Nfu-Oh 61

Hi there, today's post is about an awesome nail polish, Nfu-Oh 61.
It's a silver holo with a serious holo effect.
I layered 2 coats of 61 over Nfu-Oh Aqua Base, which I got because I'd heard great things about, and I really have to say the holo polishes really do go on smoother on this base coat. But then again you could just use a rubberized base coat and I'm pretty sure it would do the job just fine.

Where did I buy the Nfu-Oh polishes? I bought them from Viis Ilusalong. The holos are 8.35 EUR, the flakes are 7.05 EUR, the Aqua Base 5.15 EUR. They also have cuticle oils, glitters and pastels. Delivery to Europe was about 10 EUR for 10 polishes.

Now, on to the trillion pics.
Enjoy!



Buongiorno a tutte! Il post di oggi riguarda Nfu-Oh 61, uno smalto davvero olografico argentato.
Ho passato 2 strati di 61 sulla Nfu-Oh Aqua Base, comprata perché ne avevo sentito decantare le lodi un pò ovunque. Devo dire che facilita la stesura degli smalti olografici, ma credo che una qualsiasi base effetto gomma farebbe un lavoro decente.

Dove comprare gli smalti Nfu-Oh? Personalmente ho utilizzato Viis Ilusalong. Gli holos vengono 8.35 EUR, i flakes 7.05 EUR e l'Aqua Base 5.15 EUR. Hanno anche olii per cuticole, glitters e pastelli. La spedizione in Italia mi è costata poco più di 10 EUR per 10 smalti.

E adesso ecco a voi un miliardo di foto di questa meraviglia.

Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail Charm

Hey there. :)
What do I have to show you today? It's Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail Charm! I looooove black/grey holos! I used to love wearing black nail polish, before it even became a trend in my country, since black is my favourite color for clothes and just about anything else. Now that I have so many other options, though, I nevah evah wear simple black polish anymore. This is a nice compromise, since it's black-ish but still awesome and unique enough for me to feel special wearing it. =)
I think I'll be sporting this one for a real manicure soon.

The swatches are 2 coats but I could have gone over a third time if I hadn't been too lazy the morning I took those. :p
No top coat was applied.





Di nuovo ciao a tutte! ;)
Oggi per voi ho Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail Charm. Adoro gli smalti neri/grigi/marroncini olografici (di nuovo, chiedo perdono se non è il termine adatto)!
Visto che il nero è il mio colore preferito per gli abiti e più o meno anche tutto il resto, ho sempre amato lo smalto nero, anche prima che diventasse una moda.
Poi però ho scoperto il colore, il glitter, e tutto il resto, e ormai una manicure con lo smalto nero non la faccio più. Chainmail Charm è un ottimo compromesso perchè è più o meno nero ma ha comunque qualcosa di deliziosamente originale.

Gli swatch sono con 2 strati, anche se 3 non avrebbero guastato, e senza top coat.

Diamond Cosmetics Blue Diamonds

Good morning, everyone. ^^
Today's polish is Diamond Cosmetics Blue Diamonds from their Holiday Collection '09. It's a light blue with holographic glitter.
I really liked it, and removal was easy, even though it contains glitter.
In the pics I'm wearing 2 coats, no top coat. Blue Diamonds gets bonus points for not feeling too gritty even without tc.




Nuovo giorno, nuovo smalto Diamond Cosmetics. Quello di oggi è Blue Diamonds dalla Holiday Collection dello scorso anno. E' un blu chiaro ed acceso con del glitter effetto olografico (se non è questo il termine adatto perdonatemi ma non so come altro definirlo in italiano) all'interno. Quindi non è uno smalto propriamente olografico, contiene solo del glitter olografico, stranamente facile da rimuovere.
Nelle foto ho su due passate senza top coat. Anche senza top coat il glitter non era troppo ruvido, quindi questo smalto si merita una ulteriore stellina. :)

A domani con il prossimo DC!

H&M Sinful Señorita/Creme de la creme - Vacations and a plea

Hi again! Today I have old pictures of two H&M holographic polishes: Sinful Señorita and Creme de la creme. I also have the other two holos but haven't worn them yet.
They're not the flashiest holos I've ever seen, but they application is smooth and the colors are nice.




Today was a great day nail polish-wise: I received my second BB Couture order at OverallBeauty. I got Blind Love and Fairy Blood, and since the great, amazing, awesome Kim was having Birthday Specials, I got Karibbean Kiersti for free. I also finally caved in and bought (in person, at a shop) my first Zoya, Roxy.

I apologize for the lack of posts, I've been feeling less than stellar for a while, and had some boring stuff to get out of the way, before I could spend time blogging.

Vacation time is coming up, I'm leaving tomorrow, coming back on 06/30, then leaving again for London on the second of July and coming back on the 8th.

Does anyone have polish shopping tips to give?


I also have a plea for the gals who live in the US:



Would anyone be willing to order the Lippmann "Celebrate" 10th Anniversary Collection and ship it my way? If you click on that link you'll find all the information provided by the lovely Michelle of All Lacquered Up.
I would of course pay for all the expenses, and could try and see if my postal service would allow me to ship some Italian polishes your way...

Well, then I'll see you when I come back in a week...
Ciao, belle!
Flavia
