Models Own Beth's Blue

I have to say... I absolutely love this color!  I love Models Own polish in general.  But this color is just so pretty!

 This is 2 coats of Models Own Beth's Blue.  You can't really tell, but I topped it with a coat of Nfu-Oh 40 for some flakies.  Then I added some interest with LA Colors Silver stripes.  I loved this mani even though it's so simple!

You can see the flakies a bit better in this shot, but not really.  It wasn't much better in real life either.  But how awesome is this color?  It's a greyed out light blue but not so gray that it doesn't look blue.  I don't know, it's just so pretty!

Application was amazing.  Very smooth, good coverage, good wear.  If I wanted to leave it on, it probably could have lasted a week.  But I'm just not that patient, lol.  I would definitely recommend this brand and this color.

Nfu-Oh 61

Ok, so let me just start out saying... I totally didn't listen to you girls about this polish.  I heard everyone saying you can't use regular base coat... but I still did anyway.  Oh man, was that a mistake.  This application was AWFUL!!  And then I had horrible chipping after just a day... so disappointing.  But pretty.

I tried a bunch of different angles to get the holo greatness to show up.  Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day and I had to put Seche Vite on to keep it from chipping, so I dulled out all the greatness.  Anyway, this is about 3 coats of Nfu-Oh 61, the silver holo.  I put some sticker jewels on top to make it more interesting.  However, the chipping was crazy and even with Seche, I couldn't save it and it was only on for 2 days.  Blah.  It went on like a streaky mess, which is apparently from the base coat, even though I use a sticky one... Nail Life Gripper (from Sally's).  If I attempt this again, I will not use a base coat and see how it goes.  Until then, I'm very disappointed.  Oh well.
