Ozotic 915

I hope everyone had a good Christmas! It is super hot here at the moment so I am just trying not to over heat. We attempted some boxing day shopping today, but the crowds were insane, so we left empty handed and went back home to melt.

Ozotic 915 was my Christmas Day Manicure. It is a subtle green that didn't shout Christmas too loud.  915 is from the 2012 Scatter Chrome collection.

This is three coats. It does not actually have any glitter in it, but is a metallic chrome polish which has scattered holographic particles in it.  It is also slightly duochrome moving from green to a blueish teal in the shade (which you can see in the first picture).  I really like this polish and it was fun to look at all day yesterday in the sun.

You can buy 915 and the three other polishes in this collection from piCture pOlish in Australia or Gracie Lou in New Zealand, as well as a bunch of other online retailers listed on the piCture pOlish website.

This polish was sent to me for review

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

These are my nails from yesterday (Christmas Eve). A mixture of different stamps stamped using Konad Red and A England Saint George over Color Club Oooooo La La and covered in a layer of China Glaze fairy dust.

Deborah Lippmann Christmas in the City Gift set

Deborah Lippmann Christmas in the City 

Left to Right: Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, Let it Snow!, Run, Run Rudolph

I bought this set from Nordstrom in America when I was there in October. Luckily they had started releasing Christmas polishes when we were over there.

Deborah Lippmann Let it Snow! - natural light

This is a thin white frost. This was four coats in this picture.  It looks very see through in the sunlight.  I think it may have turned out better with a white creme basecoat.

Deborah Lippmann Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (over black) - sunshine

This is two coats over a black creme. It is green and red small and medium sized glitter in a black jelly base.  This has a coat of gelous over it as it looks kind of matte and not shinny without it.

Deborah Lippmann Run, Run Rudolph - sunshine

This is two coats over a red creme. It is a shimmer red with red/gold flakies.  This is quite a thin polish and the flakies are quite scattered in the polish so they are hard to capture on camera. 

Only one more sleep to go!

Candy Cane Nails

These candy cane nails are based on a tutorial and design from The Polishaholic, which you can find here.  This is three coats of Color Club Oooooo La La as the white base coat and OPI An Affair in Red Square as the red layered over the top.

I finished work on Friday for the next two weeks. I don't think I have had a Christmas break that long before.  And there is only 2 days left until Christmas! Fingers are crossed we will get a nice sunny day here in Wellington. Hope your all having a great holiday!

Color Club Blue Heaven

Color Club Blue Heaven - sunshine

Color Club Blue Heaven is the light blue holographic from the 2012 Halo Hues collection. This is two coats.   Look at how holo this is!

Unfortunately after a weekend of cleaning my nails are no longer this long. So swatching is on the back burner until they grow back a bit :(

Ruby Wing Festival

Festival is a new polish from the Ruby Wing polish line. I wore this yesterday to my work Christmas party.  Festival is a light multicoloured lilac glitter that in the sun changes into a dark deep multicoloured blue glitter.  Luckily it was a sunny day because the colour change in this is awesome to watch all day long.

Ruby Wing Festival - indoors

Ruby Wing Festival - outdoors

This was three coats. Coverage was good. I had no chips at the end of 24 hours with this on, using a coat of gelous and a coat of SV over top.  It is a glitter so was a pain to take off but it is so worth it to wear this pretty.  This polish is definitely in my top 10 for this year!

Lots of Love
