Fowl Play by Orly

I'm baaaack! It feels like it's been forever... My nails all broke, my computer gave up on me and I had to return the camera that I was borrowing but I got a brand new camera for Christmas so I can get back to what I love!... Nail Polish! I have a lot of catching up to do, my collection has expanded since the last time I posted not to mention the ones that I got for Christmas. I've decided that my return post should be a good one so I chose my favourite polish from my Christmas haul... Fowl Play by Orly

Oh mah goodness! I love it! It's a very sheer formula took three coats to get it opaque but well worth it. I didn't use a base colour this time but I'm thinking that next time I will try it out to see the difference. I've heard it's a dupe for OPI Merry Midnight but I have not seen it personally so cannot make any comment although it does remind me of Nfu Oh 51. The flakies seem to be bigger and more visible in Fowl Play, I found it easier to apply and it's also a whole lot cheaper. I will do a comparison and update as I am curious to see how close it is myself. What is there to say... I love the purple, I love the flakies... I just love this colour!!

Nfu Oh 51!!

It has arrived and it's AMAZING!!! I cannot stop looking at my nails! The colour is so hard to explain, it's a sheer purple almost blue jelly like base with shimmer and flakies that flash yellows, reds and greens in different lights and angles. In artificial light it can almost look red, but in natural light it looks shockingly purple. I used 3 coats of the Nfu Oh 51 and topped it with Essie Good To Go top coat and it turned out wonderful. I found that because of the jelly base drying time was a bit longer then usual but a fast drying top coat seems to do the trick. The colour looks beautiful on it's own although next time I will try layering over a blue or purple polish to save a bit of time on the application and drying time. I can't see anyone being disappointed however you choose to wear this colour!

You can find Nfu Oh 51 and other colours on fabuloustreet.com for $12.50 I believe shipping is free in the US. I'm located in Canada and paid $3... not bad and definitely worth it!!
