Layering with Fantasy Fire!

The highly sought after Max Factor Fantasy Fire was released in Australia recently, and I HAD to grab it! I ended up getting 2, but I will definitely go back for more, because those bottles are so darn small!

The first time I wore it, I put it over Barry M Navy (I think it was 2 coats Navy, and one coat FF) and it looked lovely!


 But today, I layered it over Petites Zodiac, and WOW! 




This is 3 coats of Zodiac, and one of FF, topped with SV. My camera spazzed out, and couldn't capture the awesome sparkliness that this mani has. The glass flecky goodness of Zodiac mixes perfectly with the multichrome shimmer of FF.

I now want to layer FF over EVERYTHING! Yup, gonna have to grab a few more jars!

Until Next Time,

Gloss n' Sparkle Unicorn Droppings Swatches and Review

Hey hey! Sorry for my slight absence of late, it's been a hectic week, and to cap it all off, I've gone and gotten sick! Anywhoo, today I have another of my Gloss n' Sparkle reviews for you, and I KNOW that this one is going to be a best seller! And, it's also totally appropriate because I have two birthday shindigs this weekends (Happy Birthday Cienna and Louise!) and it's such a party colour!






HOW COOL IS THAT?! It's a sheer, but buildable white white base packed with red, orange, yellow, blue, green and purple hex glitter. But I was surprised to see that it's also packed with holographic shimmer! Whaaaaaaat?! I struggled to capture it, because I struggled to get any sunlight, but it's definitely there!

I mentioned that this was sheer, but buildable. And it is. This is 3 coats, with 2 coats of SV (I didn't need the 2nd coat, I just did it because I prefer 2). It dried quickly, but I suggest waiting until each coat is dry before doing the next, because the glitter may move. I didn't have any trouble with the glitter application either, it was easy.

My favourite thing though, is the name. This is exactly what Unicorn poop should look like. It's bright, majestical and fun.

Gloss n' Sparkle polishes retail for $10AUD each (13ml jars), and are all 3-free. She currently doesn't ship overseas, but is working on it!

What do you think of Unicorn Droppings?

Until Next Time!

Butter London Fash Pack

Happy Friday everyone! I'm using a nice, neutral colour today, and it's my new favourite neutral!

Butter London Fash pack is a smooth, chocolatey looking brown creme with gold shimmer.







The first picture is much more colour accurate. Notice the huge amount of shimmer in the jar? Sadly, it doesn't transfer to the nail much at all :(

This is 2 coats, and one coat of BYS UV Topcoat (my new favourite btw! So awesome!). It's very pigmented, and I could have just worn one coat, but I did a second coat for these photos. formula is good, thin but not watery, and very manageable. And, the dry time is good too, nice and quick!

It does lobster my hands a little, but it's so pretty I have to forgive it! I'm digging the neutrals atm, suggest some good ones for me to look at?

Until Next Time

A England Perceval

Hello again! Still scheduled, hoping to be back soon!

Today, I have another A England, Perceval. Gorgeous, silky, glowing deep red shimmer. Another jar of perfection. Easily one of my favourite A Englands. And that's saying something!


Perceval is such a smooth, sexy red. It has great application, covers in two coats, but you can get away with one if you're careful!


A England polishes all dry very quickly, and are all super shiny. I have to admit, I've been very slack with posting this one, I got it in January! But I've worn it multiple times, it's one of my favourite reds!


Can you see how it glows in the sunlight?! It's such an intense red. This is the only non-holo A England I have, and it was my first one!


Best red ever? Maybe! I'll have to do a comparison of my favourites!


Until Next Time!
