Max Factor - Fantasy Fire (over Kiko #335)

Good morning, ladies (and gentlemen :) )!

I want to apologize for not posting more regulary. You know, my country is going through a very difficult period and nowadays our life is far from being "normal". I feel stressed every day, I watch and read so much news about all that is happening. Then I open my blog and just can't collect my thoughts and concentrate on the blog as much as I'd want to... Though I still love nail polish and I'm not planning to quit blogging :).

Today's nail polish is well-known and maybe already forgotten Max Factor Fantasy Fire.
I have to thank dear Aly for helping me to get this gem! :-*
Fantasy Fire is a purple jelly nail polish with gorgeous multichrome shimmer that shifts red/gold/green.
It's quite sheer to wear on its own, but it's a great polish for layering.
I used 1 coat of Fantasy Fire (without top coat) over Kiko #335 (Blu Inchiostro).
Drying time was quick.

Thank you for reading! <3

OPI - Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs

TGIF!
I'm in the purple mood lately, so why not to show you a pretty purple shimmer OPI Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs which I got from Taya :).
Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs was a part of the OPI Germany Collection.
Brush strokes are visible, but I wouldn't call application problematic. Drying time was good.
You can see 3 thin coats on my nails (without top coat).

Orly - Fowl Play

Hi everyone!
Orly Fowl Play is a purple jelly base packed with orange/yellow/green flakies, blue glitter and tiny silver particles.
Fowl Play was a part of the Birds Of A Feather Collection.
Application and drying time were ok. I used 2 coats for my manicure (+ top coat).
This nail polish looks so gorgeous in RL, but my camera (or me :D ) failed to picture it in all its glory.

Golden Rose Rich Color #41

Golden Rose Rich Color #41 is a lovely purple creme nail polish.
I don't have any complaints about application and drying time.
One thick coat might be enough for opacity, but I used 2 by force of habit (without top coat).
I also tried to do a drag marble, but I failed miserably, so I'll show you only swatches :D.
Thank you for reading!

Golden Rose Holiday #58

Hi there! :)
For today I have for you swatches of the last Golden Rose Holiday nail polish that I own. This is #58 - an inky based textured nail polish with gorgeous shimmer.
Application, drying time and longevity were great (I love my GR Holiday nail polishes!).
I did 2 swatching sessions, but still wasn't satisfied with the photos because this polish looks less brown and more beautiful in RL :).
I used 2 coats for my manicure.

Nogotok Style Color #199

Nogotok updated their whole range of nail polishes back in spring 2012, but I was able to buy them only this spring. They were simply not sold in my town (I live in the town with 500,000 + population!) and there's also no way to buy their nail polishes online. I would understand this situation if it was a foreign brand, but Nogotok is Ukrainian brand...
Anyway today I want to show you Nogotok Style Color #199. It is a brownish purple base with a gorgeous blue shimmer.
Application was ok and drying time was regular.
I used 3 thin coats and a layer of top coat for my swatches.
