Today is my husband's birthday, but he's still great enough to hunt down nail polish with me. We initially went into Boots, who have the Max Factor mini polishes on 3 for 2, they had some beautiful colours, but alas, no Fantasy Fire. So off we went to Superdrug...and they had it! I'm not ashamed to say I bought all three bottles straight off the shelf. Much.
Here it is:

| Can't. Look. Away. |

| A tiny hint of all the colours this holds |

| It's a mini bottle, I just have tiny hands |
What I used:
- Nails Inc Kensington Caviar basecoat
- Nails Inc Basil Street (1 coat)
- Max Factor Max Effect in Fantasy Fire (about 5 coats!!)
- Seche Vite topcoat
Now, I'm willing to say, there are a few downsides with this gorgeous polish. I'm just going to give you a rundown of what I see to be the good and the bad.
- It's unbelievably sheer. As you can see, I layered it over a coat of nude polish just to get started, and still used 4-5 coats and it's still more sheer than I'd like.
- The bottle is tiny, and when you're using this much it won't last long. It's £3.99.
- The brush is tiny, obviously, and hard to paint with.
- Just look at it. It's literally jumped straight into my top 5 favourite polishes of all time.
- The colour reminds me of Dairy Milk chocolate wrappers...
- It's wonderfully shiny.
- Again, just look. In all honesty, it's a million times nicer in real life. My crappy iPhone photography skills won't let me capture the shades of red, gold, green, blue, purple...
I think I'm in love. Thank you Liloo.
