Max Factor Fantasy Fire Swatches

Max Factor 

"Fantasy Fire"

Multichrome

I spoke to this polish more indepth in my comparison to Clarins 230.  You can view that comparison blog by clicking here.

To sum it up, Max Faxtor Fantasy Fire makes a great dupe for Clarins 230. They are not exact, but close enough to satisfy anyone lemming it.

This is only currently available in the United Kingdom, get it while you can. We are unsure if it is Limited Edition or not so I suggest just not waiting.

These pictures are a single coat of Fantasy Fire over a single coat of black creme. Topped off with Seche Vite.

Comparison: Clarins 230 vs Max Factor Fantasy Fire

Clarins 230 vs 

Max Factor Fantasy Fire

Hello, I'm doing another comparison tonight! One of my favorite things to do!! This one excites me a lot because I have a LOT of friends who are really lemming Clarins 230 and with the price continuing to go up and up, it is out of reach for many. I was fortunate to obtain Clarins 230 (Unicorn Pee) through a swap with my dear friend Ruth. So I have it on hand and can now compare it to the newly release Max Factor Fantasy Fire to see if it is a dupe.

Max Factor Fantasy Fire is only in the United Kingdom, I am not sure if it will expand later. Currently many people are finding it at a store called Boots. My dear friend Deb snagged me a few bottles of this.

Now for the comparison...make sure you click below to view more if you are viewing from my main blog page! And check back soon for an awesome announcement!!! :)

Clarin's 230 - "Unicorn Pee"

Clarin's 230

"Unicorn Pee"

Multi-color changing top coat

Can I just say this...
MY NAIL MAIL IS BETTER
THAN YOUR NAIL MAIL!!!!!!! 

 Ok, now that I got that out of my system, can I just say I had a little polish-gasm when I opened up the bubble wrap (multiple layers I might add) from this polish?! Great packing job in this EPIC swap!I could not decide what to where this over, so I did skittles for my underwear.
Thumb - Orly Liquid Vinyl (Black)
Index - Illamasqua Phallic (Deep Blue)
Swear - Illamasqua Baptiste (Deep Purple)
Ring - Zoya Savita Matte (Brighter Purple)
Pinky - Hard Candy Beetle (lighter duo chrome)

I also will add, that there is two coats of Clarins over these with no top coat.

Forgive the lack of cleanup, I'm just like a little excited puppy that tinkles all over you when you greet him! When I opened this polish, it was kinda like a scene from Lord of the Rings when perhaps Galadriel would have pulled out some magical, epic and rare elixir that is only crafted once in 1,000 years in some far off elvish country never before seen by man, er, hobbits......sigh.....magical.

Enjoy the eye candy show....

Revlon - Smoldering Dupchrome polish Silver/Gray to Pink Foil

Revlon Smoldering

Revlon "Smoldering"

Pink/Gray Duochrome

I found this today at Walgreens in a new display. I didn't notice the name of the collection, I wish I would have. I picked up this one and a red sparkly called Saucy. I'll find out the collection name and update as soon as I can.

Anyway, this one jumped out at me because I saw it was a subtle dupchrome. Got it home, pulled it out and it looked like someone ha stolen the pink! Stupid lighting! Below are the swatches.

First finger is naked, Middle has black underwear, Ring has OPI Ink for underwear and the pinky has South Sea Pearl underneath. These pictures don't capture the true pink beauty. It looks like Revlon Carbonite or Chanel Graphite, when the pink kicks in it is like someone put a sheer coat of Funky Fingers Favorite Girl over top. I really like this over a dark base.

Excuse my messy fingers....i just finished swatching lots of glitters....

Revlon Smoldering Gray/Silver view....similar to Chanel Graphite perhaps?

OPI - Man of La Mancha

Multichrome

I have had this beauty sitting in my melmer, gathering dust...what a waste! I pulled it out to use it as a base for Ozotic 531...when I put this one I was in awe. Why have I not heard about this polish? Why are people not scouring eBay and blog sales for it? It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!

Technical details, this is 2 coats on a naken nail...no 'underwear' as I've heard it called! Although it was recommended to me to put this over black or something dark. Enjoy the pics below, I think you will agree that it is spectacular 'naked' ;)

These were all taken under a compact fluorescent bulb, just at different angles...get...your...bibs!!!!!!

Ozotic 507 - Gold to Green Color Shift

 Ozotic 507
(Green to Gold Color Shift)

This ... polish.....is....ah-mazing! I love this polish! Keep in mind that the pictures below have no top coat, this is purely the polish. The color shift is GORGEOUS and to top it off, it is an almost perfect dupe of Chanel Peridot at half the price!


As always, I will let the pictures and video speak for this polish....I have three coats on overtop of a clear base. No top coat as I was doing a swatch-a-thon, but when I wore it I used Seche Vite and it was FAB!

I got this bottle at an amazing price through my friend Stephanie who is a distributor for Ozotic polishes here in the states. These come from Australia. I was fortunate enough to get to hang out and polish shop with Stephanie yesterday!! She also brought me yet another Ozotic, #531....keep watching for that one!!!

Kleancolor Chunky Holo collection

Ok, so I saw someone post about Kleancolor Chunky Holo Bluebell....scrounged through ebay and found the entire collection. I think I paid around $22, give or take, for the entire collection, including PRIORITY shipping. This seller was AWESOME and shipped super fast. She was only missing one color at the time, so I messaged her. She responded FAST that she would have it in that next day (maybe I was just lucky with my timing!) so I bought the last color on Saturday...today is Wednesday and it arrived! So I highly recommend her, you can go directly to hte ebay posting HERE...and if someday this link no longer works, her ebay ID is 27kitten

I have the entire 9 color collection and swatched them. Below are the videos and pictures that I took for you all. Don't miss the videos at the bottom!!!! Enjoy!!

 

 L-R: Candy, Poppy, Fuchsia, Scarlett, Clover, Teal, Purple, Bluebell & Black
