NOTD: Nfu-Oh #173 + Sinful #220 Green Ocean

My Nfu-Oh cremes seem to have seperated, and I can really shake the white color back into the colored polish :( Application is pretty poor too. I don't like the brush shape. I bought these right when Nfu-Oh introduced the creme series. Hopefully they have improved by now.

I decided to spice the manicure up with Sinful Green Ocean which is a more crappy version of the Nfu-Oh flakies:

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #65

I have yet to find a nail polish more holographic than the Nfu-Ohs. They are the most gorgeous polishes I have ever seen. They are also a pain to apply, and they don't wear very well, but I'm ok with that.

Just look at that holo!

NOTD: Nubar Orange Crème + Nfu-Oh #58

Wow, this almost turned into a major disaster. When I applied the first layer of the Nfu-Oh over the orange creme; it turned into a disgusting orangy brown poopy color. I was horrified and very tempted to grab the polish remover. Then I realized that I was way too lazy to redo my manicures, and I just did a couple more coats of the Nfu-Oh instead. That turned it into a more rusty brown manicure and a minor disaster instead of a major one. I'm not having much luck getting the green aspect of the flakies to show, but the bottom photo does show them a bit.

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #87

I think the Nfu-Oh #80-90 are quite sheer. This one is pretty sheer, I needed 4 coats to get nice coverage. The shimmer in this is so pretty.

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #59 over Nicole Razzle Dazzler

Nfu-Oh flakies over black is an almost 100% guarantee for a stunning manicure and #59 is no exception. The glitters are reddish golden, but do flash green in some lights. The base is a sheer red. It's like glowing amber on the nails. Love it!

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #158

This is another of the new Nfu-Oh cremes. I think the color is quite unique: it's a bright yellow with a hint of green. I don't have anything like it. Application was seriously weird. It was like the brush collection a huge amount of polish and then suddenly piled it onto my nails. Strange! I'm very happy with the end result though. Awesome color!

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #39 over Nubar Baby Pink

I was interviewed by Brooke who is one of my best polish pals. The interview has pictures of my snail. Check it out!

Onto the NOTD: I'm not impressed with this flakie polish. It's not one of the Nfu-Oh must-haves in my opinion. There just aren't enough flakes in the polish. You sort of have to fish them out. I used two coats of the Nfu over my Baby Pink mani and it gives a very subtle effect. The flakes appear transparent but then change color to green in bright light. My picture doesn't capture it, but if you look at the bottle; you can see the effect.

Since today's mani is sort of boring, here is a Bonus Kitteh Pic:

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #84 over China Glaze Cowgirl Up

I've been wanting to wear Nfu-Oh #84 for a while, but it seemed pretty sheer in the bottle. Since I wanted to wear Cowgirl Up for another day, I decided it would look great with a couple of coats of the Nfu. The Nfu has gorgeous golden and blue glitter. The blue is only visible in bright light.

And a blurry pic to show the colored glitter:

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #49 over Nicole by OPI Razzle Dazzler

Oh Nfu, your flakies are so pretty, especially over black. Nicole by OPI Razzle Dazzler is a great black for layering. It's very pigmented and the brush is great (I hate accidently painting my cuticles with a very dark color). I used one coat of Razzle Dazzler and two coats of Nfu-Oh #49 for this mani. It's super funky!

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #163

So this is the first of the new Nfu-Oh cremes I have tried. My first impression is that it is a little hard to work with. The formula is quite thick and a little hard to control. Pigmentation is decent, but not amazing. The picture is three coats. Overall I like it, but I don't think I love it.

Nfu-Oh, Precision, Korean makeup haul

Uhoh, it's haul time! This post is a combination of several hauls. First we have Precision nail polishes. Michelle was kind enough to help me get some of these. The labels on the bottles tend to fall off, but Michelle made little notes on each bottle. She also included a couple of other polishes. She's so nice!

I also got my new Nfu-Oh cremes from Fabulous Street! I'm very excited about these.

#158, #146, #163, #255

#260, #278, #133, #173

I was lucky enough to get a chance to meet with fellow nail polish fanatic Hanna fra Finland. Hanne is so nice. She brought me me Nails Inc jermyn street and Urban Decay Sin. Both absolutely gorgeous polishes. Also included in the pic is Nfu-Oh #36 which I didn't want to include with the cremes since it's a shimmer.

To make life even better, I recieved a couple of ebay hauls. I have a thing for Korean makeup and skincare, so that's what I ordered.

From ebay seller 031tansango I ordered Etude House BB Magic Chinaware Balm (read a review here), Etude House Pearl Shining Mineral Face Brightener (read a review here) and Skinfood Sweet Chocolate Cleansing Foam. This seller included A LOT of free samples. I've noticed that Korean ebayers often include great samples.

From ebay UK seller happyeve1015 I got two Laneige eyeshadows.

Here's a pic of the Etude House and Laneige items:

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #103

It seems that a lot of the time we seem to focus on the Nfu-Oh flakies and holos, and that's a shame, because Nfu-Oh does absolutely gorgeous shimmers and cremes. This is one of my absolute favorites. It's a very pigmented, almost frosty, pinkish, red shimmer. It applied beautifully, and it's incredibly glossy even without a topcoat. The picture is two coats. This color just glows.

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #31+ Konad m30

I am a sucked for cute little animals, and Konad plate m30 has plenty. I chose the little piggy for my manicure. The Nfu-Oh polish is very shiny which makes it a little hard to photograph.

And of course I had to include my huge thumb nail. I had to cut it a bit this week. The image turned out better on the other nails, but the thumb is easy to photograph :)

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #31 - Another Spring Sheer

I think this polish is absolutely lovely. It's a very shimmery peachy pink sheer. It goes on completely streak free so you can wear 1, 2, 3, or 4 coats and it looks great. The pink shimmer seems more dominant with fewer coats, but I still opted for 4 because I like to see some color! The shimmer is also much more pronounced that the picture shows. Stupid camera!


From the poll it looks like most people won't mind a couple of makeup posts. I promise I won't make this into a makup blog (there are so many fab ones out there), but I might do a review once in a while :)

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #54 over L.A. Girl Flare Tropical

L.A. Girl Flare Tropical is a pretty nice green creme with a hint of blue. The brush wasn't easy to work with, but I think the result is worth it.

I thought it looked a little boring by itself, so I added two layers of Nfu-Oh #54. As usual the pictures do not do the Nfu-Oh flakies justice. It looks amazing and 3D in real life.

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.
