Different Ways To Wear Multichrome Polish

Hey y'all! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I tried out the dry brush method the other day with my oil spill nails and that inspired me to come up with a post on some different ways to wear multichrome polish, besides the usual few coats over black.

In this post, I used Ozotic 502, 504 and 505, as well as Girly Bits Cosmetics Hiss & Lear over black and these are just a few more creative ways to wear multichromes. I took some shots underwater too, to bring out the full effect of the colour shifts so as a general guideline, the pictures with black backgrounds are shots taken on dry land and the pictures with the white backgrounds were taken underwater. 

Here's a shot with the four designs I decided to recreate - the braid, the tribal, the dry brush and the fan brush. I've included links to the various tutorials I referred to so you guys can join in the fun too!

I took so pictures designs from different angles so that you can see the colour shifts. Here, they're all on the warm side and as we go down, the colours will shift towards a cooler spectrum.

Here are some underwater shots. Gosh, I just love how water brings out so much more of the chrome shifts!

Now for some close up shots. This first one is the braid. It's relatively simple to do but here's a good tutorial I found. 

This next one is the tribal. I had higher expectations for this design but it seems the chromes do not really shift as much. It did look pretty rad still. Here's a link to the tribal tutorial I used.  

Here's the dry brush. This one is similar to the oil spill look and my suggestion is to leave sufficient black space in the background so you can still see the different polish used. You can experiment with longer/shorter brush strokes depending on your nail length. 

This last one is the fan brush. SimpleNailArtDesigns has a really good video tutorial that you can watch and this was a really simple and fun look. It reminds me of dragons beard, a type of candy we get here in Singapore! 

I also tried out the same technique with a vertical pattern instead of a horizontal one and the colour shift is more evident though I still think the horizontal pattern looks nicer. 

So there you go - four new ways to wear your multichromes. They're super simple to do and they're such a great way to spice up your manicure! Drop me a comment if you have any other ideas/suggestions on more ways to play with multichromes! Till next time! (:

Multichrome Oil Spill Nails

Hey y'all! I came across this amazing oil spill nails post by Nail Loopy a while back using some ILNP multichrome polish and I could not get it out of my head so I decided to try and recreate the look with some of the multichromes I have.

I used Ozotic 502 and 504, as well as Girly Bits Hiss & Lear for this look. I first painted a black base and when that was completely dry, I used the dry brush method and painted the various multichromes using random strokes. These pictures were taken underwater to bring out the oil spill effect even better! 

I love that this look was soooo beyond easy to recreate and the effect was just...WOW. Seriously, you guys got to try this out! :)

Girly Bits Hiss & Lear

Hiss & Lear is the latest multi-chrome polish from Girly Bits which shifts from lime green to deep moss, to purple & fuchsia to gold. I was so excited to cart it out and swatch it! I didn't managed to catch the fuchsia and gold bits but the lime green to cyan to purple shift was stunning enough for me!

Jaw-dropping!

This is 2 coats of Hiss & Lear over a black base.

Ozotic 902

Hey polish lovers! Today I'm interupting Holo Month you show you a very special polish, Ozotic 902 from the new Ozotic Sugar range! The range is inspired by adding a tiny drop of colouring to icing sugar, hence the sugary and frosty look!

902 appears purple with just a little more! This is 4 thin coats on its own.







You can see there's a duochrome finish to it. On its own, it shifts from a overcast grey to purple, with pretty blue flecks shinning through.

You can also layer 902 over white, to get a pretty, pale lavender look. This is two coats of 902 over white.







Layering it over white makes me think of fairy wings! It just looks so precious!

One last look you've got to check out (and try!) is how 902 looks over a black base. This is one coat of 902 over black.



Isn't 902 just GORGEOUS over black? The blue flecks stand out so much more!



And here you can see the prominent blue to purple shift.





At extreme angles, you can even catch a little hint of amber in the colour shift!



It's a magical transformation that you need to see to believe!

I couldn't resist some macro shots! I mean, just look at the colour shift!!! As usual, Ozotic's duochromes/multichromes never disappoint!





Here's a shot taken indoors, under no direct lighting, not near any windows, just a random spot in my room. It only goes to show the polish shines even when it's not under strong lighting!



The moment I painted 902 over black, I knew it looks familiar and I dug out two of my frankens made from adding TKB pigments into clear polish.







As you can see, my two frankens are pretty similar to 902 but they aren't dupes at all! TKB Cherika Moon has more teal and less purple to it and TKB Lavender Luz has more of a finer, shimmery appearance, compared to the glass fleck appearance of Ozotic 902.

I also needed two coats of my franken over black vs the one coat of 902 I used over black, so you know how densely packed 902 is with those magical glass flecks!





Here's one last shot of the three polishes, again taken in the same random spot with no direct lighting. Boy, the colour shift really looks so pretty!



The formula of 902 was amazing and it was really easy to get an even coat of polish when painted on its own or over black. When painted over white, it was a tiny bit harder to get an even coat but it wasn't impossible. You just have to get the right amount of polish on the brush.

The dry time was also good and they were dry to the touch in under ten minutes. That's pretty awesome considering I had a minimum of 3 coats of polish on my nails.

--------------
There are three other shades to the Sugar range and another four shades to the Beam range (that were inspired by reflecting luminous light beams), both of which were just launched on the piCture pOlish facebook page a couple of days ago. Morenailpolish has amazing swatches of all eight of the new shades so go check them out as well!

Both the Sugar and Beam ranges are now available on piCture pOlish and Star Trinkets.

Ozotic 502, 530 and 531

Today, we have the last of the three part Ozotic same-colour-shift-but-different-effects series, featuring Ozotic 502, 530 and 531.
These three shift from gold to orange and pink spectrum and mainly flash orange and pinkish copper indoors. I really love the pinkish copper the best out of the entire colour shift. I honestly didn't think I'd like these three as much as I do!
This is one coat of 502 and 530 and two coats of 531 over black in all the pictures.








Taking a picture with the flash on seems to bring out the much cooler pink tones in the polish.
