OK, long pic-heavy post - so I'll try and keep it light on the text.
Butter London HRH. Nice standard royal purple, red-toned base. I did two coats but it could probably have done with three since the base is a little jelly-ish. Me being me and compelled to fiddle with things that ought not be fiddled with, I put Nfu.Oh 51 over the top and the result really wasn't pretty:
Urgh. Sooo, that lasted all of twelve hours before I took it off. But I wanted to try 51 over something else because the real draw is the amazing blurple jelly base colour, which was totally lost over HRH. So I swatched it over (L-R) Orly gogo, illamasqua wink, illamasqua force, and OPI dim sum plum. And the result was much prettier:
Orly Gogo is just a total PITA to apply and not worth the 7 coats of polish (4 orly, 3 of the flakies) but 51 looked lovely over any of the other three. Two coats on force and dim sum plum, three on wink. I will definitely give this a full outing soon, because I really like the duochrome pinky colours in the flakies (just not over HRH...dear God not over HRH). Do click to enlarge this one, it's a doozy.
As Borat would say: 'naaaaaaice. Vairry naice.'
Edit - the UK Nfu Oh retail site has now launched. It's at Nfuoh.co.uk. Enjoy!
Mmm, HRH is my favorite kind of purple :) There is just a little too much going on with 51 over it though lol. I really like it over GoGo & Wink myself, though if GoGo is that much of a pita I'd skip it too lol.
ReplyDeleteWow!!beautiful nail beautiful color.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous layering . The color is cute alone to .
ReplyDeleteLove the combo!!
ReplyDeletewow, this looks truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteButter's HRH is amazing. I had not seen a good swatch of it before! Your Nufu 51 reminds me of my Nubar 2010 - anyone know if they are dups? I have never seen the Nufu 51 bottle before. But my Nubar 2010 looks good on some things and horrible on others. It's a 'special' overlay - but when it works - WOW!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I kind of like NfuOh 51 over HRH. It certainly is bright and there's a lot going on, but I think it's pretty. HRH is to die for. I need to get that.
