Best Holo Ever – Nfu Oh 61 Can Take On Minx Hologram Nails
You guys, I’ve reached holographic nail nirvana thanks to Nfu Oh!
As you may remember I received my first Nfu Oh haul a few weeks back and I’ve been dying to wear the holo, #61, but had to wait until the Aqua Base came back in stock. Well my second order arrived on Thursday so naturally my weekend manicure choice was Nuf Oh 61! I wasn’t sure what to expect based on the polish’s bland appearance in the bottle but on the nail, this baby can give Hologram Minx a run for its money. Ever since Beyonce rocked golden holographic Minx at the Grammy Awards fanatics have been trying to replicate the look. Well, consider #61 the silver version of those nails at a fraction of the cost. |
I’ve seen quite a few YouTubers attempt to replicate Beyonce’s look and of them all, Miss80Million did it best with her “Counterfeit Nails.”
However, if you don’t want to try mixing, layering and blending colors, just snap up a bottle of this Nfu Oh instead. |
Pictures can’t really do Nfu Oh 61 justice but I took a stab at trying capture its prismatic goodness for you. What truly wowed me about this polish, outside of it being the most holographic shade I’ve worn, is the base color. The silvery base is so reflective you would almost think I’m wearing Minx. And in the sunlight, well all I can say is, “Shut it down!” This takes bling to a whole new level.

The only drawback to the Nfu Oh holographic series is that you MUST use the Aqua Base with them. I tried applying #61 over a few different base coats and it was a streaky patchy nightmare with all of them. The Aqua Base makes all the difference people. INVEST!
Application tips: The Aqua Base and holographic polishes are a bit thick and tricky to apply. Use thin, even coats to avoid a lumpy finish. Believe me, the extra effort is well worth it. Also, don’t panic if the finish looks cloudy when you apply top coat. It will return to its holo state once the top coat dries.
Nuf Oh polishes and Aqua Base can be purchased online at FabulouStreet.com. Nfu Oh polishes and treatments retail for $12.50/ea for a .6oz bottle. Shipping is FREE to US residents on FabulouStreet.
Who’s itching to place a Nfu Oh order? Where are my fellow #61 fans? Have you found a base coat other than the Aqua Base that works as well? While there is no gold, that I know of, would the peachy #62 make a good stand in?
Disclosure: I purchased both products myself from FabulouStreet. For more info view my Disclosure Policy.
Can anyone tell me what the difference between nfu oh’s #61 and #66? On the website it looks the same to me. Thanks
What topcoat did you use with this?
I just ordered #61 and #63 and I can’t wait!! I wish I could order more but they are pricey :/
ohh never mind I just read some previous comments and you already answered the question! lol sorry
where can I get the nfu-oh holographic colors??
[...] Oh #61-This was the only non-flakie polish that I got. I had seen swatches on All Lacquered Up and couldn’t resist. I was dubious about her claim that the Aqua Base was a must for this [...]
I finally painted my nails with this last night but used Seche Base. (It hasn’t failed me yet, so why mess with success?) Although the first coat had me worried–it looked a bit uneven and patchy–after two the polish was smooth and perfect! So there is an alternative to the Aqua Base.
i have looked liek 50 places online, and i cant find it anywhere!!!
It’s so strange how tricky those holographic polishes can be to apply, but I found that if you apply the polish really, really quick on your nails it works just fine! I’ll try the aqua base and see if it makes any difference! Thanks for the tip!!
I found a great holographic nail polish at Make Up Store. It’s gorgeous! I did o review on it on my Blog if you’re interested.
hey guys, can anyone tell me where i can find this?? Ive looked all over the place and i simply cannot find it anywhere! ive also looked for China glaze’s and Chanel’s…no luck there either…anyone?
I LOVE this color!! Where can I order it?
You can buy this as she has already stated at http://www.fabuloustreet.com
Also someone earlier asked the difference between #61 and #66 While #61 is silver based, #66 is Green based.
I also own #60 and GS14 in this brand. I am about to order #51 and #52.
They are so amazing!!!
after a long wait #61 is back in stock and I got myself a botte. It sold out so fast. I mean it was literally a few minutes. The site almost crashed. It’s on it’s way to me. I can’t wait. Nfu Oh is the best polish ever. I have #65 which is the most beautiful blue holo ever. I have #66 which is like a aqua marine green holo another beauty. I want at least 2 bottles of each holo, if they could stay in stock, lol. I think #121 my be my next order.
they sold our again! i was just on fabulousstreet. will they make more? how do you when they are restocked? aaaahhhhhh!
I would email FabulouStreet and have them add you to their email update list. They do restock all the colors, I just don’t know the schedule for it.
I thought this would be a perfect manicure for today, the 4th Of July. I wasn’t wrong!
I hadn’t yet tried this color since buying it upon your recommendation. I also bought the Aqua Base.
I definitely had to use 2 coats of the Nfu Oh #61. I didn’t use a top coat.
Wow! This is awesome! I’m really glad I bought this.
Back in stock as of 4:55pm EST today – snatched up two bottles and a bottle of Aqua base. So far (it’s 5:20pm EST now) it’s still available. Apparently the last restock sold out in around a half hour, so if you’re still looking to pick some up get out there now!
I *just* got #61 and the aqua base in the mail today BOOYAH! I had ordered #63 and some flakies but these were OOS.
FabulouStreet is definitely worthy of their namesake! I think this will be my mani next week!
Linear Holos are incredible!!
i ordered #62 and got it saturday. omg i love it. and i didnt get the aqua base but i think i will soon. i have a few streaks but its not that bad without it[the base]
loveeeee itttt
Just got it and I must say I am really disappointed, it looks so boring. Are there different batches?
Oh no, I’m so sorry! I don’t know why it would be different
I;ll give it a try, but in the bottle it just looks like silver nailpolish. Hopefully the holo goodness just shows up on the nail and not in the bottle
Oh you haven’t put it on yet? Never rely on the bottle.
Yes to Mia. it’s not as holo as the old version but still very holo. I emailed them and they said that they’ve changed their formula. =(
Is it true that the formula has changed? I just got the #61 today and it’s not as spectacular as it is in your photos. Does your polish have no holo in normal, indoor lighting? I see the holo a bit when near light sources like lamps, etc. I haven’t seen it in the sunlight yet though.
WHY did they change their formula?!?!
I have no idea. I assume it’s due to the increasing costs of holo pigment
Amazing!
did you ever experience issues with the login page on fabuloustreet? when i login and then go to the lacquer page it logs me out. when i add the item to my cart i have to login again which doesn’t let me do so -___- fml. losing hope LOL
dannggggittt. this polish is gorgeous
It’s been a while since I placed and order but I don’t remember it being an issue.
