Nfu-Oh: NFU 51

Hey there lovely ladies, today I am sharing what I have on my nails today.  I acquired the beautiful NFU 51 in a swap a couple months ago.  I am IN LOVE with the bottles and I was able to get 51 and 61 (a silver holo) and I couldn't have been more excited. 

Here is the bottle of 51, it's gorgeous!  I love the corset tops, so unique.

51 is a light purple jelly base with some color shifting flakies in it.  So, depending on whether you wear this alone or with some undies, you can get a few different looks from one polish.  Cool.

For my mani today I layered over black, so I could see the copper and green flakies and I love it.  Can you tell I love this polish?  LOL

Base Coat:  Rejuvacote

Underwear:  Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris (1 coat)

Polish:  Nfu Oh NFU 51 (1 coat)

Top Coat:  Seche Vite

Of course different angles give you different views of the flakies.  As I sit here typing, the copper color is mostly what I see on my nails.

What do you think?  Do you own this one?  What do you like to layer it over?  Or do you just like to wear it alone?  I will def be doing some more experimenting with this one :)

Fall into Autumn: School Spirit

This weeks Fall into Autumn Challenge is School Spirit.  I take that to mean any school you are attending, attended or even your kids' school.  I have been out of school for a long time.  This year my oldest, 5, started kindergarten, so I am doing his school colors.  They are the Knights with the colors of Blue and Red. I have been wanting to try a few different techniques/polishes so this is a combination mani.  I went with a red base using Sinful Colors Hot Hot Heat from the new metallic line, it's a nice one coater :)  I have had the Finger Paints Flakies for a while now and have to even swatched them!  So flakies for this mani too.  I did 2 coats of Motley over my red base.  I let that dry over night.  It was getting late and taking too long to dry.  I was tired, so I carefully went to bed.  Today I got out my striping tape (new for me) and tried a simple design.  It didn't take too long to do and then applied a single coat of Sinful Colors Midnight Blue.  A nice one coater there too.  Next, I took off the striping tape.  It isn't as clean and crisp as I had hoped, but I think it's pretty good for my first try.  Added a coat of Seche Vite and done :)  What do you think?

Zoya: Chloe

Good Morning!! I have a short post for you today.  I wanted to share Zoya Chloe.  I am in LOOOOOVE with flakies.  Yeah, I have a problem.  If I see a flakie, I have to have it.  I just found out yesterday that Icing has some flakie polishes.  So of course I will be on the look out for those.  

Any who, back to the flakie of the day.  I layered Chloe over Wet N Wild's Ebony Hates Chris.  It really brings out all the colors.  I also prefer my flakie's matte.  You can see so much color variations.

Here is my mani
