Nfu Oh: Holographic 65: Nail Of The Day.

I  recently purchased 4 bottles of  Nfu Oh Holographic Nail Polish and I have been tapping my foot impatiently waiting for the sun to come out so I could try one. 

Up first is Nfu Oh: 65 , a  strong linear blue holo.  In the bottle it doesn't look like much, just a shimmering pale blue, but get it on  the nails  and it just dazzles.

65  is going in my favourite's pile. I can't stop staring at my nails whenever I am outside, it's very distracting but hey that's what we want nail polish to do!

So as one of my favourite blogs likes to say:  "Let's Go Sparkling!"

                                                                      Indoors: With Flash

All images are without base & top coat. Top coats tend to dry to a cloudy finish over holographics, and it dulls their brilliance which is a shame as I like my mani to last more than a few days. At first I had to keep touching up my mani but it's wasting the polish so I caved and used Sally Hansen's Super Shine top coat. It dulls the holo a little but not by much and there was no shrinkage at all.

One niggle about this nail polish is the streaky application and the tendency to leave patchy holes. I tried everything from  base coat, top coat & ridge fillers etc, nothing worked.

I  recommend using the Nfu Oh: Aqua Base prior to use, or like I did, just brush onto bare nails, I found this to be a problem free solution which meant I didn't have to use a bazillion coats to hide the mess. The polish is easy to remove, dries in seconds and doesn't leave any staining. 

   Depending on the light , the holo's flash between a standard pastel blue to full  blown holo. 

         Indoors Without Flash. 

                                                                        With Flash 

Outside: Direct Sunlight: Nfu Oh 65 tends to go holo mad when it's under indirect sunlight, with a little shade. The images taken with the flash above are pretty close to how that looks. Direct sunlight seems to make the holo look weaker.

(On  Emerald Sparkled :  I saw  that the old  formula of this polish was out of this world and since changing their formula the effects are not as pronounced, you can  see the  difference in the bottle below compared to mine above. Nfu Oh: why did you have to mess with perfection!?

Do I want the old formula? ......you bet I do! this is a lemming. :)

Has anyone else tried the old formula; what did you think?
