And now for the # 62 pics:

From the first pic the difference in color is obvious:




The new polish (lot # 71102) is on the left and the older polish (Lot # 21102) is on the right.

Some swatches:



In these two pics the newer polish on the left and the old polish is on the right.

You can easily see that the new polish although holo is much less linear than the older polish and that the color of the newer polish is much more pink than the original nude.



Here in the shade the color difference is again visible. But in difference to the newer #61 the new #62 is still frosty.

I am disappointed about this change in formula. Nfu-Oh holos where great linear holo's and although they are still holo, they don't have the spectacular linear holo I love and adore salongeek.com/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif.

Have any of you other lovely ladies seen a difference in the formula in the Nfu-Oh polishes?

:p :hugs:I miss you all too. I am just swamped with work. I hardly have time to do my nails... Last week I had chipped nail polish on for two days :shocked: I felt like I was commiting a cardinal sin ;)

Hello all :p

As some of you know I bought the Nfu-Oh holos again because I love them so much. I already had #'s: 61, 62, 63 and 65 but as they are so unique and and pretty I wanted back-ups. I got dupes of the one's I already owned and also # 64 and 66.

Unfortunately once I opened the box I realized that something was a little different. The # 61 looked totally non holo, it looked like a silver shimmer and the colour of #62 was so much more pink than the nude colour, it originally was.

(Writing this I realize that I didn't compare my #63's…I will do that when I get home.)

I took some pictures so I could illustrate the differences.


I could not photograph the difference between how these two # 61 look in the bottle.

In the first pic the older #61 is on the left, with lot # 41102: you can see a slight holo at the top of the bottle while the newer polish (lot # 81102) is dense silver.

I swatched the polish and although it is still holo, it is less holo than the older one.


In these two pics the newer polish on the left and the old polish is on the right. You can easaly see than the holo is less linear and more scattered in the newer polish :tdown:

I also took a picture in the shade and I think you can again see a difference between the polishes. The new polish looks more like a silver foil than the normal frosty look of a holo in the shade.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting these comparisons! I bought my first Nfu Ohs with this batch, and when I look at #61 I totally can't see a holo whatsoever in the bottle. I thought it was really weird because everyone raves about Nfu Oh so much. I haven't swatched it yet, but it sucks to see your pics and realize it's inferior to the older formula. Oh well - you win some and you lose some!

I wonder what is with the change in formula. That is really strange.

Please do post your pics if you swatch yours.

It's not a bad polish, it's still a thousand times better than my Color Club duds but it is a huge shame. #61 has cult status but this new batch is going to ruin it's reputation and leave a lot of people pretty disillusioned.

I seriously want to write to Nfu-Oh france and complain but what would I write? Or maybe I should buy myself some spectraflair powder....

I just got my first bottle of Nfu Oh ever (#61) and I honestly wondered what all the fuss was about from the looks of the bottle. Must be due to the new formula. The color is truly gorgeous when applied, though, so I'm very pleased, overall.

I am truly bummed to see that NFU Oh changed there formula... Guess it was bound to happen! They sold so many bottles.. probably cheaper to use less Holo powder.

But Thumbs Down!! BoooO!

Ahhh just lost my post! It was long and i was almost finished! bah

Hi i'm new to the thread though i've been a follower for a while and have used it as a resource. Nfu Oh should pay Ivpiggy royalies or something for the amount of people she has sent their way, it almost makes you think that there some kind of narcotic in the polish to make them soooo addictive! :) j/k

I have a few question so bear with me, I have 61, 51, 59, JS-27 and aquabase. I think there is a problem with my aquabase, as it dries little bald areas happen like paint on plastic, the first time i put 61 over it i didn't notice and it came out all lumpy, i dont understand why. The only thing that works is if i do 2 coats of base, so did i get a bad bottle or does anyone else have that problem?

Another prob i had was after i took off the purple beauty that is 51 i saw that it stained my nails blue! It make me hesitate about using my bottle of JS-27, i really want to try doing the dégradé effect that Ivpiggy has shown but i dont want smurf fingers!

Ok last prob from the pics 59 looks like a berry toned red with flakies but what i have looks like 58 an autumnal looking crimson with flakies. I'm a redhead so i have white pinkish skin so crimson on my nails makes my skin look very red, cool tones look good on me hence my love of all purple polish. Could someone post a pic of 59 by it's self that is 2-3 coats so i can see the color? Thanks :)

Man, what a bummer with the formula change! I know a few people have told fabulostreet about it. As far as I know they were going to try and get to the bottom of it.

It's too bad it has less hologram powder in it. I was getting ready to order some polish from them. Now I'm thinking I might wait a bit and hopefully they will go back to the old formula.

I am not an expert, but I heard ridges on nails may effect the application of polish.

For 51, I have not used it for a while and trying to recall how I cleaned my nails.. :p I used a cotton ball with barely enough polish remover and soak it on the nail for about 30 seconds then wipe in one stroke. If there were polish left on my nails, i used a new cotton ball with enough polish remover to clean again. Sometimes, I used q tips to clean the nail polish around my cuticle.

hope this help.

My problem with aquabase wasn't because of ridges, my nails were buffed and clean. As for 51 while it was more difficult to get off then regular polish it wasn't that, i still had polish on my nails that gave me smurf fingers, i tried repeatedly to take of the polish but no go which is what made me realized they were stained. :cool:
