right light.

With out further ado I leave you with a few pictures of Fantasy Fire below =)





Enjoy! x

Max Factor- Fantasy Fire


Today I have one of my favourite layering polishes.. Max Factor Fantasy Fire. Depending what you layer it over it can have some great looks. I have tested it twice over purple so far, a dark and light respectively. I would love to test it over some more maybe a dark blue but I have a lot of untrieds yet to swatch ;3 You can get this at Superdrugs and Boots stores for £3.99, it is quite a small bottle though but as layering it should last a but still :3


My first test was over a dark purple by Technnic I found on a local make up stall for 99p. It makes the FF effect come out quite dark, alot of dark red, green and gold shifts depending on the light. I loved this and I will be wearing it again as it would be a great Autumn/Winter mani not so summery.
I will say this was a pain to get off, it took me ages which I didn't expect, I will test it with my Borjouis Magic Remover next time.


This was tested over the beautiful Nails Inc Ebury Bridge in my last post. You can see the effects are totally different. This was quite a magical effect all shimmery pink and gold.


I think this is a beautiful polish and a good one to test with various polishes.

Enjoy! x
