FNUG Holographics & Urban Look.

Who doesn't love a bit of in your face holo?  And when it comes to in your face holo, one of the absolute front runners is FNUG.  Last year, this Danish based nail polish company came out with a set of three holographic polishes together with an aqua base.  The three shades are fairly classic holo shades, silver, pale blue and pale green and they all have a crazy strong linear rainbow flare.

The three holographic shades apply best when worn over aqua base. They are also fantastic when worn over a gel base.  I've worn these over Gelicious Optional base coat and the finish is amazing because the base colour is so smooth.  The other thing I love about these FNUG holographic polishes, particularly compared to the Layla holos is that these are much more opaque.  Because of that, these are excellent for stamping.!

Pshychedelic - silver linear holo.

Fantastica - pastel green linear holo

Futuristica - light blue linear holo.

Urban Look - a soft blue leaning, light grey creme.  FNUG also have an excellent range of on trend polishes in other finishes, particularly a lot of cremes.  This one was a lovely colour and a smooth, easy to apply formula.

Here is a dottie manicure I created with a combination of all the FNUG holographic shades.  The holo shades really complimented Urban Look, although I could work on my dot placement I think.

The FNUG aqua base coat, not actually shown in these photos, is perfect for wearing under holographic polishes like these. It's also perfect under the new China Glaze holographic collection I recently purchased.

A large range of FNUG polishes are available internationally from Llarowe.

Also, a reminder that today is the last day to get your entries in for my Guess that Polish Giveaway.  Tomorrow I will reveal the names of anyone that got the highest score as well as announce the prize winners and of course, reveal the names of all the polishes.

Polishes provided for review.

FNUG Fantastica and a GIVEAWAY!

I was recently contacted by the very generous Annette from Shoppe Eclecticco in Singapore, asking if I would like to try a few of the polishes she stocked in her store.  To tell you the truth, I didn't actually know about her store, so when I checked it out I was super impressed with all the different brands that she carries. 

She carries lots of international brands, such as Layla, Barry M, HITS, Jade, Nfu Oh, Man Glaze and FNUG as well a big selection of Indie, or as they are called on their site 'Artisanal' polishes.  I love sites like this because you can get a great variety of polishes from different brands, and not have to pay separate shipping costs from various different suppliers.

One of the polishes that I was sent to try was FNUG Fantastica. Anyone that is a holo whore *hands up* is going to know about the amazingness that are the FNUG holographic polishes.

Fantastica is a very pale green linear holographic.  It has excellent coverage and can nearly be worn just at one coat.  For these photos I have two coats with no top coat.   I'll let the pictures do the talking on this one!

I did a comparison with my other pale green linear holographic polishes, Nfu Oh 66 and Layla Jade Groove.  My bottle of Nfu Oh 66 is several years old and from the 'original' batch which was the most holographic.  The base colour of all these polishes is almost identical, but the linear effect is slightly different.  Each of these shows two coats with no top coat.

Now for the giveaway part.  As I said at the top of my post, the very generous Annette from Shoppe Eclecticco is sponsoring three prizes in this giveaway, as such we are asking you to follow Shoppe Eclecticco on Facebook to enter.  You can also get additional entries for following Shoppe Eclecticco on Twitter, Instagram or signing up to their newsletter.

You don't have to be a follower of More Nail Polish to enter the giveaway, but I will be giving away a bottle of Picture Polish Kryptonite to one lucky follower, so starting following (if you don't already) if you want to win that prize.

It is open internationally and closes in two weeks time (11 November 2012)

There are three prizes available from Shoppe Eclecticco for this giveaway.

• One for my Australia/New Zealand readers,
• One for my Asian readers and
• One for my readers elsewhere in the world.

Following the drawing of the first three winners, a final draw will be held to determine the winner of the bottle of Picture Polish Kryptonite.

FNUG Supermodel Review

A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed the FNUG holos and I'm pretty sure I promised I'd also show you another of their polishes at some point so here it is :

Supermodel is a coral creme that almost falls into the apricot category. Bright but with a strong white base that softens it, it's the kind of color you can wear all around the year. I had no trouble with application and two coats were enough to reach full coverage. 

Overall :

I love this kind of colors and there's just something about the FNUG bottles that brings out the collector in me : they're simple and epurated but also so classy at the same time! I think I'm going to have to order a couple more...

FNUG products can be purchased directly from FNUG.com or through local / web stockists.

Unknown FNUG, press release

FNUG Holographic range for 2012

Glitter, scattered, linear, thin, coarse, smooth, glossy,... So many different holographic effects now coexist on the shelves, but to the purists, the true, strongest, have to be the smooth linear ones.

FNUG, the high end Danish based nail polish company, is now extending its lines to the global market and, to our great pleasure, has very recently released holographics!

Futuristica,  Fantastica, Psychedelic and the aqua base :

Futuristica

strong sky blue linear holo

Fantastica

strong pastel green linear holo

Psychedelic

strong silver linear holo

Formula on all 3 of these was exactly what you'd expect from a smooth linear holographic : perfectly even over an aqua base but a patchy mess over a regular base coat so the aqua base is definitely a must!

I used 2 coats of each over the aqua base and POW!!! The strongest linear holos I have ever laid my eyes on!!!

The rainbow is so strong and sharp, it's almost blinding... And I swatched them under my regular OTT lamp that dulls so holo effect, so I can't even begin to imagine how they would look like in full sun :O

I didn't use topcoat in these swatches, Fnug Top Model Top Coat is supposed not to attenuate the effect but I found that it did very slightly. I would definitely still use it for everyday as it was very subtle but for review purposes, I wanted them unaltered.

I thought I had strong silver holos, China Glaze, Make up Store, Gosh, Jessica, even Chanel Holographic (this one being the strongest so far)... but FNUG put them all to shame! I've pulled a couple to show you how they all compare :

As you can see, Gosh and Jessica are very similar, Chanel is stronger but they all look feeble in comparison. In conclusion, I'll just say : you need them, they're all MUST HAVES in my book!

FNUG products can be purchased directly from FNUG.com or through local / web stockists.

They retail for 125,00 DKK / $21 / £13 / 16€ (8.5ml) and ship to most countries.
