A fresh coat of polish with my thoughts!

Nfu Oh Top

This is by far the most unique bottle of nail polish I have ever seen!  The bottle is a dress and the top of it is a heart.  Nfu Oh have the most amazing bottles.  The polish is also beautiful!  I have so many pictures, not only to show you all of the detail on the bottle, but to show the color of this polish – Nfu Oh 51 (Flakie).  I can’t even show you really how it looks in the pictures.  You really have to see the polish in person!  Anyways, I tried to get the polish in different light just so you can somewhat see it.  It’s crazy that some of the pictures don’t even seem like I am wearing the same polish…but I am!!  The pictures are two coats with Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.  Enjoy!

China Glaze – Glistening Snow

China Glaze - Glistening Snow

I just got this polish in the mail.  I didn’t know what to expect since it is brand new, from the China Glaze Holiday 2012 collection, and couldn’t find any swatches of it yet.  I was actually thinking it was more of a linear holographic nail polish, but it is a holographic glitter polish.  The coverage is AMAZING!!  You really could get away with one coat, but I always like to do two coats as shown above.  The only downfalls to this polish is that it looks more like metal in the direct natural sunlight as it can start looking too dull.  Also, the texture its sooooo gritty!  I swear I had to put about 4 coats of top coat to get out the gross gritty texture.  That drives me nuts ’cause it gets caught on everything and I hate the way it feels.  I actually could have probably used 5 coats of Seche Vite, but it seemed just a bit too excessive.  This above picture is shown with no top coat.

Oh yeah, one more thing… this polish chipped off so fast!!!   I guess that is because of the texture.  My China Glaze polish usually doesn’t chip that fast.  It was all gone off my nails in a few days…and it came off in chunks!  Well, I guess the good part is that it’s way easier to take off that way, since glitter can be a big pain in the ass to take off your nails.

They turned out pretty good except for the smudges the top coat gave me!  This was my first time using Nicole by OPI – Top Coat Plus and it wasn’t a good first impression.  However, it may partly be my fault because I get so impatient waiting for my nails to dry.  Still, my regular OPI Top Coat doesn’t usually give me smudges like this unless my nails are really wet.

Polish used:

OPI – Natural Nail Base Coat
OPI – Barefoot In Barcelona

Kiss Nail Art Paint – Black

I have the OPI Spain Collection (for quite awhile now), but had never tried Barefoot In Barcelona until now.  Nude polishes are not my style, but I was amazed at this polish.  It actually looks great for a nude and I will definitely be wearing it a little more often.  The formula is really good as it went on nice and even.  No problems at all.  I think it actually looks pretty good!  Here I am wearing 2 coats with no top coat.
