First order of business, I finally got through the entries and have selected winners for my giveaway! The winner of Prize 1 is Tropical Chrome, and Prize 2 goes to Peripatetic 33. Congratulations to these lovely ladies, and a big thank you goes to everyone who participated! Blogging would definitely not be as fun without ya'll. ^_^
Second order of business is to show the polish I wore all of last week. Recently, I've been craving holo polish, and after wearing a few that were on the disappointing side, I decided that it was time to bust out the big guns. So I dug into my pile of polishes that I'm saving for something special (LOL) and came up with Nfu-Oh 61. Behold! (But please excuse the chips. These were taken after a week of wear).
I know people are not strangers to Nfu-Oh 61, so I'm just gonna say that it's glorious, and if you love holos and are looking for a relative affordable and strong linear one, this would be it. It looks amazing all the time, even indoors, and I got a million compliments on it. This is the only one I have from their line of holos, and I think I'm going to go back and get a couple of more. Maybe the blue one.
I applied Nfu-Oh over Jessica Cosmetic's Aqua Base, so I didn't struggle too much with application. It was a bit tough getting it smooth, because it dries so fast and is prone to dragging. But putting a little more on the brush than you need, working quickly and lightly, and letting the polish dry fully between coats should take care of that. Incidentally, I would also recommend investing in an aqua base for this though...it really makes the holo pop and eases application.

Nfu-Oh 61 is a clean silver polish with a strong linear holographic effect.

This is Nfu-Oh 61 without the aqua base, and even though the holo is still present and nice, it's not comparable to what showed up in the previous pictures. And it took four coats of polish to get this level of smoothness in the polish, compared to two with aqua base. So get yourself some aqua base!
And for topcoat in the pictures, I am using Sally Hansen Hard as Nails. The holo still looks good, and for a week's time, I thought the wear was pretty good.
And that's all from me today!! I hope everyone is having a nice Saturday, and thanks for reading!!
