Ulta3 Hearts Desire paired with Ozotic 906

Hi everyone.

I put together a simple layered look using Ulta3 Hearts desire and Ozotic 906 a while back since I lacked inspiration for my nails. It looks pretty and I kind of regret not trying it with a matte top coat over it!

Thank you for stopping by.

Shopping the stash: O for Ozotic

Do you own any of the Ozotic Scatter Chromes? :)

An unexpected layering outcome ♥

Hello everyone :) The other night, I was in the mood for a more work appropriate look so I pulled out Color Club High society to wear. However, the crème was just a tad boring so I decided to layer another polish on top. Cue Ozotic 906... and the most beautiful work appropriate nails ever! ♥

Sorry for the wrinkled nail - I managed to snag it while it was still drying :( Still, it looked pretty awesome :D

Do you own any of these Ozotic polishes? What would you layer them over?

Thanks for reading.

Swatches and review: Ozotic 743

Hey everyone! Ozotic 743 is a pretty turquoise shade. In the bottle, I can see a small duochrome shift but on the nail, it is pretty much non-existent. I applied two coats in my photos below. I found visible brush strokes were hard to avoid but once a top coat was added, they almost disappeared.

Ozotic 743 can be purchased directly from Picture Polish and retails for $12. If you live outside of Australia, you may find resellers located in your country on the Network page.

Swatches and review: Ozotic Scatter Chrome 914

Hello ladies. I have a lovely blurple polish to share with you all today! Last year, Australian brand Ozotic released a Scatter Chrome collection, consisting of four duochrome nail polishes filled with holographic glitter particles. Ozotic 914 is the blue/purple duochrome of the collection, but unfortunately, the duochrome effect isn't too strong. It's still a gorgeous shade though and I have several photos to prove this ;)

I applied two coats of 914 for the photos below.

And in the sun!

For the following photos, I applied a black polish as a base colour on my pinky and middle fingers before layering two coats of 914 over it. As you can see, the duochrome shift is a little more apparent with the black base but it still isn't really easy to see.

Ozotic 914 can be purchased directly from Picture Polish and retails for $12. If you live outside of Australia, you may find resellers located in your country on the Network page.

What do you think of 914? Is it still worth owning despite the minimal duochrome effect? :)

Swatches and review: Ozotic Beam 906

Hello hello~ I have a pretty layering polish to share with you all today! Awhile back, Ozotic released a collection of layering nail polishes, split into the Sugar and Beam collections. Each consisted of four polishes chock full of duo/multichrome flecks. The nail polish I was fortunate enough to try out is Ozotic Beam 906. I layered one medium coat of it over black. And behold, the colours coming to life ♥

Ozotic 906 can be purchased directly from Picture Polish and retails for $12. If you live outside of Australia, you may find resellers located in your country on the Network page.

Isn't the colour shift in this one just amazing! Tell me, will you be running to purchase this gorgeous bottle now? ;)

Swatches and review: Ozotic Sugar 901

Hi ladies! I have a beautiful layering polish to share with you all today :) Ozotic 901 is part of the Sugar collection released a while back by Ozotic. The nail polishes in this line are all created to be layered over a base colour polish and add a pretty shimmery look to the final look. 901 is a pink based polish but I decided to layer it over a black polish to really show the shimmer flecks.

This is one thicker coat over black.

Soooooooo gorgeous, no? ^^ The shift in colour is just so apparent and pretty, you really can't say no to this beauty ♥

Ozotic 901 can be purchased directly from Picture Polish and retails for $12. If you live outside of Australia, you may find resellers located in your country on the Network page.

Swatches and review: Ozotic 624

Hi ladies! I recently wore Ozotic 624 and let me tell you, this one is an AMAZING holographic polish ♥ I applied two coats in the photos below and it flowed onto my nails. Application was such a breeze :) I really have nothing to fault with this grape purple holo, and oh, the holo effect! It is so strong and I found that wearing Ozotic 624 was a hazard for driving, I just kept wanting to admire my nails in the sun :P

Even when there is no direct light hitting it, 624 still looks amazing. Or maybe I'm just purple biased ;)

Ozotic 624 can be purchased directly from Picture Polish and retails for $12. If you live outside of Australia, you may find resellers located in your country on the Network page.

Do you love holo polishes? Hoard them? ;)

Green jewelled nails :)

Hello everyone! I've been in a real 3D nail art kick recently so these products from Born Pretty Store couldn't have arrived sooner! I started with two coats of OPI Thanks a windmillion on my pinky, middle and index fingers. I then layered on Ozotic 905 over my index and pinky fingers. For my middle finger, I took rhinestones, bullion beads and glequins to create the look. I didn't realise I had lost a bullion bead when I went to bed until I uploaded the photos, oopsie :P

For my ring finger and thumb, I have two coats of Ulta3 black satin, then applied glequins for a famed nail art look and necklace for the respective nails :)

I absolutely adore this look, all the 3D nail art styles are calling me at the moment! :D

For this manicure look, I used elliptic shaped rhinestones and glequins, as well as some bullion beads and rhinestones. In fact, all the 3D accessories are from Born Pretty Store...says something about the easy access of this online retailer! They also offer free shipping and with my 10% discount code PIJ61, you can't find a better and cheaper deal than this :)

What do you think, is the 3D look growing on you too? ;)

A stamped multichrome

Hello hello~ A short post today because I'm super tired. It was a late night last night - I stayed behind and played boardgames after the fireworks :D And now the hot Australian weather has rudely woken me up so I'm going to play catch up with some of my posts. I think you'll be seeing the last of my 2012 nail looks over the next few days :)

I layered two coats of Ozotic Sugar 902 over a black base and stamped with black and fauxnad m78.

Not my best stamping as I did it under terrible lighting conditions late at night and didn't notice the bad transfers until the next morning. Oops! When do you normally paint your nails?

Thanks for reading!

Bows and polka dots

Hi ladies! Boy have I got a girly mani to show you today :P I'm not the girliest of girls and when it comes to nail polish, it really shows. You know, the whole shying away from pink tips and all ;) I was actually in the mood for pink nails though and low and behold, a girly mani landed on my tips!

Pinky & index: Two coats of OPI My very first knockwurst layered with Ozotic Beam 905
Ring: Two coats of MVFK; polka dots were applied with a dotting tool and Australis Blackmail
Middle: Two coats of Hello Kitty Golden girl. The bow was painted with a nail art brush and MVFK mixed with Blackmail
Thumb: Two coats of Blackmail and dotted with Golden girl

I actually recently received a nail art brush and dotting tool kit by Bundle Monster and was super excited to try it out. The sleek pouch design to hold the tools was what really captured my attention - don't you just feel super professional with the kit? :D The plastic flap to protect the brush bristle was an added bonus.

There's such a variety of brushes to choose from, and the dotting tools are great too! I love that the ends of the tools are all different sizes - a great plus when comparing to my cheap ebay ones. I think I only found two ends which were the same dotting size.

The tools I used to create this manicure :)

Mmm, I just love how awesome Ozotic Beam 905 looks layered over these lighter shades. Much, much better than over black :D ♥

I had initially planned to wear this manicure to a French themed dinner party because I had a dress which matched MVFK. Then I changed dresses last minute and so did my nails...but that's for a later post ;)

What do you think, are these nails too girly for you? ;) Have you tried out the nail brush and dotting tool kit from Bundle Monster yet? Don't forget you can keep up to date with them on their facebook page too!

Thanks for reading.

Ozotic 905 meets Dirty Sexy Money

Hi everyone! Here is a simply layering - simple, but gorgeous, might I add ;) I applied two coats of Misa Dirty Sexy Money and then layered on a thin coat of Ozotic 905. I think I may actually prefer layering this polish over lighter shades; darker base colours just don't look as pretty! I guess the silvery shimmer doesn't stand out as much and the shifting shades of colour help make the crème polish look so much more interesting.

Hmmm, what colour should I layer 905 next? ;)

Thanks for reading!
