Revlon Royal Makes a Summer Appearance

Are there any darker coloured polishes that you would wear in the Summer and pretty much all year round? Well, for me, one of those polishes is Revlon Royal! Predominantly what would be considered a Fall colour, for me it's just one of those colours that I would even wear to the beach (if I lived anywhere the beach)! That may be because it's a polish that we can't get in the UK but even if we could, I think I'd love it all the same!

I love Revlon Royal on it's own but how fantastic does it look with a coat of Max Factor Fantasy Fire? It's a match made in polish heaven!

Apologies for the quality of these pictures. I took them late at night and although I used my lamp as I usually do, for some reason they came out quite dark and full of shadows!

This was also the perfect opportunity for me to wear my Revlon Royal/ Max Factor FF ring that my friend Cassie (IG: cassgooner) made for me. Isn't it gorgeous?

Thanks for reading and commenting!

My very own Unicorn Pee - Max Factor Fantasy Fire

I managed to get my hands on the new "it" polish - Max Factor Fantasy Fire. To be honest, I don't buy many Max Factor polishes so when I saw this polish a few weeks ago whilst browsing in Superdrug, I thought it was beautiful but didn't really think much else of it! Then it started creating a stir in the blogging world. All of a sudden, I can't find a bottle anywhere and it's already selling on Ebay for £13.99! What??!! It's only £3.99 in the shop and they usually do 3 for 2 offers! Or was... as it's sold out in the three shops I went to and online.

You're probably heard that it's a Clarins 230 (a.k.a Unicorn Pee) dupe. I don't own Clarins 230, I would love to have one but would never be willing to pay the exorbitant amounts asked for it, so I'm extremely happy to own a bottle of Fantasy Fire! Finally we get a really cool and coveted polish in the UK!

Fantasy Fire is a purple based jelly full of shimmer and there's quite a bit of colour shifting going on (copper, green, red, maroon, gold etc) but these pics were taken under a lamp last night so I found it impossible to capture all the colours! The colours you get also depend on your base colour. Maybe a medium purple or blue jelly would create more colour shifts.

This is one coat of Fantasy Fire over CND Midnight Sapphire. Two coats of Fantasy Fire would probably give you more depth and make it look more dramatic.
