Twinkle Twinkle Little Nail: Essie Dive Bar and Nfu Oh #60

I don't know what possessed me to try these colors together but once I did, I fell in love!

The accent nail of Nfu Oh is just flashy enough to be noticed, but not flashy enough to be too much.

Essie Dive Bar is a deep blue with a shimmer/metallic finish that flashes purple in the right light. Sometimes I feel that Essie is much better at creating more sophisticated colors, but this is one of their better dark colors. It's opaque in two coats and applies well.

Color: 5 out of 5
Application: 4.5 out of 5
Value for the Price ($8): 4 out of 5
Pros: Gorgeous spacey blue color, good application (especially for Essie)
Cons:  I've always felt Essie was a little bit high priced to be a "drugstore" brand, but this is just my opinion.

Nfu Oh #59 (and Essie Limited Addiction)

Sorry this is so late guys! Work has been a real bummer.
Firecracker red?
Check.
Gorgeous Flakies?
Check.
Fiery Sparkle?
Check

This polish has it all! It flashes green at some angles and looks like flames on your nails at others. All in all Nfu Oh hit pay dirt with this one!

Nfu Oh #59 with Essie Limited Addiction

 Duo-Chrome Effect of the Nfu Oh

Nfu Oh #59


This polish is sophisticated with a little bit of bling. Gorgeous, just like every other Nfu Oh polish I own. I really can't criticize this polish other than to say it's sheer. That is intended though, so I guess that may not count as something negative.

Formula: 5 out of 5
Color: 5 out of 5
Application: 4.5 out of 5
Value for the Price ($12.50): 5 out of 5
Pros: Gorgeous Flakies, duo-chrome properties, looks like fire on your nails.
Cons: On it's own it is very sheer, takes three coats to become opaque without a color underneath.

Essie Limited Addiction

This is that perfect "I'm worth a million bucks" polish. A very sophisticated red.

Formula: 5 out of 5
Color: 5 out of 5
Application: 4.5 out of 5
Value for the Price ($8.00): 4 out of 5
Pros: Perfect sophisticated red, opaque color.
Cons: It's nothing unique.

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.
