I'M IN LOVE!

In love with my latest polish purchase that is!!

I cannot tell you how long I've been lemming after 

these polishes, but I can say, it's been a longgggg time!

Ozotic is an Australian polish brand with 

some of the most stunning duo-chrome & multi-chrome polishes 

I've come across in a while. 

They aren't named, but rather they are numbered.

505 is a delicious green based teal multi-chrome that flashes 

to a gorgeous teal, blue, violet and purple. 

507 is a rich golden olive that flashes to green and blue/green. 

This polishis said to be quite similar to 

Chanel's Peridot polish, 

and while I don't own Peridot to compare if it is a dupe,

from the photos I've seen I can see a strong resemblance.

528 is from the Elytra collection and is a 

multi-chromatic glitter polish in a clear

jelly base, flashing blue, teal, violet and purple.

Here is 507 on my nails

Here are swatches of 505 & 528

The formula is superb on these, smooth a butter.

The only negative is their limited availability and their price,

which can vary from anywhere of $14 -$20 per bottle,

depending on where you purchase.

 Picture Polish carries the full line of Ozotic polishes,

for $12-$14 each

but they don't ship to the U.S. or Canada

llarowe also carries Ozotic polishes, as well as

several other more difficult to find brands.

Ozotic are $17.50 each

And they ship WORLDWIDE

suem427, from E-bay is a authorized U.S. seller

for Ozotic polishes, for $19 each

The bottom line is, where ever you can get your

hands on these incredible polishes, they are

completely worth your hard earned money. 

Every time I look at my nails, I swear I can hear
Carrie Bradshaw clearly in my head saying,
Hello Lover!

YouTube Collaboration

As much as I love YouTube,

let's face it, there are some negative aspects for

anyone who regularly uploads videos.

"You talk too much"

"You sound so stupid"

"Your sloppy"

 

"You stole my design!"

"You suck" 

" Wow your makeup is bad"

"Your design looks just like "so-in-so's" design, you copied from her!"

...and the list could go on for hours.

So much negativity from people that probably never uploaded 

a video in their life.No one takes the time to 

appreciate all the time and effort that person has made

to make that video, for no other reason other than

its just something they have a passion for.

Ah, but I digress.

Robin Moses and ProfessionalDQ decided to

embrace the positive, by taking a stand together,

and celebrate the amazing and diverse talent in the

art community on YouTube by doing a massive Holiday collaboration.

Anyone in the YT art community, whether you are a painter,

or do makeup or nail videos, to all join together and support

each other in a positive way by making a

"Let It Snow" themed video, share it on YT, and then 

attach it to any other " Let It Snow" collab video.

Such an amazing idea, especially at this time of year,

when we have one too many Grinch's on our hands.

Anyway, here is my design from the

Let It Snow collaboration.

Today, December 5th,

anyone who would like to participate in

this massive collaboration of

friendship and comradery,

just has to create a design, upload a video for it,

and attach it to any other "Let It Snow" collaboration video

or simply show your support to

Robin, ProfessionalDQ, myself, and the countless others

in this amazing collab, by watching the videos, giving a

"thumbs up" and a positive comment

Happy Holidays!

Weekend Mani

This is my Thanksgiving, into Black Friday, into weekend mani, 

because let's face it, 

with the crazy shopping deals so many stores have out there this weekend, 

there is no time for switching mani's!

 It's a good thing I really like this color combination, 

since I'm going to be staring at it for a few days :D

Beauty UK in # 76 Jade

L.A.Girls Glitter Addict in Flash layered on top

From my family to yours, 

wishing everyone a very Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving!

Pokemon Nails!

I can't tell you how many times I've been asked

to do a tutorial for Pokemon nails....

complete Pokemon fanatic.

and I'm not even a fan lol

Glittery Peacock

Here's a design from all things, 

a Christmas ornament. 

I found these peacock ornaments in Walmart

the other week and I absolutely fell in love with them!!

The moment I grabbed them, I just knew I had to

make it into a nail design

PRODUCTS USED:

Pro Nail Systems Base Coat

Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in - Going Green

L.A.Girls Glitter Addict in - Purge

Model's Own in - Purple Haze 

Milani in - Blue Lightening

So Easy Stripe Rite in - Metallic Gold

Blue Teardrop Rhinestones

On a side note,

as time goes by, 

I am having more and more difficulty

struggling to make a decent design

with my carpal tunnel syndrome.

I refuse to give up my love for nail art. 

Surgery is not an option for me at this time.

I already have braces, but they only do so much. 

If anyone else is struggling with 

similar issues and you have an ointment or technique that 

works for you, please share it with me as I'm 

becoming increasingly frustrated with my mangled hands!

Kleancolor - Chunky Black Holo

 A Grey tinted jelly with multi-sized hex holo glitters

that reflect from 

Red - Orange - Yellow - Green

A single layer over a basic black cream 

and you've got magic on your nails!

My only gripe about this polish is that

for whatever reason, Kleancolor's

jelly's take AGES to dry.

The trick is to use extremely thin coats and

wait at least 30 minutes between coats.

I know, ridiculous, right?

For some shades I wouldn't bother, but this one

it's worth the slow process.

YUMMY!
