Here are my follow-up swatches for this previous post...
Sorry for the inconsistent lighting. Some colors get washed out (by my stupid camera!) if they are photographed in direct light. I wandered around the house trying to find the best location to take pictures of each shade. I probably looked like a nut. I was all over the place with my face at my camera's display screen. I'm surprised I didn't trip over anything, including the cat!
Here are the shades I started collecting to try to find a Tiffany-blue. Nfu Oh #172, 206, & 394, as well as China Glaze's For Audrey. I bought #172 and #206 based on their color from the pictures online. Once I received them and saw how off I was, I asked Jocelyn (at Fabuloustreet) to help me find the closest match.
#172
This is that color I talked about in another post. It is almost identical to Essie's Mint Candy Apple. A gorgeous color, but not what I was looking for. I'd put this in the range of sea foam greens. The formula for #172 isn't as nice as Essie's. It's kind of streaky. This was 3 thick coats.#206
For Audrey
I think I had told you that I bought this and then gave it to my sister. Well, she didn't use it so she gave it back! Yay! This is supposed to be a Tiffany's inspired color. It's very dusty looking. Too dusty to settle for this as Tiffany-blue. Is it just me or does anyone else think it needs a touch of green? This was just 2 coats. #394

*lost for words....
You really know how to polish your nails...
All of these are beautiful! I love For Audrey, it's in my top 10 faves.
Best of luck finding a match!
I love all of them! Now I might wanna get Nfu Oh 394 too. *sigh*
Great comparison!! I really like 394!!! Thanks for the awesome Tiffany's blue shots.
I love it! Any idea how a "commoner" such as myself could get ahold of Nfu Oh #394...I can't find it anywhere!
:B
I think all look great, but I only have cg for audrey:)
Thank you all for taking time to comment! :)
Yardsticks 4 lunatics- I get all of my Nfu Oh polishes from fabuloustreet.com! There is a link on the left side of this blog :)
Great post! I'm really loving #206 (the dark one).
Nfu Oh 394 is the winner !!! I think I love it :)
Those all look fab!
I love this color in all shades. Would you be willing to do some comparison swatches so we could see them side by side?
Crystie- That is a great idea! I will do that. Can't believe I didn't think of it myself! :)
