Nfu Oh GS 14 + La colors metallic

Friday, January 14, 2011 Category : , , , , , , 23

Here's the swatch for Nfu Oh GS 14 ( part of the Nfu oh glitter series).  It is a jelly black full of holographic glitter.  I used 3 coats.  When the polish dried it was not very gritty so I only needed to apply one coat of top coat to make it smooth.  The wear for this polish was exceptional, it lasted 5 days no chips (this might have been because this is a glitter polish).  The removal was a bit difficult (which is usually the case for all glitter polishes) but left no staining so yay! 


 

Icing has a polish that is similiar to this polish called Blackout but from the pictures that I have seen, the glitter in the icing blackout polish is finer/ smaller than the glitter in Nfu oh Gs 14. I wish I had an Icing blackout to do a comparison for you guys =(

  Alizarineclaws has a really great comparison for black polishes + holographic glitter polishes so go check it out if you can't purchase the Nfu Oh GS 14

I stamped my ring finger with Bundle monster plate 21+ china glaze millennium

The next color I have is from the LA colors color craze metallic collection.  This is a metallic green with no name, there is a number etched on the glass that is different from the other color crazes I have, the number is either 81 or 18.
This is a metallic polish that leaves no brush strokes and has glass flecks of green in it. It is a very pretty color that required only 2 coats.
I decided to add some fimo flowers from a fimo cane that I got from Bornprettystore.com
At first it was a bit difficult to cut thin slices off the cane but I think I've gotten the hang of it now.
*my middle finger chipped =(
As pretty as this polish was...it was a Nightmare to remove!!!!!!
Look at my fingers!! argh!!! Look at the staining!!! I used Nubar's Nu nails as a base but the polish still stained. Next time..if I ever use this polish again I think I will use a base coat + a top coat.

So....Do you guys have any suggestions on how to clean up my nails/ fingers? I used nail polish remover with acetone..and well..the staining is still just as bad.  argh!  I think im okay with the nail being stained but the skin around my nails are green too! =(

once again.. arGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Konad M73 + Review for viva la nails

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Category : , , , , , , 19

Hi Everyone!

I've decided to give my nails a break from nail polish so they are naked...well as naked as they will ever be....meaning I have a french tip manicure.
I need something on the tips of my nails to protect from chipping; thus, a french manicure. 

I used:
Sally Hansen Pacific Blue: for the tips
Sally Hansen white out: konaded with M73
 Super Glitter Dust - Red from Viva la nails
Seche Vite top coat

***I only have top coat on the tips of my nails, everything else is naked.

  • Freehand the pacific blue tips
  • stamp tips with konad plate M73
  • use brush and dip into acetone to clean up  smile line.  
  • Place glitter on smile line
  • apply top coat

So...the red glitter was provided for review by viva la nails. It was very generous of them but I wasn't very happy with the red glitter at all.  The red glitter BLEEDS!!!!  You can see this on my pinky. After sticking on the glitter I covered the tips of my nails with clear nail polish...well the red glitter started bleeding and smearing..ahh!!!!

This indicated that you cannot cover the red glitter with top coat unless you want silver glitter and smeared red
This also indicated that the red glitter will not do well with frankening because it will turn your frankens red and the glitter will be silver.

I guess the only use of the glitter is for acrylic nails.

Disclaimer - The red glitter rhinestone was sent to me for review with no payment. My opinion is an honest one.


Side note:
1. I plan to have a giveaway soon...almost 300 readers! yay! 
Are people okay with used nail polish being part of the giveaway? I'm thinking of tossing in some htf that I don't use anymore

2.  Is anyone interested in OPI Escadorable Coral, Orange you from New York, Apricatcha Cheating? I believe that I may be able to obtain them for a reasonable price (less than $10 with shipping and all that) and I've been looking for them so if anyone else is interested let me know


@Thifa : why don't you have a nail blog? Think about having one okay? I do love your recipe cooking blog though =)
