Max Factor - Fantasy Fire

Thursday, April 19, 2012  , , , , ,  19 comments


Max Factor  - Fantasy Fire
2 coats over Revlon Royal

Fantasy Fire is a red shimmer with a slight colour shift in a blue jelly base. It looks different on the nail than it does in the bottle. In the bottle it has an incredible colour shift. I really wish it looked like that on the nail too! It's still really pretty but just look at the colour shift in the bottle picture below!


Thanks for all your suggestions for what to layer Fantasy Fire over. I decided to try them on a nail wheel first. I used one coat of Fantasy Fire over each base.

You can see that Fantasy Fire on it's own is quite sheer. It looks quite pretty over Orchid and Lunar Eclipse. They would be my second and third base choices after Royal.

      Good luck! You can see what one coat of Fantasy Fire looks like on it's own in the nail wheel picture above. It's the first one. :)

    Looks like you found some great underwear options. Have you tried it over green at all? I'm wondering what it would be like over a dark green like SH Jumpin Jade.
    I have a couple of bottles on their way to me from the UK but it will be a while before they get here. I can't wait to play :)

      I almost tried it over green! not sure why I didn't in the end. If you swatch it over Jumpin Jade I'd love to see how it looks. I don't have that one. :)

    Great review, i didn't know it was so sheer. which is annoying considering its only a tiny bottle. Looks gorgeous layered. I wasn't lemming over this till your swatches haha.
