Ozotic - 621 (Red Holo!)

Hi loves! Yesterday I bought 2 amazingly GORGEOUS Ozotic polishes but today I am only showing you 1 (the next one is coming soon!) This colour, Ozotic - 621 is a deep rich red creme with such an intrinsic and complex mix of glowing red flecks and scattered holographic pigments. It is truly so amazing IRL, it reminds me of Dorothy's red shoes from the Wizard of Oz. . .but shinier! I used 3 coats as it was a little patchy, followed by 1 coat of Wicked Fast.

Do you own this colour? It's so pretty :) Thanks for reading!

Artsy Wednesday - Inspired by Independence Day

Hello hello hello! Today's Artsy Wednesday theme is inspired by Independence day. I am not from America so this day isn't celebrated here in Australia, but I still thought it was a cool theme, especially since the flag is very iconic with its three colours! I decided to use a technique called the Saran Nails, which utilises scrunched up plastic wrap to pick up colours applied over a dry base colour (here is a great tutorial by Katy @ Nailed It). The colours I used were; Nails Inc - Baker Street for the blue, OPI - The Thrill of Brazil for the red, OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the white, China Glaze - Techno for the glitter on the thumb, and lastly Jordana - Crystal Glitter over every nail except the thumb for subtle hints of glitter.

It wasn't too bad for my first try at the Saran nails and I definitely want to try it again! I hope you like :-)

Jordana Collection Review

Hey guys! Today I have for you some nail polishes from the brand Jordana. They originate from the US, but they have thankfully been brought to Australia and are available for purchase on their website (jordanacosmetics.com.au). I was given the opportunity to pick some colours and I chose some real stunners! Just so I don't repeat myself I will let you know that I used 1 coat of Calcium Boost Basecoat, followed by 2 coats of lacquer. The formula on Jordana polishes are really good! I was surprised how easily and smooth they went on, a bit sheer on 1 coat, but 2 coats easily fixed that up. The brush is a little thin, but picks up the polish easily and makes application smooth. Here are the colours I chose:

Green Glitz is a stunning grass green shimmer with a mixture of holographic bars and small glitters. I really like this colour and it suits olive skin tone really nicely!

Coral Spark is an amazinggg orangey-red coral with some seriously gorgeous shimmer in it. This, like Green Glitz, also has a mixture of holographic bar and glitters scattered through out. This is my favourite from the collection!

Purple Glam is really pretty. I am told that this is one of Jordana's biggest selling colours and I can see why! The base is a gorgeous deep magenta filled with purple shimmer, and this one also has a dense mixture of holographic bar and glitters...yes! Winner!

Blurred to show the amazing holographic micro glitter!

Crystal Glitter, shown here with OPI's - Black Onyx as the base, is a pixie dust looking polish, a sheer white base with a whole lot of holographic glitters! It is pretty much like a flakie! This is super gorgeous and definitely made my black nails pop! I love that the light catches all the different colours and you see an array of rainbow colours on your nails! Pure magic!
I also received some nail art stripers which I will be using very soon, so stay tuned!

What do you think of these colours? Which one is your favourite?

Ozotic - 515 HOLOGRAPHIC HEAVY

Happy Monday morning to you all! I know it means the beginning of another work week but I have a wonderful nail polish to show you, that may just make your morning :) I know this polish swatch is long over due, but better late than never! Ozotic 515 is such a beautiful ocean blue with seriously strong holographic pigments. This is the colour that i'm giving away in my giveaway (a new, unused one obviously) and it's going to make the owner very happy!

So i applied 3 coats to bare nails for full coverage. 2 was probably enough but i went for 3 coats just to make it an even coverage.

This colour is so much stronger in person and applied beautifully! Such a great colour. I love Ozotics

There is still time to enter my giveaway for a chance to win this colour!

Ozotic - 513 HOLOGRAPHIC HEAVY

Hello everyone how are you all? I am very good and today I have a real beauty to show you. . are you ready? :-P

Today's colour is Ozotic 513, a dark pink/purple with seriously amazing linear holographic particles in it! I've been meaning to try this colour for a while now and i'm seriously glad I did! One thing that really annoys me is how top coats dull holographic polishes. Does anyone know of a quick dry top coat that doesn't dull holographics?

Anyway these photos are posted without a top coat so i'll let you leave your opinion on this colour!

Look at these beauts! Sorry but there are a LOT of photos!

So what are your thoughts? Do you like this colour? What's your favourite holographic colour? :)

Look at that beauty! It's like a galaxy on my nails!!

A-England - Order of the Garter

I think I have found my new favourite blue nail polish!  This colour is unlike any colour I own (closest I have is DS Magic, kinda) but I love this! A deep dark blue with a lighter micro shimmer blue. I applied 2 coats of OotG and 1 coat of SV. This applies very nicely.

Yumm Yumm Yummmmmmmm! I love this colour! beautiful!
