NFUOh 052

Today I have NFUOh's 052 to show you. 052 looks quite navy in the bottle but it's actually quite purpley, like 051. All you need is a blue to layer it over and you can get the same results as how it looks in the bottle.

I decided to layer 052 over bare nail, OPI DS Fantasy, Australis Blue Tiger and Australis Limited Edition 2.

052 went on a little bit uneven over the lime but I did love it over the two blues. Fantasy especially.

We're on two coats here. As you can see 052 is a little bit sheer by itself but can be layered up to be worn alone. Fantasy brings out the green more, Blue Tiger brings out the light blue and Limited Edition 2 the purple side of 052.

Here we get to see the green, blue and purple duochrome a little bit. It's definitely stronger in person, I wasn't able to capture it nicely with my camera.

052 is my most favourite NFUOh polish along with 050. As soon as I did that first swipe over Fantasy, I knew 052 was the one. The only navy with blue and green flakies I will ever need.

NFUOh 046

Now I have NFUOh's 046 to show you. 046 is a red based flakie with orange flakies and shimmer that turn gold. 046's base is quite thick and overpowering. This is one you could wear by itself at two coats but in return quite a subtle flakie effect.

I've layered NFUOh 046 over bare nail, China Glaze Dress to Kill, Color Club Wham! Pow! and Color Club I Always Get My Man-darin. 

046 deceived me! I assumed it was a yellow toned red just from how it looks in the bottle, but by itself it is much bluer toned than when it's layered. I really liked 046 over Wham! Pow! as it gave quite a punch. Dress to Kill gave the perfect result of how 046 looks in the bottle.

046 kind of dries a little bit matte, so you need a topcoat over it to see it's pretty flakies and shimmer.

NFUOh 050

Next up I have NFUOh's 050 to show you. 050 is an almost clear purple base with blue and green flakies. If you start to layer 050 up the purple base slowly builds up on some colours but doesn't alter others.

Here I have one coat layered over bare nail, Makeup Store Young, OPI Mermaid Tears and Color Club Secret Rendezvous. I chose these three colours because these are the shades that 050 reflects; green, blue and purple. 

I think 050 over these pastels looks really sweet and delicate.

We've got two coats of 050 now. Of course you can do as many layers as you like with 050, the flakies just get more and more intense and you start to lose the base colour more.

I really like how these flakies show variation in colour and you get something different at every angle.

050 is my favourite NFUOh, right beside 052.

Here are a couple of other times of when I've used NFUOh 050 in a manicure:

NFUOh 059

Today I've got NFUOh 059 to show you. 059 is similar to 051 and 052 in the way that it has more of a base colour to it. It isn't as sheer as the glass flecks. 059 has a berry/wine base colour and is loaded heaps of orange flakies that turn gold and green. 

For 059 I chose to layer it over bare nail, Orly On The List, Glitter Gal Copper and a generic black creme.

We step it up to two coats here. In the sunlight you get to see more of the orange side of the flakies but it's more of the base polish that is showing through.

In the shade you get to see the flakies and the duochrome starts to come out to play...

Here you can see the gold/orange/green duochrome starting to show.

I think all of the base polishes look just as nice as each other with 059. The black gives you  the more orange/fiery side of things, Copper gives you a subtle holo, On The List was my favourite. It's a deep berry with pink glitter. 059 you can wear by itself but it will need at least 3 coats to get full coveage.

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 055

Today I've got NFUOh's 055 to show you. 055 is a sheer green glitter base with orange flakies that shine from red to gold. Sometimes you get a glimpse of blue in the bottle but it's very hard to see it on the nail.

For this experiment I've layered 055 over bare nail, OPI Jade Is The New Black, China Glaze Emerald Sparkle and Sally Hansen Glow.

We're on to two coats here. So as you can see, like a few of NFUOh's polishes, they look quite bland by themselves but when added to something else, they just bring a whole other dimension to the polish!

I am in love with 055 over Emerald Sparkle. It just looks like they were made for each other. The effect of 055 is quite subtle of the like green frost. I do like it over Jade but I think it just pops against the darker green of Emerald Sparkle.

Keep an eye out for more NFUOh posts!

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.
