Max Factor's Max Effect in Fantasy Fire!!!
<3 Love Love Love!!! <3
My favorite thing today is my DIY manicure with Max Factor's Max Effect Fantasy Fire nail polish. I fell head over heels for Fantasy Fire, thanks to all the bloggers out there who shared their photos and views of this gorgeous polish. I've been fortunate to come by this wonderful polish, as it is nearly impossible to get here in the US. This is the polish also called by nail bloggers the world over as 'Unicorn Pee' because it is so rare and mystically magical! I know, I know: the nickname gives quite the image! :/ At any rate, many thanks to a contact in the UK for helping me in this polish hunt!
Fantasy Fire is a holographic polish from Max Factor's Max Effect series. Fantasy Fire is a multi-faceted polish with all the hues and colors imaginable; it changes colors depending on how the light hits your nails! This is the polish also called by nail bloggers the world over as 'Unicorn Pee' because it is so rare and mystically magical! (I know, I know, the nickname gives quite the image! :/ Colors appear ranging from a rich burgundy to a coppery chocolate to a passionate plum to an intense green glow. It is intended as a top coat to be used with undies (polish colors underneath). Max Effect polishes come in tiny bottles, so they must be used sparingly; which is difficult when you love Fantasy Fire as much as I do! Luckily it is going on 4 days with no chips and still looks like a brand new manicure! Have a look below and see what you think.

D: The bottle is as tiny as my thumb!
I created a black cherry base with 2 colors combined to use as undies for Fantasy Fire. I used polish colors pictured above for this DIY manicure, listed below in order I applied to my nails.
- Sally Hansen Diamond Shine base coat
- A dark greenish black by Opi (I've had it a while, the name isn't readable any longer.)
- Avon's Cherry Jubilee
- Max Factor's Max Effect Fantasy Fire (2 coats)
- Seche Vite top coat (BTW my favorite top coat that has a nearly wet appearance. It bonds with your color polish creating a solid and long lasting manicure.)
- Wet n Wild's Wild Shine in clear (I added this a day later because I love the wet look.)
The iridescent shows up well here.
The green really stands out in these 2 photos.
All these wonderfully gorgeous colors in this tiny little bottle!
Hopefully you can see the shimmering flecks of sparkle in this close up.
I hope you're able to see the wonderful spectrum of color Fantasy Fire polish gives in these photos. I absolutely adore this polish and I am thoroughly enjoying this DIY manicure. Fantasy Fire nail polish is definitely one of my favorite things! What do you think about it?
I'm anxiously awaiting Max Factor's Max Effect Dazzling Blue. I can hardly wait to apply it to my nails and post all about it!
Until next post, happy blogging! =)
