Yay! It’s the ABC Challenge time again! This week we are all doing letter F and I can’t wait to see what everyone is doing with that one. I know there was some interesting ideas in the air a few days ago ;) Before I get to the point I just want to say thanks to all the awesome ladies in this group for making this challenge so much fun and I’m very happy to have met you all in this online world :))
Now let’s get to the point, shall we? For the letter F I chose Max Factor Fantasy Fire and then I decided to throw in a third F in a form of a feather. I used Elevation Polish Pic De Sotllo (I’ll write a post about this too soon), a very bright vibrant blue creme as a base for Fantasy Fire. That blue base really brought out the multichrome beauty in this one. Then I applied two coats of Fantasy Fire and Inm Out The Door top coat. I added a feather over the wet top coat and let it dry for a bit. Then added a couple of more coats of Inm on top of the feather and let dry again. In the end I cut off the part of feather that reached over the tip and filed the tip of the nail smooth, then sealed it with Inm. The feather stayed on perfectly for 2+ days.
I apologize for the crappy cell phone photos, but my regular camera just completely freaked out with Fantasy Fire and refused to capture any of the awesomeness. I’ve noticed that my iPhone 4S can capture the difficult colors much more accurately.
Not crappy photos at all!! I can see the awesomeness on your nails! Great pick for this challenge ;)
Thank you :)
Ooämgee! Aivan älyttömän upeat! Kauneimmat FF-kynnet, jotka oon tähän mennessä nähnyt, eikä oo muuten ekat. Mahtava idea yhdistää höyhen tähän, sopii kuin nenä päähän :).
Kiitos Sannu :) Tykkäsin itekin tuosta höyhenestä. Pitää kokeilla niitä vielä vaaleamman pohjan päälle ja niin ettei peitä koko kynttä :) Ostin askartelukaupasta pussillisen jossa on 40 höyhentä, muutamaa eri väriä ja hinta oli vähän päälle euron.
I love the feather accent nail, very beautiful! Really want to try out Fantasy Fire for myself now :D
Thanks Lariesa :)
The blue underneath does really bring out the multichrome shimmers on FF! :D It's lovely!
I think the blue base is the best option for this polish :)
Oh wow that looks fantastic, very clever!!
Thank you :)
Beautiful! And I think you're winning with three F's, lol. I just bought Fantasy Fire and am dying for it to get here…and this isn't helping!
Thanks! Be sure to show some photos of it too :)
Fantasy Fire is just beautiful…and that blue is just stunning.
Thanks :)
Oh man, that feather is so cute! I love how it looks with Fantasy Fire. Great job :)
Thank you Aly :)
Love this color and the feather!
Thanks!
Fantasy Fire is amazing! And your feather looks perfect. I tried a feather mani and it was a complete failure! lol.
Thank you Sarah :)
Ihanat, täytyy kyllä lakata tuolla joskus. Tosi hyviä kuvia, en ole Lumialla kokeillut millaisia kuvia tulee..
Kiitos :) Tuo puhelin kuvaa jopa neon pinkin lakan aika oikean värisenä. Noissa hankalissa väreissä se on ihan kätevä, mutta ei sillä mitään hirmu tarkkoja kuvia saa.
My mobile phone does the same! It captures duochromes and holos much better than my camera for some reason!
FF is just amazing over blue!
Thanks! I wonder why that is, a cell phone cam takes better pics than a regular one :O
Wow, Ria…that feather technique is lovely. It works perfectly with your blue base and FF.
Fabulous job!!!
Happy Valentines Day, sweetie! :)

Fantasy Fire is beautiful! I have it in my untrieds box, I'm waiting for better light conditions so I can use it and take nice pictures.
Thank you for your comment Unknown lady LOL. Can't wait to see it on your gorgeous nails!
The feathers go very well with fantasy fire!! Awesome manicure.
Thank you :))
