Ozotic 526


Hello black linear holo!!  Today I have a swatch of Ozotic 526, but I also just got the new black scattered holo version, Ozotic 623.  After I swatch 623, I'll do a comparison swatch of the two black ozotics, my Glitter Gal black and my black spectraflair franken.  So please stay tuned for that. 





Now on to Ozotic 526.  This is your classic black with fine holographic particles.  I'm looking forward to doing my comparison swatch and particularly comparing this with Glitter Gal black.  I remember being underwhelmed by Glitter Gal black when I first put it on my nail because the holo effect was really poor.  Because of the dupy nature of a number of the Ozotic and Glitter Gal colours, I wasn't expecting much from this.  But I was so extremely happy to see a decent amount of linear holo on the nail.









I don't own the original MPJ (I have the brown version, which I actually quite like), but I think this would be a great substitute for anyone lemming original MPJ. 









Even with the indoor shot below, you can still see the holo particles, their not rainbowy, but they are there.










This actually looks amazing in the bottle, and when on the nail you don't quite get as much holo, but it is still pretty good.  This is very opaque, you could almost get away with one coat.  But I feel a bit naked with only one coat, so I did two.  In fact it is pretty amazing that a polish this opaque can still be this holo, usually you need a rather sheer jellyish polish to get a good holo effect.  I'm very tempted to use this as the black base when I need one for layering, such as under the ozotic multichromes.

Ozotic 607


Today's polish is Ozotic 607.  My bottle is the older shaped version, but you can get a new version of this from piCture pOlish.  As you can see, 607 is a pink large particle scattered holo. 





This one is actually quite well pigmented, which is great for quick coverage on the nail, but it also means that the opacity of the polish takes some of the holoness away.  Don't get me wrong, this is still really holo-ie, just not as holo-ie as say 604.



















I'm up in Brisbane right now and today I found such a great display of OPI's at Price Attack in Chermside Westfield.  I've never seen OPI at a Price Attack, only seen them in DJs.  They had lots of older and new collections, Pirates of the Caribbean, Katy Perry, Serena Williams, Nice Stems, Shrek, Swiss, Texas, various shatter colours and a large range of current DS polishes.  They were $14.95 each ($20 for the DS) which is $5 cheaper than the DJs price.  I didn't buy anything though!





DJs here also had lots of bottles of Chanel Peridot and Graphite.  They're not stocking them in Canberra (the backwards place that it is) so it was nice to see them on display.





And in case you were wondering, I have my mum at our house feeding the cats and collecting the mail. She knows to tell me immediately if the colour changing powders or spectraflair turns up. Hi Mum!

Chemistry 514


Chemistry 514 would have to be one of my very favourite holographic polishes.  It's a very cool toned platinum gold fine particle linear holo.  It's almost silver, but there is enough yellow tones in it to be able to see the difference.









Unfortunately I haven't seen an Ozotic version of this yet, which is a shame, cause that makes it near impossible for people overseas to get it.  Not that Essential Distribution have this in stock at the moment either, an email from them on Friday said they only had in 512 stock right now.









This one did take a bit longer to dry than the other holos, so it's lucky that the holo effect isn't dulled by a fast dry top coat.  The holo effect in this doesn't look quite as in your face as some of the other Chemistry/Ozotic holos, but it is still amazing.















Oooh, ooooh , ooohh, I just noticed I have 1000 followers today.  That's really cool.  Thank you so much everyone for coming by and following my blog.  I do have three piCture pOlish shades to give away, so I'm planning on combining the giveaway for 1000 followers with a giveaway that will show case of all my followers (soon to be created) frankenpolishes made with either spectraflair or the colour morphing powders.  So once the powders arrive, and have been shipped, I'll give you a few weeks to create something and will then hold a giveaway. Please stay tuned for that!

Ozotic 513


I have a real popular one today.  This is Ozotic 513, the rich purple fine particle linear holo.  This is a red toned purple with a massive amount of holo sparkle to it.







This was three coats, no base or top coat.  As you can see these fine particle holos dry to a super glossy finish, and also still show a subtle holo effect indoors.





















Lazy arse post tonight, sorry.  My mind is blank as far as anything interesting to write.  I'm flying up to Brisbane tomorrow morning for a few quick day's with the in-laws so my head isn't in the blogosphere at the moment.  It's too busy running though last minute things I have to do, like making sure I take the compost outside so I don't return home to a stinky house!





Brissy gals, any favourite polish haunts that I should be checking out while I'm there?  Do you know of any stores that stock Chemistry or B-Range (in Brissy or Gold Coast) that I could pick over?
