52 is deceiving in the bottle (like a lot of Nfu Oh's.) Mine doesn't lean at all purple then (agreed that when swatched it looks as you describe.)

I've always wished that 52 looked on the nail as it did in the bottle.

I'll take a photo so you can see what I mean.

Thanks i appriciate it, i've been a bit on the fence about getting 52 but that was before i started liking blue polish. Found a blog that has swatches of all the Nfu Oh flakies which is good but the blogger's nails are super long and i find them a bit freakie, how does she do anything with her hands? lol Not being nasty i like long nails to a degree but i know that up to a certain length and once they go past it it gets harder to do things.

I am having very little luck getting an accurate looking photo of 52 (not helped by indoor lighting and using my camera phone!) ...but see below, this is getting close.

It swatches as more of a blurple. If you like purples it might be worth layering over a rich purple instead of a blue? I love blues and have very few purples otherwise I would try something out for you.

I like mine over Nfu Oh 118 or Cult Nails Time Traveler. Gorgeous stuff.

lol you could say that, the majority of my collection is purple. Thanks so much for going to the trouble of taking the pic, it looks so much more blue then in other pics ive seen of it. What does Nfu Oh 118 look like? i've got a serious yen for a really vibrant blue jelly. I have Time Traveler, it looks good with flakies over it.

Oh and i forgot to post the link to that blog i found, from the pic the swatch of 52 looks like the bottle shot , royal blue with turquoise flakes. But the site did confirm that Fabulous Street did send me the wrong polish like i thought. I wanted 59 but they sent me 58 even though the lable says 59, bah! 58 really is pretty and jammed packed with flakies but it's wrong for my skin tone, Crimson orange jelly with regular flakies, very vibrant the colors are very autumnal. I like orange but cant wear hot ones. Oh well ill see if i can swap it maybe.

Heres the link. http://nfuohusa.blogspot.co.il/2012/05/nfu-oh-flakies-series-swatch-links-37.html

So lucky now you can stock up on all the holos and not have to worry about them running out and waiting months till they restock, hmm but i don't see 64 there, strange the shop only got 63 and not 64?. What number is that royal blue one? I'll have to add it to my wish list for when i can allow myself to order more Nfu Oh's.

They call both 63 and 64. Just that I had to put them in the same row to make the perfect display. They are almost the same color.

Yeah, my 52 looks royal blue with green flakes in the bottle, but on the nail it's light purple with teal green flashes. I adore it. It gives me almost a Disney villain vibe. Very cool polish.

Quick question! I randomly found all the holos while shopping for something else (never even heard of this brand before then, forgive me!) and I was wondering if anyone had a particular colour recommendation from them? I liked the purple-y colour, but wasn't sure if it would give a decent holo effect.

With the handle on the brushing being what it is, some refer to Nfu-Oh's as Boobies. :D

The bottles are very cool. I love the top brushes. I didn't see all that detail online. I got my first NFU order today and I'm excited! I showed my 61 polish (and swatches online) to my DH and explained to him it's the coveted legendary color but I don't think he got it. Thankfully the wonderful ladies here do. ;)

I have a strange question.. how tall are Nfu Oh bottles?

Maybe just a bit taller than OPI's?

Yep, just slightly taller than an OPI bottle. I just took a quick photo for reference:
