Lacquistry Aqua Shredded- Two Different Ways!

Happy Mardi Gras to those of you who celebrate it! I don't celebrate it but I think I have a pretty fun mani for you anyways! =D  

I was planning on putting on Lacquistry Aqua Shredded again, this time over black (if you missed my first post on Lacquistry Aqua Shredded you can see it HERE). However, I had on my Max Factor Fantasy Fire (from yesterday's post) and decided to see what it would look like over the FF. I actually didn't care for it. LOL I did get some compliments on it though so I have included pics of it.  

I then took it off and put on Aqua Shredded over OPI Black Onyx. O.M.G. I am in love. I liked this combo so much that I ended up putting it on my toes as well. I will show you the pics over black first and then over Fantasy Fire.

This is 2 coats of OPI Black Onyx, 2 coats of Aqua Shredded, 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite. You will notice on my ring finger that I had a shard sticking up. I didn't notice it until after I took the pics. I clipped it off with nail clippers and added 1 more coat of SV and it was all smooth.

It's that combo amazeballs?! I love it!! Now for the Aqua Shredded over Fantasy Fire. I like it but I don't love it like I thought I would. What do you think?

Lacquistry can be purchased on Etsy. The lovely creator Jenna is having to take a little break right now while she catches up on orders. You can find her direct link HERE, where you can also ask to be notified by email when she re-opens.

Max Factor Fantasy Fire Part 2!

I hope you aren't sick of seeing Max Factor Fantasy Fire across the interwebs! LOL This is my second post on FF. If you remember my first post then you will remember I promised pics over black. It is amazing how different this polish looks over black than it did over Barry M Indigo!

FF is exclusively sold in the UK, I owe mine to my friend Denise, thanks so much!!! If you want one you need to become friends with someone in the UK or go there yourself. LOL
 It's late and I need to get to bed so let's get to the pics, shall we? 

This is 2 coats of FF over 2 coats of OPI Black Onyx.

Isn't it amazing how different this looks over black? I want to put it over EVERYTHING now! LOL I need at least one backup bottle! Did I mention how TINY the bottle is?! It's teeny, trust me.

Max Factor Fantasy Fire

Hello lovelies!! Any of my US girls watching the Superbowl? I am half-watching while blogging. LOL Anyways, today I have an amazing polish!!! Have you heard of Max Factor Fantasy Fire? It is supposed to be a dupe for the much sought-after (and VERY expensive) Clarins 230. I don't have Clarins 230 but from the pics I have seen this comes pretty darn close!! 

I put it over my previous post of Barry M Indigo. I love it over Indigo but I wish I had put it over black instead, I WILL be doing that sometime this week, so stay tuned for that!! I think putting it over black will make it look even more like a Clarins dupe since it will give it the full range of color shift. I will also link a couple of my friend's blog posts at the bottom of this one. They put it over different colors with even different results.

This applied very well, no application issues at all. The bottle is TEENY so the brush is also teeny. LOL So the bristles are short but they weren't hard to work with. This is 2 coats over Indigo, no topcoat.

Some of these pictures weren't the best, I apologize for that. My camera has been having a lot of issues lately. 

Fantasy Fire is only available in the UK, I received mine from my friend Denise, she was such a sweetheart to get it for me. Thank you Denise!!

Here are the bonus posts I promised you!!
