Review: Fierce Polish Jewelry

My friend Nory from Fierce Makeup and Nails is not only an amazing blogger and all-around cool chick, she also runs her very own polish jewelry shop on Etsy: Fierce Polish Jewelry! I've ordered jewelry from Nory in the past, both for myself and as a gift, so when she asked me to do a review, I jumped at the chance! Nory's shop offers nail polish earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings. I have several pairs of earrings and a ring to share with you today.

First up, let's take a look at the earrings! I have quite a few in my collection now, all custom orders using some of my favorite polishes. You can buy pre-made jewelry or shop Nory's stash to have her make a custom creation for you. It's super fun going through her collection and coming up with different combinations. You can pick specific polishes or give Nory a certain idea or look you're going for and she'll make it happen. She has just about every type, brand and color of polish you can imagine, so the possibilities are endless! Here is my collection.

The earrings feel comfortable throughout a whole day of wear and the stoppers don't slip off or slide around; a pet peeve of mine for studs. I wear these constantly to work. They are fun and colorful without being gaudy or distracting.

Here are shots of me (or, y'know, just my ear) wearing the earrings to give you an idea of how they look on and what size the different shapes are. Oh, and for the record, trying to take a picture of your own ear feels really weird.

Next up, we have the ring! I had it made with one of my favorite polishes: Butter London No More Waity, Katie. The ring is also adjustable, so you can easily fit it to your hand. I like my rings a bit on the snug side and I was able to get a perfect fit. A lot of times adjustable rings can feel a bit flimsy to me, but this one is nice and sturdy.

I had to use some strategic angles here so my *gasp* naked nails wouldn't show!

Nory's creations are a fun, unique way to rock some of your favorite polishes. Be ready for weird looks though when you tell people who ask about your jewelry that it's made of nail polish! :) Nory does gorgeous work for some of best prices on Etsy! Earrings are $4 a pair, rings are $5 and bracelets and necklaces are $10. She also works lightning fast and ships very quickly. You can order Fierce Polish Jewelry at Nory's Etsy shop.

Max Factor Fantasy Fire

Max Factor Fantasy Fire was never released in America, but that hasn't stopped plenty of us from getting our hands on this widely acknowledged Clarins 230 (a.k.a. "Unicorn Pee") dupe. I got mine in a swap with my girl Tara from Polishy of Truth! I could try to describe to you what Fantasy Fire looks like, but I think it's much better just to let the pictures do the talking for this one. This is two coats of Fantasy Fire over two coats of my favorite black creme, Rimmel Black Satin. I highly suggest enlarging these pictures!

 Indoors, with flash:

 Bottle pr0n:

DROOL. This polish has so many sides to it, all of them drop-dead gorgeous. This is one of those car crash polishes--you know, the ones you keep staring at while you drive. I don't think photos can do any justice to just how complex and beautiful Fantasy Fire really is. I tried to show some of the different colors you can see in it, but really nothing replicates the magic of watching the colors in it shift and sparkle before your eyes. If you have the chance to snag this incredible polish, DO. IT. You won't regret it one teeny tiny bit!
