Purge Wars: Battle of the Silver Holos

by - 09 June

I'm taking a break from purging cremes to take a look at my ultimate vice: holos. I can't get enough of them! However, I thought it would make this whole process easier if I could purge from my beloved holo stash.






Layla Mercury Twilight, Gosh Holographic, Nfu.Oh 61



I only did comp pics because swatching each of these with aqua base would've taken more time than I had.






Pinky to middle: 2 coats Nfu.Oh 61, 2 coats Gosh Holographic, 3 coats Layla Mercury Twilight














I purchased my Nfu.Oh 61 October 2010, and it was one of the dud batches. I have a few other bottles that I'll have to compare it to.



Gosh Holographic is very holo, and out of these three, it looks the least dull indoors. I love how smooth this is.



Layla Mercury Twilight is the most holo of the bunch. It's gorgeous!



I think it's pretty clear that the battle casualty is Nfu.Oh 61. I think I've heard that 61 is back on track and no longer dud city, but I can't say for sure until I swatch my other bottles from more recent batches.



I'm going to keep Holographic and Mercury Twilight for now until I have a chance to comp them against some of my other silver holos.



Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    I think I have Nfu Oh 61 and like it. I will have to check my stash, but I think they only make 1 silver holo and I know I have one. I want the Gosh one, but can't get my hands on it.

     Yep, they only make 1 silver holo, but Nfu.Oh has released a few different versions with varying strengths of holo.

    Gosh is releasing a limited run of Holographic at the end of the summer, but only in a few locations. Anyway, I think it may be easier to get during this time.

    I have GOSH Holographic and LOVE it, though it was a love/hate relationship until a Canadian e-tailer started selling Nfu-Oh and I was able to get the Aqua Base - OMG what a difference it made!  I wanted to scream before that :P

    i've heard this rummor, but i've never seen anyone talking about it in a post or a blog straigtly. it's always like that, on a commentary, "an passant". Could you tell please, where did you hear about it? I'm crazy about holographic nail polishes, and this rummor really gave me high hopes!

    I emailed GOSH, and they said they'd be releasing it for 4 weeks in Holland and Belgium only.

     Laylas are available at aveyou.com, which I think ships to Canada. They have great coupon codes sometimes.
