Hello! I have an awesome color to show you all today. This is an older Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, the color name is Lavender Envy. I'm not really sure how old this is, but I found it recently at Big Lots. First off this is definitely meant to be a layering polish, I was up to five coats and still had VNL when I gave up on seeing how many coats it takes to get this polish opaque.
Lavender Envy has a great formula, it is really easy to work with. However it is older and totally stinky, it made my eyes water! I started this mani with two thick coats of OPI Rumple's Wiggin' a light purple from the Shrek collection. I then added one thin coat of Lavender Envy. I love, love, love the blue shimmer that is in Lavender Envy. It is gorgeous.
This picture shows how it looks in lower light situations. It looks like Rumple's Wiggin' with a little frost. Nice, but not amazing.
Now for the amazing! These pictures show the blue shimmer that comes out when the light hits this mani. The pictures really don't do this color justice.
Then I decided that I should try Lavender Envy over black. I started with two coats of Essie Licorice, then topped it with a thin coat of Lavender Envy. When Lavender Envy is layered over black an even better blue shimmer appears!
I totally love this polish! If you don't already have it and you need it like I did, I would suggest finding it soon before its gone forever.

Nfu Oh 51
Hello!
This is one of my all time favorite polishes! I just love how it morphs into a rainbow, and I am always amazed by the look of flakies, so this is a dream polish for me. :)
I started this mani off with two coats of Milani Totally Cool. Totally Cool has the same rainbow morphing tendencies as Nfu Oh 51 in the bottle, but on the nail it just has the red orange shimmer. Totally Cool has a thin formula, and on the first coat it is super patchy, but once the second coat is on it is an awesome deep shimmering purple.
I added a single coat of Nfu Oh 51 over Milani Totally Cool. Nfu Oh 51 is amazing! The formula is great, and since I was layering I only needed one coat. Layering Nfu Oh 51 over Milani Totally Cool ads so much more dimension to the polish. I topped this mani with one coat of Seche Vite.
I added a bunch of pictures because this mani looks so different from every angle. This polish makes me drool!
