Nfu Oh and nails inc Haul

Hi! Hope everyone is having a good week.

I thought I would quickly share the polishes I recently got.

I only got three so it's not much of a haul.

Left to right: Nfu Oh 61, nails inc fitzroy square, nails inc franklins row

First up, Nfu Oh 61! I have waited a while for it to be in stock on Fabuloustreet. It always seemed like it would get sold out before I had the chance to order it. It came in the mail the day I got these polishes so I thought I would include it in this post. It is still in stock on the website if anyone wants it. If you're not familiar, it is a strong linear silver holographic polish. I can't wait to wear it!

Next, nails inc creates these "3d glitters" under a special effects line. I was eager to try one of them out so I went with fitzroy square. Fitzroy square is a turquoise blue glitter polish with different sizes of glitter within. 

Finally, I really wanted to try one of the regular nails inc polishes. One of the Sephoras near me luckily had the nails inc line. You can order from the website but it helps to see the polishes in person. When I got there my heart was set on another polish but it looked too similar to something I owned. Instead, I grabbed franklins row. It looks like a great duochrome purple with shimmer.

I was impressed by nails inc. They look to have a great color range. I appreciate that they put stickers to make sure colors aren't opened before you buy. Between the two polishes, they had different antilock stickers. I included pictures below to show what I mean.

The 3d special effects glitters only have the barcode sticker with the name to "lock it". The sticker lays smooth when unopened. My sticker looks a little crinkled because I opened it after buying. It was perfectly smooth before.

The regular line has a clear circle sticker to prevent opening. The barcode sticker (with the polish's name) is on the top of the bottle. I prefer this way more. That way the name of the polish stays securely on and doesn't get wrinkled.

I took these next pictures to try to show how pretty franklins row looks in the bottle. I hope these pictures help you get a feel what it looks like. Can't wait to wear it! I'm wearing Color Club Gossip Column.

That's all for now. Hopefully I'll have my first tutorial up either today or tomorrow. I decided to do a tutorial on the Hello Kitty nail that was a part of my Nail Art Spam Part 2. I hope you enjoy it! While I came up with this design on my own, looking around I know I'm not the first to do it. However, I wanted to show how I do it.(Edit: Tutorial is now posted!)

Here's a preview picture!

So, has anyone tried out nails inc polishes? What did you think? Did anyone else snag Nfu Oh 61? Are there any other nail designs that I've done that you would like a tutorial for?

On To The Next Polish,

First Post! Nfu Oh 65 and 66

Hi! Welcome to my blog! Today I have Nfu Oh 65 with Nfu Oh 66 as french tips to show you!

Let's talk about there bottles! They are adorable! If I am going to spend more money on nail polish than usual I appreciate a good nail polish bottle. I paid $12.50 each for these, which is a bit much for me. They are holographic though, which makes it all worthwhile for me. Holographic is by far my favorite finish even thought the wear time is not the best. I got these at FabulouStreet.com (offers free shipping to the US!) Anyways, I love the Victorian style of these bottles. Oh and by the way I label all of my nail polishes with numbers so that is why they have labels! I just passed 200 bottles of nail polishes.

Before I show you swatches, I would like to tell my story about how I got into this crazy nail polish world.
A few years ago, nail polish was not a big deal to me. I did not know much about different brands, finishes, or that their were entire blogs dedicated to nails. In fact right before my interest in nails sparked, I believed that I only should wear "proper" colors such as red and pink. But one day I came across a blog naming Essie Sag Harbor a must-have. I don't know how it happened but thereafter I became determined to get my hands on that. I soon found out about online etailers and other nail blogs. From there it was a down hill spiral and the obsession grew. I love nail blogs and I have recently really wanted to start one. So here is my attempt! I don't know much about photography but I am continuing to learn and figure out the best way for swatches.


As I said, I have wanted to start a nail blog. In result I have quite a few pictures to post of older manicures and designs not up to par with my current skills. However, I think I will post most of those pictures because I think you will still enjoy them.


Anyways on to the polish! Today I will be showing you my swatches of Nfu Oh 65.

Nfu Oh 65 is a light blue linear holographic. With most holographics, the effect is stronger without a topcoat. It has the strongest holographic effect of the holos I have. I apparently got the "dud" ones, less holographic than before. Oh well, I still love the effect! The polish applies a little streaky and patchy but if you want to spend the extra cash you can get Nfu Oh's Aqua Base to help applying. However, you can achieve a nice manicure without it with a few coats. The photo above is 3 coats no topcoat.

This picture is intentionally blurred to accent the holographic effect.


I was eager to try out my other nail polish Nfu Oh 66 so I decided to put french tips on with it.

Nfu Oh 66 is a light green strong linear holographic. It applies the same as Nfu Oh 65. It has the same effect. Gosh, these polishes are so holographic it's unbelievable! My wallet is crying looking at the other holographics on stock on the website. I hope to get Nfu Oh 61 soon but that one has a strong tendency to be out of stock. Hopefully one day, I will have all or most of these Nfu Ohs. They are so awesome!


Thank you very much for checking out my blog! I promise other posts won't be this long. Leave a comment if you would like! : )
