Nfu-Oh NFU 61 Zebra Mani

Morning!  Or afternoon, depending on where you live ;)  Hope every one had a great Easter, I know I did.  It was a lot of work and a lot of fun.  So much so that I did practically nothing yesterday, I was pooped!!  But I am back today to share my fun holo zebra mani.

I got Nfu-Oh NFU 61 from a blog sale a while back, and now that the sun has been peeking out, it was a good time to give it a try.  In general you are supposed to use an aqua base for this polish, but I don't have one.  So I did a little looking around for other options.  A lot of people sandwiched 61 with Seche Vite.  If you don't use an aqua base or some alternative, this polish is very streaky and leaves bald spots.  Not pretty!  I used my normal base coat of Rejuvacote, did a coat of 61, then a coat of Seche Vite, another coat of 61 and topped with Seche Vite.  Get all that?  Next time, I think I will start with Seche Vite as my base and go from there.  See if it works easier.  But hey, it turned out just fine with a little finesse.  And because I can't leave a holo polish alone, I decided some stamping was in order :)

What do you think?  I used Konad M57 and Konad Special Black for the zebra print and Bundle Monster BM317 and Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Flashy Fuchsia for the bow.  Then topped with another coat of Seche Vite :)  

Today is the 2nd day of Spring Break and I am already going nuts, I plan on sharing at least 1 more post this week, hopefully 2, but we will see how things go here.

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 :)
