Sparkly Pink Layering

Pin It

This was supposed to be the return of my Pink Wednesday posts!!! Oh well, better late than never, huh? Pink Friday is plenty of fun too.

Devotees may remember when I reviewed a BK matte pink polish for BPS, I told you I would be posting pics of the polished lashed with glitter... And here they are:

OPI I Lily Love You over BK Nail Polish matte #06 

I love all the iridescent glitter in ILLY! The Good Lord knows I can't pass up a square glitter, but those mylar flakes are a bitch! I always get one or two that stick up and top coat can never tame them!!! So polish makers PLEASE stop putting ridiculously thick and relatively large mylar flakes in pretty lacquers :)

There still wasn't quite enough glitz going on so I added a cheeky layer of Ozotic!

Mmmm, so shimmery and pink. I probably ought to have put the shimmer on first though, because the glitter got a little suffocated. Eh, comme si comme ca.


Did you sport pink nails this week? If so what?!!! I'm on a pink kick, myself.

Ozotic Beam 908 Swatches & Review

Pin It

This is the last of the polishes sent for review by Picture Polish :(
Talk about bittersweet!!!!


This was the polish I was most excited to try out so I saved it till last! This is another colourshifting flake shimmer top coat that is dominantly green and fuchsia.
I've layered it over OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees (because I couldn't locate Black Onyx - my only black creme), a dark charcoal that leans blue. SSITP is a really great softer black if you find blacks to be too harsh.

And NEWS: I got a lightbox for xmas so I took some photos in it of 908!

Beam 908 sparkles green, blue, gold, orange, fuchsia, pink and purple. From a distance you really just notice the pearly colour of the top coat and the green and fuchsia flecks but up close you can see the full colour shift that occurs. It's really obvious in the macro photo.

The formula is thickish and flows really nicely. If you want less coverage you may want to thin 908 and use very thin coats.I applied 1 thin coat for these swatches and SV.

I think I'll end up getting the rest of the Beam collection, they're just so fun to play with!!!! Imagine frankening with them!

If you are in NZ you can purchase Ozotic from Gracie Lou for $15.50/15mL bottle.

Ozotic Sugar 903 Swatches & Review

Pin It

Ozotic Sugar 903 is another of the polishes the kind ladies from Picture Polish sent for review.

903 can be worn alone or layered. It is an ice blue shimmer made up of micro colour-shifting flakes which shift from blue-purple-fuchsia.  Alone it is a bit sheer but looks just like it does in the bottle, very ethereal with flashes of pink in the light.

I swatched it over Essie Bobbing for Baubles (a greyed and muted navy), and the true colour shift became super obvious!

I love how 903 looks layered. This is just 1 thin coat (it's a seriously concentrated polish). The fuchsia and purple is way more obvious in the shade and so beautiful! The formula is pretty thick and glides on like butter.

The NZ Picture Polish reseller is Gracie Lou and she sells the Sugar range for $15.50, but they are on sale right now for $13.95. She has wee sales quite frequently too.

Ozotic Scatter Chrome 912 Swatch & Review

Pin It

Picture Polish kindly sent me some of their newest creations to review. I'll be posting them over the month of December.
Today I have 912, 1 of 4 polishes from the Scatter Chrome collection: (sorry about the quality of the photos, my camera hates chromes, they always look hazy).
NB - I'm holding Ozotic Beam 907 in the photos below.

 912 is a purple - gold duochrome with scattered holographic effect. The colour shift is really pretty (Mum approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*), from purple - fuchsia/pink - russet - green/gold. It's really hard to capture all the different colours you see in person, but you definitely get more than the dominant purple and gold.
 The holo shards looks killer in direct light, adding a rainbow of sparkle to the ever changing duochrome.

China Glaze No Plain Jane is a dupe, except for the scattered holo shards. The formula and pigmentation of Ozotic 912 is superior though. Two coats provide a good depth and coverage. The formula is on the thicker side and the brush is fairly wide and soft.

*Mum was a bit miffed looking when the courier man arrived (assuming I had bought even more!!!), but when I explained it had been sent for review and she laid her eyes on 912, she was genuinely excited!!!!! She tried it on immediately (soft spot for purples you see!)

Kiwis can buy 912 and other Ozotic and Picture Polish lacquers from NZ Reseller Gracie Lou for $15.50 each.

Here are a whole lot of other ways to keep up to date with piCture pOlish release and find a seller closest to you!

Ozotic Beam 906 Swatches & Review

Pin It

The fabulous Debbie from Gracie Lou sent me Ozotic 906 from the brand new Beam line, for review.

You may not have heard of Gracie Lou, but it is an NZ cosmetic e-tailer that carries a wide range of brands at costs well below retail. They are the official stockist of Picture Polish and Ozotic in NZ, with PP going for $13.50-15.50 and Ozotic for $15.50/bottle. I never thought I'd see these kind of prices here! Gone are the days of haemorrhaging money for these beauts via Llarowe!

I layered 906 over a light and dark base to give you an idea of its versatility. You may want to wear it alone, but that's not really my jam.

906 is a opalescent polish "jam-packed with pink & purple sparks!"  Over black it really comes to life, shifting from gold - orange- pink - purple - blue. Amazing! It's got a thick formula which equals intense coverage. This is just 1 coat!!! Next time I will probably thin it out or just apply a teeny tiny amount. 906 des have a kind of long dry time, but that's probably to do with the thickness.

Over a pale shade you get a pretty opalescent shimmer/sparkle. The pictures don't show it, but you still see the pink and purple sparkle in person. My camera just wouldn't pick it up!! Over Strawberry Icecream it makes the polish more blue.purple toned. Again, it looks amazing!

To get your hands on 906 and all the other Sugar and Beam Ozotics, visit Gracie Lou!!!!

It's like frosting for you nails :)
