Multichromatic Moons

This is my first attempt at half moons. I keep meaning to go into Office Works to get some hole punch reinforcements but I keep forgetting so I when I was in the news agency the other day I picked up some round stickers instead. They work just as well.

In shade.

 In sunlight.

I love this last photo because the semi circles have lined up! I used one coat of Cult Nails Nevermore and one coat of Ozotic 506.

The Post Every Man and His Dog Publishes

Yes, it's OPI Just Spotted the Lizard or Chanel Peridot or whatever the other yellow/green multichrome dupes are. I wasn't going to post this or take photos or even buy JStL because I don't love it in the photos. I definitely wasn't going to spend $50 on Peridot. But I have to say, and this is the only reason I am publishing this, is because this polish really surprised me. I actually enjoyed wearing this colour.

It such a polish I woud hate. I hate metallic shades. I hate gold. Omg I hate gold so much. But I really enjoyed wearing this colour I think it's because in the photos, you know, you don't see the colour shift much. But on the nail, it shifts to the gorgeous jade/turquoise colour that I really enjoyed looking at. I think the reason I don't hate it the gold either is because it's also a softer shade of gold not a yellow-y, brassy gold, it's muted. I like that. It's a very smooth polish. Like I said I quite enjoyed wearing it.

NFU OH MY GOD!

Hey, so a while back I promised an NFU Oh post. This is it. 

I'll give you some background on the relationship NFU Oh and I have. I have wanted one of these polishes for a good year. I think #51 was my very first lemming. And in July last year, I went hunting for them. It turned out they were sold in a nail salon five minute from my place, Vivd Nails. My precious NFU Oh's were there the whole time! And the week I found out about Vivid Nails and they had moved to another location! GUHHH! And I tried to order online from Vivid but the shipping costs confused me it looked like I was going to be paying $30 for one polish from a company that 20 mins away from me! That's just ludicrous! Plus I couldn't find any colours I liked. I couldn't find them anywhere else online that shipped to Australia. Then I saw that Fabulous Street shipped to Oz! Thank god! This NFU Oh 51 over Revlon Royal.

Oh I just love this polish! Both polishes! I love the multichromatic shimmer as well with the flakes. It just glows!

Prismatic!

Hey guys, today I have China Glaze Prismatic polish. I swear I did not like these polishes when I first saw them. I'm not a fan of multicolour glitter. I like colour order and groups. But I saw a couple of them layered over black and I decided that if I saw them in a shop, I'd get them. Which I did last week. I bought Liquid Crystal and this one, Optical Illusion.

This is 2 coats of Optical Illusion over Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

This photo was taken in the sun.

There isn't much of a colour shift, Liquid Crystal has more of shift but I still really love this one. I did try Ozotic 505 over it but 505 was too blue and changed the colour of polish too much for my liking.

I have to say. I really love these polishes. They are just so beautiful and unique. And really any photos just don't these polishes justice.

I'm On a Bit Of Layering Bender

When I wrote Bender in the title I said to out loud "Bender Bending Rodriguez" and rolling the R in Rodriguez. I love Bender (Futurama, anyone?). Anyway, I love and hate that Ozotic multichromes are fairly sheer. Great for layering but I'm sick of black undies! I thought I'd change it up a bit and use OPI Metallic 4 Life as well. So this is Essence Black is Back, Metallic 4 Life and Ozotic 504.

M4L is a really messy and clumpy polish. I'd love it to death if it was cleaner and smoother. Now I have to take my puppy for a walk because I mentioned the codeword for walk ie "Plonk" and now he is whinging. Hahaha I love him!

Layering.

Today I have this amazing layering mani. I haven't use my Kleancolor Chunky Holo too much because I was disappointed when I got them, also they smell rank! I LOVVEEE them in the bottles though, especially Bluebell and Purple. But of course they're the sheerest polishes ever and then they all look the same when layered. Boohoo. So I am really happy with this manicure because it looks better than just layering over a Chunky Holo.

 This is Essence Black is Back, which is the blackest black ever. A one coater. My saviour. Then I added Chunky Holo Purple, then Ozotic 504 and another coat of Chunky Holo Purple.

 I can't tell you much I adore mani. It is dimensional and just colours everywhere.

You can really see the multichrome of Ozotic 504and then the multichrome of Chunky Holo Purple. The only thing I didn't like about this manicure was amount of layers I had. A nail strengthener, a base coat 2 coats of Black is Back, 1 coat of Chunky Holo Purple, 1 coat of 504, 1 coat Chunky Holo Purple, and then 2 coats of Seche Vite. 9 coats! YUCKKK! But looks so pretty!

A Royal Multichrome.

I never understood the hype that Revlon Royal held. In photo's just wasn't my thing, but I was in Priceline (Aussie verison of Sally's) the other day and I saw it and thought why not! And oh my god, do I love it. It's super squishy and lovely. As as I type, I realise this I should have taken photos of it by itself. However I SLAPPED on some Ozotic 506 aka Reef. Ahh Ozotic multichromes. I am in love you. I want to take you out to dinner, give you my jacket when you are cold and take you home and have my way with you. LETS LOOK!

 These photos were taken in the sun. I feel that 506 gives a gorgeous purple shimmer to Royal

 And then you angle your nails and see a golden red, in true Ozotic style.

The next few photos were taken in the shade (or under my pergola).

Seriously look at that shift. AWW MY GOD! I love this combination. I am getting bored of layering multichromes over black, maybe because my black polishes are crap, so this is nice little change for me!

Ozotic and Hits Mish Mash

Well hello. I bought a few Ozotics the other day and in anticipation of it's arrival I decided to try my own Mish Mash with Ozotic 505 aka Eclipse and HITS Hefesto. Can I just say how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hefesto, but it's such a teeny tiny bottle and the sun hasn't been out much that this is only the third time I've worn it. That's strange for a gem like this. This what Ozotic 532 would look like.

  

I shouldn't have wore black underwear. For some reason I can't handle black polish. It's so messy. I use Orly Galaxy. I think next time I will use OPI Road House Blues or OPI Ink. I need to get a good black  creme polish. I hear a-england's Camelot is gold!
