Why is fantasy fire so special?

Because it's a dupe of a Clarins colour known as 'Unicorn Pee' lol!! Also, it's not available in the US, so it's very highly sought after by American bloggers HTH

Grrr.

Just spent ages trying to photo my Excuse Moi nails and they are not playing ball.
Best of a bad bunch below; but niether do the polish justice.

Its actually quite a subtle colour - if a pink jelly with multi coloured glitter can be called subtle.



As always excuse the pants nails.

Oh my Boots have stacks of it, so I just bought it. Lol. Maybe I should have bought a couple to EBay to the US market

Did my nails yesterday in a lightish colour with Nubar 2010 topcoats and it looked nothing special . Today did Sally Hansen Haute Chocolat , (£1 ) a deep chocolate , 2 coats of Nubar and it looks very good . Just like the photo in a previous post with glints of bronze, red , green . I love it and will enjoy trying it over various colours . Thanks for the great idea !

Just found a new way to use my NV. Nail polish rings. I've ordered an Opti-Art ring kit from amazon. You paint the base of the clear gems & stick them to a ring finding. Tadaa! One custom ring . If you google it, there are some lovely examples out there

Where the hell are my bundle monster plates Mr Amazon? Had a carp day at work today and was hoping to do a giraffe print to cheer me up. It's been two whole days since I ordered them and I simply can't wait any longer.

I've been wearing this for the past couple of days - I had no idea that it was a desirable colour lol! Have to say I was a bit unimpressed with it, it needed at least four coats to look anything like the bottle and it's a lot 'bluer' than you'd think. It's growing on me and in some lights it looks really pretty, but it's a bit 'meh'.

I am however really lusting after the China Glaze 'Hunger Games' collection - especially Harvest Moon, Stone Cold and Luxe and Lush. Just need to work up the courage to order some off ebay

I think that might be best ... I really should wait - then I can buy an extra one instead of paying postage!

I have just taken the Fantasy Fire off and redone my nails with Rimmel's 'Hot Shot' (a bright pink) with black crackle over. It looks quite good, the crackles are hard to get the hang of but I'm definitely getting better at them. I think you just have to be brave and go for it.
