Essie "Turquoise And Caicos" Plus Glitter

Essie, Nfu Oh 23 comments


What It Is

Nfu Oh's "GS01" (a Glitter Series polish) over Essie's "Turquoise & Caicos" (from the 2010 Resort Collection). GS01 is an almost pastel, multi-colored glitter. "Turquoise & Caicos" is a semi-sheer polish that can build [eventually] into an opaque finish.  

Application

Loved the color of "T&C" but its application was a pain in the butt! Runny and sheer. Bad combo. I tried thicker layers to get better coverage but the polish ended up flooding my cuticles and causing bubbles. I was able to mask them with the glitter though :)
I know I show you Nfu Oh "GS01" ALL THE TIME but I love it! The glitters are small and not in-your-face... so, so pretty! Have I convinced you that you need some Nfu Oh's yet? :) I've seemed to convince myself that I need another one! You can check out my other Nfu Oh's by clicking HERE or visiting my "Inventory (Nfu Oh)" link on my navigation bar above!

    Great covering of bubbles, I haven't noticed any!
    That's exactly what I do if I get bubbles: make 'em glitter!

    And now I'm jealous of you NFU.OH collection :sighs:

    Yes, I *need* some Nfu Oh. I have a few on my Christmas list (along with a link) - I'm crossing my fingers that somebody pays attention to my list. LOL One of my coworkers walked by as I was reading your post and she said "OOOH! Get THAT one!" :D

    I wore this color the other day, and totally forgot to take a picture of it :(

    It looks so different with shimmer :)

    Sorry to hear your application of T&C was so bad, I actually didnt have any problems with it! Yes its sheer was very doable with 2/3 coats :) Love the color! And smart solution, glitters fixes every mani haha

    I just got a heap of Nfu Oh including several opal collection (flakies) and a holographic and love them! Wish they were easier to get in Australia - I have to get someone to order them in and then send them to me :( AT least I have ease of access to Ozotic :)

    Hey, just wondering if you could recommend/suggest a nfu oh "gs01" substitute? Not that easy for me to get in the uk sadly :(.

    I love what you did with this color. I passed on T&C since I have Nhu Foh 394, but now this has me re-thinking it....or maybe I should get GS01?? At first glance at the thumbnail pic, I thought, "Wow she matched her mani with her ring!", then I saw what it really was and I'm like, "Oh, nevermind." Very cool. HA!

    This is really pretty! I think Turq and Caicos is the only nail polish I've worn in a long long time where strangers were complimenting me on my nail color. It's fricken gorgeous and that glitter just adds to the loveliness.

    You convinced me I needed some Nfu Oh glitters! I'm waiting for this one and GS-07 to arrive in the mail. I can't wait to try them!

    Glitter fixes everything. I also own Essie Turq & Caicos...not a fan...I'm sticking with ChG For Audrey.

    At first glance I thought your macro 'picture in picture' shot was a big matching cocktail ring!

    The color is gorgeous - as is the glitter top coat.

    Thank you all for the comments! :)

    Suzie- I think China Glaze's "Snow Globe" is similar to this polish. Not exactly the same though... I think the glitter is larger.

    Oh thanks for the comparison shade. I had a look on eBay last night and my usual/favourite US seller had CG polar ice so I ordered that, today the same seller has snow globe! Hmm can I justify buying both!?

    Thanks again :) love your blog and your pics.
