My search came to a halt when I realized I couldn't hardly give you the perfect "Tiffany blue" polish without something to base my findings on. I needed a Tiffany box! Well, I finally got one. And a bag. And a baggy. And another baggy:
Actually, I borrowed these from my aunt. I don't have any Tiffany jewelry, nor do I plan to buy any. I guess it isn't my style...

Does anyone else find it odd that the color of the Tiffany packaging is so varied. For being allegedly "copywrited" you would think they'd be more consistent across the board with their color ... I'm sure there is probably someone that would insist "They are all the same". Kind of like OPI's "My Private Jet". Haha.

Here are the polishes I've collected, plus a few I just threw in there for the sake of color comparisons:
I don't really have time to swatch these all individually for this post so here they are on a nail wheel. I think this works better anyways. You get to see them side-by-side!
I suppose you want to know what they are...

1- China Glaze "Turned Up Turquoise" (Neon. Doesn't show in photo.)

2- Nfu Oh #206

3- Essie "Turquoise & Caicos"

4- China Glaze "For Audrey"

5- Nfu Oh #394

6- Nfu Oh #172

7- Essie "Mint Candy Apple"

8- OPI "Hey Get In Lime"

9- OPI "Damone Roberts 1968"

Nfu Oh #394 matches best with the box. It needs a touch of white to lighten it up but otherwise the color and hue are almost perfect!

Essie "Turquoise & Caicos" matches it to a "T". It is exactly the same color.

Below is a look at the colors side-by-side with a white background and also with a black one. Hope you enjoyed my post! I can finally sleep in peace!

OPI "Red My Fortune Cookie"

This challenge is to be inspired by the book cover. Use colors, shapes, etc. that are found in its design. You may use elements/ideas found inside of the book (such as characters or things) but be sure that your nails are still inspired by the OUTSIDE! When you are done, photograph your nails with your book so we can see how the cover translates onto your nails.

Nfu Oh #531

Here is one of my recently acquired Nfu Ohs. This is #531.

#531 is a slightly unsaturated green. It is somewhat of an army green... This polish had amazing consistency. I used 2 coats but I think I could have gotten away with 1 if I'd polished under better lighting... As far as application goes, this is the best Nfu Oh polish I own. It doesn't hurt that I looooove the color, too :)

Look at the detailing on these Nfu Oh bottles. It's just adorable!

I've seen some other swatches online that show this color being much lighter. I was expecting it to be a light green, like the color of jade (the stone). It is obviously much darker than that. Gorgeous non the less...

Just a quick post to let you know I'm adding some more bottle photos to my Nfu Oh page! You can check it out by clicking the link on my navigation bar above!

Nfu Oh #393

[What's With The Cattitude , Just Groovy , Ogre The Top Blue , 393]

See what I mean? Greenish. But definitely blue. And definitely not Tiffany blue... it's way too blue for that.

Aqua?

What do you think?

Nfu Oh #38 (Opal Flakes)

I always thought that this image was hard to work with... but actually, no! It's not at all! The trick is to line the stamp up with the "smile line" of your nail (where the nail bed turns into the white tip). If it doesn't completely cover the nail tip, just stamp over it again until it does! So easy...
Sorry that my nails are slightly discolored. I don't have a good base color for french manicures. Any suggestions? Preferably OPI...

After you stamp, you should apply a top coat. I used Seche Vite. It worked pretty well... No smudging. The only problem I had was with my right hand. I must have been pressing the brush too hard because it picked up and replaced some pink polish where it shouldn't have (index finger).

I felt the need to do something different and this is what happened:

Notice the black line. Without it, the manicure looks very unfinished.

Skin toned color- OPI "Canberra't Without You"

(topped with Essie "Matte About You" to reduce shine)

Dark Red- OPI "We'll Always Have Paris"

Sorry to do this to you, but there will be no challenge this week... I'm sorry! I've got 2 reasons:

The challenge will be returning next Monday though! BUT... before then, I'd like some suggestions from you! What would you like to see as a nail design theme? Any specific colors? Motifs? Materials? Give me your ideas! :) Thanks a lot guys! Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

This is the 2nd idea I came up with for my "Analogous" challenge. I chose colors completely opposite than the first set, which was yellow and green...

Red Color- OPI "Red My Fortune Cookie"

Red-Purple Color - OPI "All That Razz-berry"

Purple Image- Konad plate M25 (in Violet Special Polish)
