True Blood Week: Nfu Oh GS-14

Flash 
Indoor Lighting

The True Blood character I am drawing inspiration from today is Lafayette Reynolds. The polish I chose is Nfu Oh GS-14. It has a black base and is loaded with medium-sized silver and rainbow holographic glitter. I chose this polish because Lafayette, and the polish alike, is flamboyant and colorful. I love when he wears shimmery outfits and makeup, my favorite being a black and shimmery silver look, he once wore. This polish would look great with "fierce" Lafayette-style cat eye makeup. The pictures above feature two coats of polish. The Nfu Oh brand is available online in the US at fabuloustreet.com. The retail price is $12.50 and all orders ship free for the US.

China Glaze Tarnished Gold is a golden shimmery, metallic crackle polish. It is a mid-tone gold and it looks similar to OPI Blasted Gold. It is less champagne and more of a true gold than the Sephora version. In the top two swatches I used it over RBL Purple Haze which is a medium tone violet. Purple Haze is more purple than the lavender it appears in my pictures. My friend Jacque suggested I try flakies with crackle and the extra swatches are for her, lol. In the following swatches I used a teal blue on my index finger, navy blue on my middle finger, and a purple on my ring finger. The flakie polish peeks through as Jacque hoped, like burning embers. I found it interesting that in the purple swatch with flakiness sandwiched in between, the gold crackle turned rose gold, which will add a free extra color to your crackle arsenal. It reminds me of swatches I have seen of China Glaze Latticed Lilac. So have fun and pick a metal crackle up for summer. China Glaze Metallic crackles are available online and in store at Sally Beauty Supply at a retail price of $6.99.
