Nfu-Oh #40

Whoops!!! Wardrobe malfunction!!!

Okay okay. It wasn't a malfunction. I confess. I did it on purpose because I am just so pround of my little nails! They make me so happy! Look how they grow!

I never actually had too much trouble with the growing part. It was more the not breaking part. Now that I keep my nails polished and use strengthening base coats I have a lot less breakage.

On to the polish!


Today I am bringing you an Nfu-Oh nail polish; #40. It is what is called "flakie". It has these thin, opalescent flakes that shine several different colors. Nfu-Oh - #40 is a clear base with flakes from different shades of green to all sorts of shades of blue. It reminds me of the tropical blue ocean and of swimming in a warm, secluded lagoon or cove. It doesn't have the same effect by itself but if it is layered it is out of this world. For these swatches I have it layered over black.

Here are some shots of the greatest thing to ever happen to flakie nail polish: a matte topcoat:


Oh, the magic that is Nfu-Oh

    Your nails are growing beautifully and they are beautifully shaped. I love Nfu Oh polishes especially the flakie ones. The matte is a good effect.

  8. Ange-Marie - I am sorry! I will too! I couldn't hold out any longer! I had to have them!

    And thank you! :c)

    gildedangel - I know. I am drooling all over myself as we speak! I love the flakies matte.

    kitty - Thank you! I actually use three different basecoats. I noticed the two I use the most are Nailtek Foundation III and Qtica Natural Nail Growth Stimulator. I started using both at about the same time so it's hard to say which does better for me. At first I would put on both, but once I started seeing improvement I started alternating. And when I swatch I use Sally Hansen Nail Protex, and sometimes use that ase my base for manis too. Hope that helps somewhat!

    Kae - Thank you! Give in to the Nfu-Oh! lol

    augusta - Thank you!

    Tuli - Thank you so much! I am so weak for matte flakies!

    Camy - Thank you! :c)
