zomg 150 (!!!) New Nfu-Oh colors

The wonderful Jocelyn of the Fabulous Street Nfu-Oh online store has allowed me to share her images of the 150 (yes, 150!) new Nfu-Oh colors with you. I am so excited by these. Click the images to enlarge.

Aren't they gorgeous? I'm having a major case of the lemmings here. I can't wait for Jocelyn to get them in stock.

The price of Nfu-Oh is unfortunately going up to $12.50 (that makes me a sad panda), but they are so totally worth it. I've asked Jocelyn to pre-order 133, 146, 158, 163, 173, 181, 255, 260, and 278 for me, and I will share them with you as soon as I get them. And no, I'm not affiliated with Fabulous Street or Nfu (though I totally wish I was!), I just think Jocelyn is the bomb.

Swatch Party! Eyeko, Nubar Sweet Nothings, and Hong Kong Glitters

Hi peeps! I finally got around to swatching some polishes on my lemming wheel. The glitters are one coat, Eyekos two coats, and Nubars 3 coats.

Click to enlarge:

1: Eyeko Disco - Dense silver glitter
2: Eyeko Red - Tomato red creme (love this one!)
3: Eyeko Pastel - Baby blue with subtle teal shimmer
4: Eyeko Pretty - Baby pink creme
5: HK Glitter Fuchsia
6: HK Glitter Purple
7: HK Glitter Multi
8: HK Glitter Copper/peach
9: HK Glitter Gold
10: HK Glitter Blue
11: HK Glitter Teal
12: HK Glitter Silver
13: Nubar Candy Apple
14: Nubar Lemon Drop Dazzle
15: Nubar Strawberry Punch
16: Nubar Peach Sherbet
17: Nubar Iced Licorice
18: Nubar Cotton Candy

First lets talk about the Eyeko polishes. It took forever for them to deliver, but the polishes them selves do deliver! They have great pigmentation (there's only two coats on the lemming wheel) and application, and the brush is not as annoying as it looks. I'll definitely be ordering the two last Eyeko polishes. They are £3.00 at http://www.eyeko.com/ and shipping is free!

I'm not as thrilled about the Hong Kong Glitters (I think the brand might be called "HQ", but I'm not sure). I bought these from Paul Lee Design on ebay. The polishes are very cheap, but shipping is expensive. They smell REALLY BAD. A nasty, chemical smell that will eat your brain. Honestly I'm afraid of putting them on my nail. Ingredients weren't listed on the bottles, so I have no idea what's in them.

The Nubars are from the Sweet Nothings Collection. I've talked about that collection earlier, because I wanted Iced Licorice. The other colors looked nice as well, so I picked up the collection pack. The colors are somewhat sheer but buildable. The lemming wheel shows 3 coats. They have very nice micro glitter. I'm excited to see how they will compare with the China Glaze summer collection.

More Impossible Lemmings - Oops! J

Just what I needed in the new year - more impossible-to-get lemmings. This time it's the Singaporean nail polish brand Oops! J. lol at the idiotic name, but I still want them :( The website says: "Apply it on your nails and be reborn into a princess, attracting envious stares!!" Dude! That is so me.

The Skin Boutique in Singapore sells them and they look sort of expensive. I'm also just not feeling up to being slammed with a huge customs fee for ordering these. Maybe some day they will pop up on ebay.

The Lemming Has Landed: Nfu-Oh Cuticle Oils

Yes! I got my Nfu-Oh cuticle oils from ebay queen fabulous_nails:

Mango, Rose, Peppermint, and Vanilla.

I don't know if they're any good yet. I'm way too busy staring at them!

Zoya's Spring Collection 2009: Twist

Zoya's spring collection "Twist" is now up for pre-order on www.artofbeauty.com. Some of them look very promising. I like the look of "Jo" (shimmeing silver blue metallic) and "Cassi" (soft shimmering peach). I hope Cassi has golden shimmer, but I'm not sure it (she?) does.

Mmmm Lippmann Lemmings

Hope you all had a fantabolous christmas with lots of lovely food and presents. Here are a couple of recent lemmings from the Lippmann Holiday Collection. I should be recieving these two shortly if all goes to plan (woot woot).

"Superstar" to the left and "Holiday" to the right

Superstar consists of dense copper glitters in a light brown base, while Holiday is a red jelly with pinkisk/purplish glitter. Does that sound hot or what?

Check out the amazing swatches at Polish Addict or All Laquered Up!

OPI South Beach Collection

Another new collection from OPI. This one is for summer 2009 and unfortunately it doesn't look all that special to me. Click on a picture to see a larger version.

I might be interested in Done Out in Deco and Miami Beet. The browns in this collection look like poop.

Another one for the Lemming List: Nubar Iced Liquorice

Yum:

To get it here in Denmark; I would have to buy the whole "Sweet Nothings" collection... which I probably will....

China Glaze Romantique and Summer Days - I no can haz?

Romantique is the spring collection from China Glaze. I'm not really lemming it ... ok, maybe "Admire" but the finish looks like a hassle to me.

I feel quite differently about Summer Days, the summer collection. This is a huge lemming. The glass flecked glitter looks absolutely amazing (lol at the promo pic though).

Fab, eh?

My Biggest Lemming: Nfu-Oh Cuticle Oils and more

Lemming (from Urban Dictionary): A lemming refers to a purchase/wished-for-item which results from reading an enthusiastic post about a new fabulous product. Overcome by compulsion, readers follow like lemmings diving off a cliff.

Lemming:

Cute, right?

Now here is my biggest lemming:

Lets have another one:

Beeeeeaaaauuuuuutil. These gorgeous little lemmings are Nfu-Oh Cuticle Oils. I believe the green one is Peppermint and the red one is Rose. Ahhhhhhh, look at the packaging:

In my not very humble opinion, this is the most beautiful nail care/polish packaging on the market. There is only one problem (well except for that thing about them costing money and all): The only place I can buy them is in New Zealand and it costs a lot to have them shipping. On top of that I'd had to pay a horrendeous fee + customs + toll.... No thanks. I have contacted my ebay Nfu-Oh pusher to see if she can get a hold of them. I still have hope!

Update: My Nfu pusher informed me that she can indeed get a hold of the cuticle oils. If you are interested; I suggest contacting her through ebay.
