Ozotic Mish Mash #532 (pic heavy!)

Hey everyone! Hope you have all had a fantastic weekend! For my first post back I have swatches of one of the new Ozotic polishes I picked up last week from piCture pOlish.

Ozotic #532 is one of four new polishes in the "Mish Mash" range - aka, the most freakin awesome range of polishes ever! I honestly couldnt believe my eyes when I saw the bottle - it's like Ozotic Holographic #509 had a baby with Ozotic Multi Chromatic #505. Yes, you heard right - linear holo AND multichromatic!!!

Depending on the angle and lighting, #532 flashes either a bright turquoise or lilac and the holo effect is outstanding, even in low lighting. This was two coats over a coat of OPI Black Onyx. I had no issues with application - the polish was the perfect consistency and applied smoothly, without pooling or dragging.

I thought I'd try out #532 on its own as well and although it achieved opacity after three coats, I am inclined to say that this polish should be layered over an opaque base colour. I think it would also look great over a dark blue or purple base.

Being a holo addict, I am completely in awe of this polish! The photos just don't do it justice. I adore the combination of holo and multichromatic and for this reason, this is hands down the best holo in my collection now!

There's only one downside to this polish - it was not cheap!! This one set me back $14AUD which is a little steep. However, for such a unique creation, I'm willing to fork out the extra cash! Naturally, I couldnt resist and I bought the other three Mish Mash polishes in the range as well, so I will try and get swatches of those done asap!

What do you think of #532? 

NARS Pokerface

I'M BACKKKK! 

Hey everyone! I'm finally back to blogging after a very hectic couple of weeks! My sister's wedding was last Sunday and it was beautiful! I can't believe my little sister is a married woman now! She looked absolutely stunning, and despite some mega bridezilla moments on her behalf, the day went really smoothly! I don't have any photos yet, but as soon as I do, I'll put a couple up.... :)

I was so busy with wedding preparations and then spending time with family after the wedding that I barely changed my nail polish. I wore OPI's Dulce de Leche with a coat of Coney Island Cotton Candy for the wedding and kept that on until yesterday! The horror! :P

Today, however, I am wearing Pokerface which is one of the colours released with NARS' Holiday 2010 collection.

Pokerface is a medium lilac with silvery lilac shimmer. Application was a little difficult. I found it to be on the thicker side and so it went on a little gluggy, but a second coat and then one coat of Poshe seemed to smooth it out fairly well.

Pokerface isn't particularly unique, but the shimmer gives it a little special something. It's a really feminine lilac and I personally love the way it looks on me.

In other news, my Rescue Beauty Lounge Giveaway has now closed. I will be drawing the winner for that as well as my Lippmann Giveaway tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who entered! x

Models Own - Lilac Dream

I'm baaaaaack! :D Sorry for not posting over the past few days.. I have been flat out!

Anyway, as I promised, I sat down tonight to do swatches of all the Models Own colours I bought at their 50% off sale.... I put the first colour on, and started snapping away and then...... my battery died.... *cries* ..........and for some reason it wont charge!!!! So I only have pics of one of the colours tonight, Lilac Dream.

First thing tomorrow I'm going to the shops to get a new battery (or maybe a new camera!!! :P)...

Lilac Dream is exactly as the name describes it - a dreamy lilac cream that glides on effortlessly! I used two thin coats and a coat of Poshe.

(Note: This photo is not actually this pink.. I swear! But every time I add it to the page, Blogger makes it darker and redder! What the hell Blogger?!?!?!)

This last photo was without flash but I feel like it gives a more true indication of the colour of this polish.

I really love this colour and if it wasn't for the fact that I am dying to try the rest of the colours I got, I would probably be happy wearing this for days! 

Just a quick reminder that there is only a couple of days left to get your name down for my 50 Follower Giveaway! Thank you to everyone for all your encouragement and thank you to all my new followers! I really appreciate it and promise I will repay your generosity with giveaways well into the New Year! x

My first post!

Hey all! This is the beginning of my nail blog. I have been pretty obsessed with nail polish and the fabulous nail blogs that are on the net for the past few months, so I thought I would make my own now!! :D

For the moment I have some old, old images from months ago taken on my camera phone... Hopefully my pictures will be taken with a much better camera in the future... and not at my desk at work! :P

Hopefully before the weekend I will be receiving a package from Rescue Beauty Lounge, so I can do some swatches soon!
