Nfu Oh Surprise from Hubby

After a really stressful time my husband wanted to cheer me up a bit.  He’d recently seen me drooling over some Nfu Oh polishes online and decided to order some for me as a surprise!

He got me Nfu Oh 40 and 68 and I was soooo excited!!  He knew that I like all things sparkly and that purple is my favorite color.  Not a bad job, huh?!  I think he made the perfect choices.

How awesome are these bottles?  That’s one of the main reasons why I was looking at them.  I knew the polish must be great because I always see other people posting about it, but the bottles… they are amazing!
I don’t really understand why more companies don’t do something like this to set themselves apart.  I would buy every color by Nfu Oh just because I totally dig the bottles. Seriously, that is not a lie.

I decided to try the Nfu Oh 40 first, because I just love the effect of it. I’ve seen it done a lot over black polish on other people’s blogs and loved it like mad, but I’d done a fair bit of black lately and decided to try something different first.  To look at the bottle it looks yellow, and alone it doesn’t really do it for me, but put it over another color and WHAMMO, INSTA-AWESOME!

So I put a coat of it over Maybelline Express Finish Pearl Blue Sapphire, which is a lovely navy / midnight blue color.  The flakies still stood out really nicely and I just loved it.  I do intend to try it over black soon though because I think the contrast of the black with the flakies is beautiful.
I wish I’d taken more photos of this polish because I don’t think these photos do it justice at all.  I was in a rush that day and forgot to take more before I removed it.  I will come back with more when I do it over the black.  I’m sure most people who are reading this have seen many photos of this anyway.

I learned my lesson and made sure to take more photos of the Nfu Oh 68.  I’ve had this on for quite a while now because I’m totally in love with it.  I love the mixture of purple and silver, how smooth it goes on, how it deepens depending on the light and well, everything about it really.  I will be wearing this one A LOT.
The above photo was taken early morning in the sunny side of our flat.

This was taken indoors late afternoon with natural light.

I love this stuff… love love love love love! This is the first ‘luxury polish’, as I would call it, meaning it’s not a cheapo drug store brand.  I am getting the feeling that the saying “You get what you pay for” rings true in the world of nail polish because this is a world of difference from some of the cheaper bottles I have.  I’m hooked.
I am not lying when I say I want every single color they have available and I think my husband has found his ‘go to’ gift for when he just feels like getting me a little surprise.  Sweet!
