I hope those of you who had a long weekend emjoyed yourself, I know I did :) Today I will be comparing two awesome holos! Like I said in
this haul post although I have around 4 other silver holos, I could not give up the opportunity to purchase Mercury Twlight from Layla when I saw it in store. Maybe one day will do a comparison on all of them if you are interested, but for now I picked Layla's strongest condenser in my collection, Nfu Oh 61. For your reference this this is the newer formula. So let's compare them shall we.
First close ups of the bottles, for whatever reason both of these holos hide in the bottle, doesn't really look like anything too special. I have noticed however that if you shake them up real good you can see a rainbow. I didn't capture this on camera because it goes away too fast.
Next up is formula, both polishes are different. Layla is very thin where Nfu Oh is thick and gloopy! Although I prefer the application of Layla, it does take longer to build up, for a full mani I would probably want three coats. In the swatches you see in this post, both polishes are two coats.
Although I have not worn either of these polishes yet I have worn the same brand and finish just different colours. From what I remember even without a top coat these lasted a long time! Definitely longer than my China Glaze holos. So which is more holographic?
... The winner is on the left, the Layla!! My camera sucks at capturing holos, Layla was sooo holo in person! Look how pretty!!

One last thing before I finish this post, check these two out in the shade. I love how the Nfu Oh looks like a chrome. For that and just not being holo enough I'm gonna have to day they are not dopplegangers. Do you need them both then? Probably not, I just cold not resist picking up a stronger silver holo :)
Great comparison! When I had my Nfu Oh 61, it seemed like it was more of a foil than my other holos. Laylas are my favorite holos right now, I love all the colors and the application is so smooth!
ReplyDeleteI agree Layla rocks! I just wish they weren't so pricy :(
DeleteOoooh I want holos too! Super niice.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteCurious which version of Nfu Oh #61 this is??? I read where after it was out of stock for eons it seemed like though most of last yr and prices were up to $60 range for a bottle on secondary market, then finally the company released a new batch. This last 'mix' apparently was not the same as the first few had been. I understand the new batches have less holo effect. I have 2 bottles from the original days and paid retail for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure exactly but I suspect it is the second "batch" or "version" s I stated in the post. I know some people were basing it off of the lot number on the bottle of the bottle. Mine is Lot No. 081102. Not sure what is means or if it has any meaning. You're lucky you got the first batch :)
