Max Factor "Fantasy Fire" over Illamasqua "Baptiste"

Hello, on this gloomy rainy Southern California day!

I have a treat for you! I finally got my hot hands on Max Factor "Fantasy Fire". This color is all the rage in the nail community because it is a close dupe of Clarins "230". Unfortunately it is not manufactured or available in the US, and can be found only in the UK at a store called "Boots". But thankfully, I have friends in far places, and I was lucky enough to have this color purchased for me and shipped to my door step, YAHOO!!!!!














Now...FF is okay on it's own with 3 or more coats, but it is best over another color. I choose the ever popular Illamasqua "Baptiste", and it was AMAZING!



























This is 2 coats of "Baptiste" and 1 coat of "Fantasy Fire".








































After 3 days and it was still awesome! ...and indoors...














It looks like burning embers in a slow burning fire! So cool!



























If you can get it, GET IT!!! That's all I'm sayin! LOL :)


Keep It Sweet!


Pin It!
