. . . because I don't do enough Nfu Oh enabling in the regular NP threads . . . (^(oo)^)
Nfu Oh is one of my favourite brands of nail lacquer - they have a stunning variety of colours and finishes - opalescent flakies, holographics, jellies, glitters, creams, metallics . . . you get the idea! They also make a great line of cuticle oils and nail treatments, as well as nail art glitter & accessories.
Since it's a little difficult to find info about the brand, I thought it would be helpful to start a thread and aggregate some of the disparate information floating around. Since swatches can also be hard to come by for all but a few colours, it would be great if we can all share swatches here as well (^(oo)^)
First, a few general facts. All Nfu Oh lacquers are manufactured in France, and the brand is 5-Free. (Ingredients: Ethyl Acetate; Butyl Acetate; Nitrocellulose; Acetyl Tributyl Citrate;Isobutyl Acetate; Isopropyl Alcohol; Adipic Acid/Neopentyl; Silica; Styrene-Acrylates Copolymer;N-Butyl Alcohol; Cl 26100)
Nfu Oh is sold in the USA via fabuloustreet.com and can be shipped anywhere in the EU from nagelgroothandel.nl. If you are located elsewhere and cannot find a local distributor of Nfu Oh, send an email inquiry to debbie [at] nznailacademy.co.nz, which is the New Zealand distributor, and they will work with you (^(oo)^)v
So, now that you know where to get them . . . what is there to get? Nfu Oh lacquers are only identified by number, but now you'll have your very own little piggy cheat sheet to lead you to some of the more exciting offerings - what fun! \(^(oo)^)/
Flakies (#37-#60) - large, opalescent flakes in clear & coloured jelly bases - think glitter on steroids (^(oo)~) Flakies will flash all colours of the rainbow, but tend to skew towards one end of the spectrum.
Glitter (#GS01-#GS14) - white, silver, and gold glitters of various sizes & shapes
Jellies (#131, #501-#570) - Many of the colours in the "Creme Series" are actually jellies - saturated with colour even with one coat, yet highly buildable. Excellent for dégradé manicures, as a base for layering flakies, or just to achieve that glossy hard-candy jelly look.
Creme (#132, #301-#499) - classic opaque, milky cream finish
Jelly Syrup (coming soon) - this is billed as a super-sheer jelly series, highly buildable and thin enough to layer multiple coats without becoming too thick on the nail.
Part of what prompted me to start this thread was the frustrating experience of clicking through Fabuloustreet's product listings one by one in order to see the swatches. Then, the little piggy made an exciting discovery, which she would like to share with you! Behold, the little piggy's internet sleuthing jackpot! (^(oo)^)
