NFUOh 084

Today I've got NFUOh's 084 to show you. 084 is a mainly purple glass fleck shimmer but it also contains gold and blue. It does have a tint of purple in it's base but it's quite sheer. So it could alter your nail polish underneath if you layer it up a bit.

Here I've layered 084 over bare nail, Essie Sexy Divide, Color Club Wild at Heart and OPI Ink.

I wasn't able to see 084 in the sun as the polishes I used as a base are quite reflective themselves. But in the shade you can see what a pretty effect 084 has on the purples.

Like a lot of the other shimmers and flakies, 084 doesn't look all that great on it's own. You can also see the slight tinge of purple it gives.

With two coats of 084 you can see the sparkle of it more over the purples here. My camera wasn't actually able to capture how pretty it looked in the sun.

And again in the shade you can see how lovely 084 is over these purples. It reminds me of a not-completely-black OPI DS Mystery.

NFUOh 083

Today I've got NFUOh's 083 to show you. 083 is a red based glass fleck that doesn't contain much of a base colour. So it's ideally used as a layering polish. 083 is mainly red shimmer but also has pink and gold. 

This time around I have layered 083 over bare nail, OPI Sanguine (AKA Royal Rajah Ruby), China Glaze Dress to Kill and OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston.

I think 083 looks stunning over Sanguine and Dress to Kill. It doesn't really look all that exciting just by itself. 

Feel free to enlarge these to see the detail more clearly.

This is two coats shown now. I tried layering 083 between Guy Meets Gal-veston but I think I should have done another coat of 083 on top, just to make it that little bit more sparkly.

NFUOh 086

I've got quite a few of these NFUOh posts lined up for you. I think these glass fleck polishes get forgotten about because the flakie polishes get all the attention. NFUOh really do have a great line of polishes.

In this NFUOh series I've found 3 polishes that I think it'd look nice over and I'll be wearing it by itself on the pinky. 

1 coat L-R: 086, Australis Limited Edition 2, China Glaze Electric Pineapple, OPI Roadhouse Blues

My Mum actually bought this polish. I thought she was mad because I didn't think it looked that pretty. What's that old saying? Don't judge a book by it's cover? In this case it's don't judge a polish by it's sparkles.

Clearly mum saw the potential! I absolutely love 086 over the navy creme! You get to see all of the different colours that 086 is made up of; green, gold, I think there's even a bit of blue in there. Absolute stunner.

Here we step it up to two coats. 086 is great for livening up those lime and chartreuse cremes. Still loving it over the navy too.

Here's a close-up. 086 by itself really doesn't look like much but when you throw it on top of another colour, the magic begins.

Feel free to enlarge any of these photos to see the detail more clearly. 

Stay tuned for the rest of the NFUOhs!
