NOTD: The Matte IS Magic

I was going to completely change my mani tonight but while I was browsing through my polish stash, I came across my bottle of China Glaze Matte Magic. On a whim, I painted it on my thumbnail just to see what the Nfu OH 49 would look like mattified... and WOW! The pictures don't do justice but it makes the transitions in the colors stand out even more. I actually liked it better! So I painted the rest and decided to wear it for another day. :o)

NOTD: NFu Oh #49

Oh, the flaky goodness! This is my first Nfu Oh polish aaaaaand my first flaky. I ♥ it! I know I'm a little bit late to the flaky polish party but I think it's better late than never, right?

A lot of the swatches I've seen of #49 have been over black but I wanted to see what else might make for an interesting base. I wanted to stick with a dark color and toyed with the ideas of blue, purple, and green... I ended up picking Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blazing Blue. I'm glad I did!

Blazing Blue Base Color (1 coat)

1 coat of #49. No top coat yet.


With SecheVite top coat.

I'd venture to say I'm addicted now. I really like everything about #49. I will definitely have to go back to Fabuloustreet.com and order some more of these. (I'm eying numbers 51 and 56 now!) They cost $12.50 per a bottle but with free shipping in the US I think they're worth it especially since this look is so unique around here. :o)

Thanks for reading!

Mail Call: But Wait! There's More...

There's nothing like opening the mailbox to find it full of packages containing nail polishing goodies. Doing that two days in a row makes it even better! I could barely contain my excitement long enough to get back into the house to open the 2 that arrived in today's mail.


This polish gave me another reason to loooove all the nail blogs. Nfu Oh 49 is a polish that in all actuality, I would probably pass on if I saw it in a store. Seriously, it's orangy and has a weird looking texture and there's like some sort of green thing happening... The way it appears in the bottle doesn't do it justice at all but seeing it on other bloggers nails gives it a new life and personality. And I love it! (especially over black.)

The second color is Nubar Reclaim and it's full of holo-y goodness. I can't wait to try this one out... maybe on my toes since my fingers are going to be covered in the Nfu Oh! :o)
