NOTD: Wet 'n Wild 'Eggplant Frost' with Nfu-Oh 51

I am so excited to start trying out my Nfu-Oh polishes!  I know that the flakies are sheer so I decided to layer Nfu-Oh 51, which has a purple base with pink-to-gold duochrome flakies, over Wet 'n Wild Eggplant Frost, one of my untrieds.  I actually don't own a lot of purple polish--I'm not a big fan of the color.

Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine 'Eggplant Frost' is a red-toned purple base with a blue shimmer that cools it considerably.  The formula was opaque in 3 thin coats (I had some cuticle drag issues), but two medium coats would work nicely as well.  This color didn't turn me on that much; it reminds me too much of the 90's.  The only benefit to a color like this is the polish's price: I bought mine for .99 cents.  Other than that, I can't see myself using it for much more than a base to layer other polishes over.

I had to clip my claws, lol.  I was afraid of them breaking and the ends were starting to get all peeley.


Nfu-Oh 51 has a purple base with a magenta shimmer and duochrome flakies that are alternately pink and gold, and green.  It's a 'WOW' polish!  One coat of this polish gave me flakie duochrome goodness; two coats gave me dimensional flakie duochrome awesomeness!  I can so see this as nail polish jewelry.  (Note to self: figure out how to make nail polish jewelry!)  One quick coat of Seche and I was good to go!  Click on these pictures to see more detail!




This one was taken after a day spent digging in the sand at the beach, lol.  There's some tip wear and a chip on the edge of the nail on my index finger.  >_<  But look at that amazing blue-green flash!  You can see this in shade, indirect sunlight or under fluorescent lights (this picture was under fluorescents).

One more picture for you, lol... the best picture of a hermit crab I have ever taken!  One of the best things about the beach we went to was the hermit crab hunting.


Thanks for Reading!

That Wet n Wild color reminds me of Orly Royal Velvet!! I like it a lot better with the flakies (: Awww cute crab pic, it reminds me of the hermit crab I picked out at the mall when I was younger. Mine had a flower painted on the shell :D

It's so nineties to me, lol. I can't help it. It feels like one of the original pretty-Goth colors... which means I LOVED it as a teenager but as an adult, not so much.
