More Polish- Mirrorball 'Hot Stuff', Max Factor fantasy fire and Rimmel Matte top coat

I've done it again...every shopping trip I go on I manage to come back with at least 3 nail polishes :/ Though in all honesty, three of the four I picked up have been ones I've wanted for a while, and the fourth was a colour I don't have in my collection. And as it was 3 for 2 in Boots...would be rude not to


NOTE: please excuse the poor photos. I broke my camera and am waiting for it to be fixed, so am relying on my phone for pics!


Mirrorball 'Hot Stuff'

I wasn't completely sold on all the colours in the Mirrorball collection- Freak out (blue glitter) and Boogie nights (purple glitter) didn't massively appeal to me. So I decided to buy just a couple of the collection rather than paying £20 for the box set. Though I'm not usually a pink glittery sort of girl I am loving 'Hot stuff' as it has a mix of pink and gold glitter as well as bigger pink flakes in different colours. Again I have swatched it over a couple of different shades to show the effects.

Max Factor 'Fantasy Fire'

This has caught my eye many times, but for some reason I never got round to purchasing. It comes out a lot sheerer than I anticipated, but layered over a blue or purple polish still looks pretty impressive, shining blue, purple, turquoise and golden pink. As a duochrome it's pretty hard to capture the beautiful colours on camera, but here's a few shots in different lights so you can get an idea:

H&M Nail Polish

I've never bought a polish from H&M as there were never any colours that particularly caught my eye. However, as I was queuing at the till to pay for another purchase, this one stood out to me as one I didn't have in my collection. Its a lovely cobalt blue not quite as vibrant and shiny as Nails Inc Baker Street, but not a bad bargain equivalent- £2.99

Attempts to get the true colour depicted on camera!

EDIT: I wasn't initially that impressed with this, but my photos actually do it no justice- on the nails its pretty darn similar to Baker Street, much more vibrant and a much nicer shade than I've been able to capture on camera

Rimmel Pro Matte Finish Topcoat

I wasn't sure about the matte look for quite a while. But recently I've loved seeing the different looks it can create on various tumblr pictures so thought I'd also give it a go. I particularly love it over black polish with a metallic or glitter tip as a contrast. Will be posting some ways to use it soon.
