Hi everyone! It's flakie time! I don't often drool over flakie polishes because I don't like the typical orange/green color shift that most have. But these ones... These are special.
This is Nfu-Oh 50 which is turquoise flakies in a sheer purple base. Here I have layered it over China Glaze First Mate to create a deep mermaid-like look.
At some point I will also layer this over a purple to get the bottle-look but I am in a dark phase and love wearing dark colors! (I know, who am I and what have I done with Rebecca?)
On certain angles the flakies completely change color which I was not expecting! They become a gorgeous dark blue. I couldn't stop staring.
I do have a complaint though about this polish - I got crazy bubbling. I'm not sure if you can see it in any of the photos but each nail was totally bubbled after a few hours. It was hard to tell on the nail, but I peeled off a few nails while studying and each one looked like a galaxy of bubbles when I held it up to the light.
The formula on the flakies is really thick and this was 2 coats plus 2 coats of First Mate, and then Seche Vite. The thickness might have added to the bubbling but I wear thick manis pretty often and don't experience it. So it's weird.
I can deal with bubbles for mega prettiness though!
Now I have my eye on #51...
amazing combination!
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have this nfu.oh too!
Beyond gorgeous~
ReplyDeleteNfu Oh 51 is on my list too! I don't own any Nfu Oh polishes, but I think I might buy it in 2 weeks :P
ReplyDeleteThis one is gorgeous too, but I really want the perfect blue flakie, which comes from Nfu Oh as well :P
Lovely combo!! To bad about the bubbling though :(
ReplyDeletesuper pretty! like you, I'm not the biggest fan of "regular" flakies with the orange/green shift...but other with blue or red flakies, I totally love!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!! Bummer that it bubbled, but I can't tell at all! It looks great!
