this pretty came in the mail yesterday.  it took a while to arrive, thank you Canada Post strike.  the folks at FabulouStreet were really wonderful about working around the strike.  i highly recommend them if you're looking to buy yourself some Nfu-Ohs :)

i unwrapped my new Nfu-Oh while eating dinner out at a restaurant and could.barely.stop.myself from applying a coat right then and there.

as soon as i got home it went on over my skittles mani.  it has a wonderfully different effect on the different colours.  my favourite, although i could not capture it with the camera, is the funky way it creates a shimmery lilac/blue over the yellow polish. 

i'm excited to try it over black :)

pardon the second rate pictures and dry cuticles.  i was way too excited about taking the pictures and moisturizing my cuticles was a thought that got pushed to the back of my mind in a fairly quick manner because i just.had.to.take.pictures.naow.  i take my photos near my living room window to take advantage of the natural light, but by the time we got home from errands and dinner the sunlight had waned and wasn't great for capturing the wonderful magic of Nfu-Oh 40.  so expect better pictures in the future :)

the polishes under the Nfu-Oh are Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Grape Going!, Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in Fashionista Orange, Hot Yellow and Be Seen Blue.  last but not least is China Glaze Reggae to Riches (fuchsia).

my retro mod dots "Monsters Inc" manicure died a horrible death last night.  my love and i have a deal... he cooks (i hate cooking), i do the dishes (he hates doing dishes).  it works out very well :)  we're both happy with the arrangement.  most of the time. 

i had been slacking on my end of the deal.  and the dishes piled up.  a lot.  so yesterday afternoon i did up a rather large load of them.  by hand... we don't have a dishwasher in our apartment. 

the tips of my mani starting chipping :(  ugh.  instead of touching it up (it was totally fixable), i just removed it completely last night in favour of trying out my new Nfu-Oh's.

the lighting in my living room is pretty sucky at night.  so when i did this one i didn't realize just how much the purple finger sticks out from the rest.  i'm very tempted to add some red dots to it to make it blend a little more with the rest of the mani.

i used Revlon's Top Speed Nail Enamel in Cherry as a base for Nfu-Oh 59 and Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl as a base for Nfu-Oh 51.

i think the entire blogisphere has seen Nfu-Oh's flakies.  and every nail blogger has posted pictures of both the bottles and the polish on the nail.

so this post is just a repeat of what you've probably already seen.

but i can't help myself!!  i got my very first Nfu-Oh flakies in the mail yesterday and i cannot resist the temptation to post pictures of the bottles here.  i am so in love with the bottles!  i don't want to put them away in my stash box... i want to leave them out and display them on the living room bookshelf!!

i got colours 59 (the redish one) and 51 (the purple one).

my current mani is in serious trouble of being removed so i can try these babies out.

pssst... click to supersize the picture.  i didn't edit it so it's HUGE when you click through :)
