Review: Gosh - Fix Base Coat, just as good as Nfu Oh Aqua Base?

Hi guys, maybe you remember my review on Nfu Oh's Aqua Base? Nfu Oh Aqua base is a base coat especially designed to go under hard to apply holographic polishes. I'm really happy with this base coat because it works absolute wonders. When it comes to applying, but also extending the wear majorly.

Some weeks ago I got an email from Marte, she told me about the Gosh Fix Base Coat and how it should have a similar effect! Ironically I've had this base coat for ages, months before I even ordered the Nfu Oh Aqua Base, but I never tried it beneath holographic polishes.

Nfu Oh vs. Gosh

Marte was right, these two base coats are really similar, the have the same structure and almost an identical smell, but do they both work...?

My answer is yes! I tried it with Nfu Oh holos and the notoriously hard to apply Gosh Holographic nail polish and they went on sooo easily. You'll get better coverage, which allows you to use less product for the same end result. Both these both coats work really nicely with matte and suede polishes as well.

Conclusion

So, if it's hard to get your hands on Nfu Oh, or you don't like to order online and have access to this brand, definitely give the Gosh Fix Base Coat a shot! Thank you so much, Marte, for the great tip!

Relatively the price is quite a bit higher than the Aqua Base (9.10 EUR for 18 ml) though. Gosh Fix Base Coat costs 6.95 EUR for a bottle of 7 ml.

Thank you all for stopping by and have an awesome day!

Let's combine some glitter and flakies!

Oh no! Yesterday Blogger decided to have my blog post for dinner! So if you experienced some weird things going on around here, it's due to crazy Blogger! I might rewrite it soon, but today I have something else to show you. I've worn both colors before but never combined them. I layered Nfu Oh #56 on top of Gosh' Blue Monday. I just love to layer flakies over glitter, it creates an amazing depth. Application of both polishes is good, but Blue Monday is pretty sheer and needs 3 or 4 coats.

The funniest thing happened today though, I was snapping pics in the kitchen, next to window, and a man stopped to see what I was doing! I only noticed after a while, he stood there watching, and stayed there for like 2 minutes! I wasn't even dressed yet :'). Of course I ran away, he must have thought I was crazy, making pictures of my hands like that. Did you ever get caught like this? :-D

Gosh - Rainbow

Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? I hope great :-). Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time today so this will be a very short post, sorry about that!

Let's jump straight to the nail polish: Gosh Rainbow has got to be one of the finest nail polishes Gosh created. It's a top coat filled with orange-green duochrome flakies. Imagine all the combinations you can make with this! My favorite combination has to be with black though. I layered it on top of BeYu's #318, a lovely, easy to handle, black creme. I applied 2 coats of black and only one coat of Gosh Rainbow. The finish of Rainbow is really smooth, not bumpy or gritty at all. Don't you just love the way the colors change?

Oh before I forget: I get a lot of questions about how I paint my nails, especially around the cuticle area. Expect a post about this very soon!

I've got to run now, take care and till next time!

Gosh - Blue Monday

Hi everyone! It's thursday already, only one more day till the weekend! I've been quite busy and since I work from 9 to 18h, I rarely get to see daylight this time of year. I'm feeling quite the vampire. But Edward is nowhere to be found, alas. Anyway! This was trying to tell you the reason why today's pictures have been produced in our little ministudio :-D.

This is another jelly based shimmer/glitter polish by Gosh. Blue Monday is a medium blue and the formula was pretty much the same as Gasoline, very smooth, but it requires at least 3 coats and a topcoat to create that rich sparkly look. I like it! What do you think?

PS. Another Dutchie, with thepretty name Michelle ;-), started a blog a few days ago. Please don't forget to take a look at her Lacquerfiles!

Gosh - Gasoline

Oooh no! It's monday already! Time goes by way too fast, or the weekends are ridiculously too short ;-). I hope you had a good one! I couldn't resist playing with the lightbox again as you can see! :-D.

Onto the nail polish! Meet Gosh's Gasoline, a pretty purple jelly based shimmer/glitter. I adore the color of this one, the jelly base is darkmagenta, but the shimmer is a blueish purple, which really adds more contrast.

As you can see the color really depends on the lighting! The formula was pretty good, like with all the Gosh polishes I own. However, I did find this polish to be too sheer. I applied 3 coats and left it at that, but it would've been prettier with 4.

On another note: I received a lot of tags, thank you guys!! I think it's really sweet and appreciate it a lot! However, I don't think I have the time this week to address them all and wouldn't know which one to choose since I got four different ones, so hope you'll forgive me..:-(

Thanks for reading and till next time!

Gosh, it's Holographic!

Hi guys! Monday already! What's everyone up to today??

You're looking at Holographic by Gosh, and I've been literally stalking drugstores to find this one for ages! Finally found it last weekend so naturally I couldn't wait to try her! I like Gosh. Their nail polish formula is quite good and I actually love their makeup as well. Although it would be nice to see more choice in np colors.

The formula is tricky, kinda lumpy, but it all works out in the end, and it dries fast! I applied 2 coats and no top coat, and I adore it. It's probably the most dense holo I own, I can't stop looking at it!

I might indulge in some more holos, I've noticed different brands make different holos, who do you think makes the hottest holos ever?
