Happy Saturday my lacquered lovelies!! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend :) A while back I won a giveaway from the fabulous Crystal of Crystal's Crazy Combos. In the amazing package I received some fabulous goodies including Darling Diva Ringer! Which is a dupe for Clarins 230 and Max Factor Fantasy Fire. Now I don't have either of these so I can't compare, but I have been lemming these like a madwoman! When Ringer first appeared I wanted to buy it, however at the time she was only shipping within the US. Now I believe she ships worldwide!
HOLY GORGEOUSNESS! I knew that this was the first one in the package I wanted to use. For this I layered it over 2 coats of Orly Royal Navy without shaking. Royal navy is a beautiful cobalt blue with a aqua shimmer, however if you let it sit all the shimmer sinks to the bottom and it is a perfect cobalt jelly. Ringer applied flawlessly and immediately I could see a gorgeous colour shift. Check out the green shift in the pic below!
Doesn't it look like it's glowing?!!?! This polish got me so distracted. I kept staring at it in the sun. I would be walking and just looking at my hands. Pretty sure people were staring at me. But I'm ok with that for this lovely polish.
I couldn't decide which pictures to include so I just included a lot. :D
Do you have any of these colour shifting type polishes? Are you are crazy about it as I am?
I need to thank Crystal once more for her awesome giveaway and for this beauty!
I hope you are all having a great Saturday! Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by!!!
I have yet to try Ringer over blue! Must try soon. :) Ringer is gorgeous, and it's really close to Fantasy Fire. I'm always so amazed by how much the shimmer in this polish glows.
Oooh! Nice! I haven't tried this one, but I ordered a different dupe from another etsy seller (Enkelini) called Lucky You. I've had it on all week and have had so many compliments. Like you, I can't stop staring at it in the sun. :)
I have Fantasy Fire, and that *totally* looks like a dupe. I absolutely LOVE it (and both European friends who were sweet enough to pick it up for me and ship it!) It's excellent that there are U.S. options for people who aren't lucky enough to have friends across the pond! ^_^
I really LOVE Fantasy Fire and have a few back up bottles lol. I too look like a madwoman, holding my hands at different angles to the sun, so that I can wonder over the colour changes lol
I abolutely love getting comments and truly appreciate and read everything you have to say! Every comment completely makes my day! That being said please be respectful and don’t leave any spam :)
