Oh, how I wish I had Nfu.Oh GS14

I'm so bummed that Nfu.Oh GS14 is out of my price range at the moment. I've seen lots of love for it lately, but it is about 4x what I would normally pay per bottle, plus you have to buy a special base coat to keep it from clumping.

So...imagine my suprise when I was cleaning out my collection to find a similar looking polish from Icing, "blackout" is also black with micro-halo glitter! Having just put a new marble on my nails, I decided to slap these on the toesies since I couldn't wait to see how it compared.

 (excuse my fugly feet)

I'm happy with the results overall, the only issue I have is the eye-blinding amount of light that is necessary to get the full effect of the halo glitter. It seems to me that the only time you would get the "wow" factor is outdoors in the summer, and black is not typically a color I would wear in that season. I'm sure it would be amped up a bit on my fingernails, but it still wouldn't be 100%.

I think that all things considered, this is still a better polish than Nfu.Oh GS14 for the money. If you already wear black polish on a day-to-day basis, this would be a great way to spice it up, but maybe not a great investment if you don't wear dark colors very often. Save your money for the irreplaceable Nfu.Oh 61!
