So finally, sunny day and a few play dates with my Nfu.Oh and I’m ready to review.
Nfu.Oh 065
I got mine from Affiniti (link on my shopping page) for £8.75 along with their acclaimed cuticle remover. The shipping and everything from Affiniti was excellent and they included some glitter I passed to a friend who wears the prettiest acrylics.
The first time I applied it, it was directly over a China Glaze blue, and it took about 3 layers to get it fully covered. It is fairly tricky to work with, as it seems the flecks if you aren’t careful and fast with brush strokes, move around from layer to layer (to me it seems that there’s not much polish but much holo if that makes sense). I didn’t use a topcoat (they dull the awesome holo finish). It lasted 3 days before there was too much chipping.
Since then the past 2 applications have been troublesome, and one I did for my sister utterly failed (though that was without a basecoat). The holo seems to come away relatively quickly even with a base coat, leaving a less than covered finish, and it has a tendancy to chip at the edges. So far my best method of application seems to be to apply over a day or two old other polish – ideally bluey in hue so it looks less terribad if you loose flecks.
That aside though I bloody love the polish, at the moment it’s definitely my favourite!
This is my Nfu.Oh 065, there are many like it, but this one is mine
This is after one night. My middle finger is currently growing out from a removal of nailpolish (by chewing) disaster, so the cover looks lumpy, which is not the case on normal nails. You can already see some chipping on my thumb.
This however is the reason I forgive any crapness the polish may have with application (you can see the patchiness on the top right). HOLOLICIOUS!
This was taken in direct sunlight, and while you can see the holo effect I assure you it’s nearly blinding in person.
Another close-up.
I do really like the polish, Nfu.Oh has the most cute (if slightly tacky) packaging, and I do love it to pieces – this certianly is a holo not to be messed with, but if you can offer me tips on how to make it last I’d be such a happy kitten.
Emybloom gives Nfu.Oh a 3.5/5 rating based on the above.
