Nfu Oh Holo #61



Now onto the review:

I love love love Nfu Oh's holos. They are one of my favorite nail polishes of all time. They do take practice to learn how to apply them. They also go on much smoother with Aqua Base. Once you get over the learning curve, and your initial surprise over how fast this polish dries, you'll be in love too!

Forumla: 4 out of 5

Color: 5 out of 5

Application: 3.5 out of 5

Value for the Price ($12.50): 5 out of 5

Pros: It's a Holo, what more can I say?, Dries fast

Cons: Tends to chip without a top coat, better with Aqua Base ($12.50), takes practice to apply correctly.

Sorry to do another Nude Review so soon but I felt this polish was worth it!

My search for a perfect nude has come to an end. This color is really awesome. In some light it's more of a yellow nude. In other light it's very pink. At first I was a little worried about how light the color was, but after a few minutes I was completely in love.

July 2011: OBC's 10th Annual Bat Festival

The Organization for Bat Conservation is hosting the Great Lakes Bat Festival again this year! If you'll be in Michigan it's a great family event, or just something fun to do on your own!

Here's a teaser of one of our bats:

First Post: Zoya Skye Review

Hey Guys,

For the first post I decided I'd review one of the Zoya polishes I've purchased this summer. Zoya Skye. It's a light nude/beige color that almost perfectly matches my skin. It's been hard for me to wear the nude polish trend because of just how pale I am, but this one sure works!

After Application

After 2 hours

However this polish has it's drawbacks. I've tried to paint my nails with this polish about five times. It never seems to dry no matter what I do. I've tried curing it under a UV lamp, air dry, and I've also tried putting a coat of Seche Vite on top. Nada. The after picture above is after waiting 2 hours then touching the polish lightly.The polish is also thick to the point of being hard to get an even coat on my nails.

Review:
Color: 5 out of 5
Formula: 1 out of 5
Application: 3 out of 5
Value for the price ($8 normal, I got mine for $4): 4 out of 5 if it works for you.
Pros: Opaque creamy color
Cons: Really thick, very difficult to dry.
