As you all know, I’m not a nail blogger, so please excuse the clumsily-held polishes and the even clumsier shot (not to mention the less-than-precise nail edges)! :)
Trust me, though, when I say NfuOh 52 is one of the prettiest flakey polishes out there. Turquoise flakes suspended in purply-inky blue gel, this polish lifts an old manicure in an instant. I’d had Zoya Ki on my nails before I applied the NfuOh and though I liked the duo-chromed purple/greened bronze, I was sick of it after three days. What better way to spiff it up than with a beautiful flakey? ;)
I reckon the sparkle would pop even more with a glossier overcoat but I knew I’d typing to do, so I chose to use Poshé Super-Fast Drying Topcoat, which, though excellent in drying a manicure, doesn’t give as laminated a finish as I like.
I’m waiting for my nails to grow out again (they’re super uneven and chipped now) so I can try KI with Anna Sui flakey blue polish (which is sooooo hard to remove) and the Color Club Covered in Diamonds (opalescent flakey). Think they’ll look great – thanks for the idea :)
Hi Kas,
I saturate cotton pads and leave them on the nails for a bit. If they’re very wet, this should suffice for removal. :D
I love using flakies (and glitter) to revive a dulled nail colour!
So pretty! I need to use the bottle that you gave me soon too :-)
Thanks, Iris!
Would love to see a photo of your nails with this on! :D
Very Pretty Mag! Does it comes in another colour? Gold / red / bronze or s’thg? ;))
Hi Co,
I think so! Will let you if I see such flakies. ;)
Ooh, pretty, where did you get NfuOh from? I take it that you didn’t pick this up locally.
Hi Stickles,
I actually bought my NfuOh from a local nail school called Ecsalonce (171B Goldhill Centre, Thomson Road).

I really should have persisted to the fair. Saw some of the colors on other blogs and they look so good! And so cheap! *sob sob*
Hi Sesame!
Some of the polishes at the fair were really very affordable. :) It’s ok, though, there’s always online shopping…and next year’s event! ;)
Wow this looks pretty devilish. I like it! BTW, I added your blog to my blogroll. Love all the pictures you have in here. =)
Hi Roxanne,
Thank you! :)
