Holo-mania Comes to an End

I still have a LOT more, but this will be the end of holo week for now.  It's Black and Blue week on "the forum."  =)  I'll be stepping WAY out of my comfort zone and trying blacks and blues over the next few days.

So here's my last holo entry for the week:  Nfu-Oh #61.  It's their silver holo and it's just fantastic!  Strong linear holo, which you guys know is my favorite. The silver base is blingy enough on its own, but add the prismatic rainbow and I'm in holo heaven.  I can't do this polish justice with my photos, so after you look at mine, take a look at Kitties26's photos on her blog More Nail Polish. She does a great job at capturing it perfectly. Must be that Aussie sunshine!

I've blurred some of them so you can see the rainbow.

Of course then I had to compare OPI DS Sapphire that I just got the other day. Nfu-Oh beats it, hands down. It's definitely a holo and it does actually lean more toward a linear than a scattered, but it doesn't even compare to Nfu-Oh, as you can see.  Of course OPI DS Sapphire is "blue" rather than silver, but it's not a dark blue.

You can see (well you probably can't from these pics, but take my word for it)  that OPI DS Sapphire is a holo for sure, but up next to a strong linear, it's washed out.

The only issue I had with the Nfu-Oh is that it was thicker and gloppier than the other Nfu-Oh holos I have.  Not sure if it's a bad bottle or if the silver is just like that. I used Nfu-Oh's Aqua base with it and it wasn't problematic enough to deter me.  It's SO worth it.

Now, how am I going to do black? *facepalm*

  2. Nope. I've emailed him and he does call me back, but it's been over a month and nothing.

  3. That's ridiculous. You would think that with it costing so much that the seller would take extra precaution to make sure you got it in a timely manner.

    Good thoughts to you, hopefully it will get to you soon.
