Back to Blue

I bring to you today one of my favorite layering combos ever! First, the creme, the famous Nails Inc Baker St!

Oh yes, the glorious blue! Nothing will ever compare for me...

I drool every time I wear it! I may need a backup bottle...

And it dries so shiny! No topcoat here, just two coats of glorious blue!

Now, what makes everything better? Flakies! I finally used my bottle of Nfu Oh 53!

I could just drown in this polish! It's so pretty! It's like a glass-flecked polish had a baby with a flakie polish like Nubar 2010 or Essie Shine of the times!

Taken in filtered sunlight

So pretty! At least it is to me! 

I took this pic in the shadow so the flakies would show better.

And, since I know somebody out there wants to know if this gets opaque by itself, I used 3 coats of the Nfu Oh by itself on my thumb. I still had some VNL, but my short-nailed friends will be able to wear this with ease. Beware that it is sort of thick, so I would definitely recommend layering rather than building it up by itself.

Side shot of my thumb! Catch a load of the shimmer and the flakie color shift!

Looks so pretty! You can hardly even see the VNL!

And who doesn't love macro shots? I know I love them!

I hope you enjoyed this splash of color in the middle of winter, and if you want to know anything, just ask below in the comments! I purchased Baker Street from Sephora and Nfu Oh 53 from Fabuloustreet.

Happy Polishing,

Nubar Blueberry Pt. 3

Yes, I added even more to the combo!! If I was any good at stamping, there would be a part four, but I guess I'll just have to practice over Christmas break. So far, I added Hare Afterglow to Nubar Blueberry, but what makes any combo magical?

 

Oh yes, Fantasy Fire!!! I added one coat of Fantasy Fire to my existing mani! So this is going to be ridiculously pic heavy, I need to insert a jump here.

Nubar Blueberry Pt. 2

Ok, so remember me telling you about how I used Nubar Blueberry as the base for some awesome layering? Here's the first part of what I layered over it: Hare Afterglow!! I got my first Hares from one of the lovely ladies in one of my polish groups and Afterglow is the only one I've used so far.

Words can't describe it (I'm sure they could, but I'm terrible at descriptions) so here's a macro shot:

Click to enlarge!! It's so pretty!

This is in direct light, so it looks a bit lighter here than it really is.

The next few photos didn't come out too well, but I included them since they were closest to the polish's true color.

Ok, I kept taking photos since it was so pretty...so here are three more. :)

Oh, and I have my laptop back so this is my first post from my completely revamped computer!!! I love having it back, and I'm glad to be back here and blogging!! See you lovelies around!!

Happy Polishing,
