April Haul

This month I did a swap with Nail Loopy from the UK. Here are the goodies she sent me:


Nicole by O.P.I - Holiday's Glaze
Nicole by O.P.I - Holly-Pop Red
GOSH - Gasoline
GOSH - Ocean



Deborah - Lippmann - Razzle Dazzle
Max Factor - Fantasy Fire
FCUK - Unnamed Purple/Blue Shimmer



Revlon - Stormy
Sally Hansen HD - Hue
Barry M - Mint Green


Thanks so much Nail Loopy! I love them all!

I'll be trying the GOSH polishes first. I'll have to find a good base for Fantasy Fire. I had a look at my blues but I don't think I have one that will look right. I know Revlon - Royal is a good match but it's a bit pricey. Does anyone have another suggestion for a good base for Fantasy Fire?

  1. It seems Ulta3 Orchid is a good base colour for FF.

  6. Oh so lucky, the ellusive Fantasy Fire is yours!! I would like that one someday!! I bought Ulta3 Hollywood on the weekend, it is a lovely royal blue leaning navy, it could be good undies for FF.

    1. OMG I'd forgotten about that sale! Thanks for reminding me! I just ran down to the one near my work but they didn't have Royal. I'm going to try another one on the way home! :) *Crosses fingers*

    2. Went to another Priceline on the way home and picked up Royal and Scandalous (Facets of Fuchsia), thanks again! :)

  8. I've been fretting about FF underwear too! At the moment I'm thinking about using a really old Sportsgirl purple with little red and blue sparkles... maybe I'll paint stripes on a plastic nail and try out FF over a bunch of polishes at once? The bottle is just soooo tiny! :(

    1. Not sure if you saw the comment above (I only just approved it) but Priceline has a Revlon sale buy 1 get one free! I checked the Central Priceline but they don't have Royal. I'm going to try another Priceline so hopefully I can find it.
