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.

Color Shifting Top Coat Frankens

I bought a couple of pigments from More Nail Polish and TKB and I added them into some clear polish to make 5 awesome colour shifting top coats! The two pigments I got from More Nail Polish were finer and appeared to have a more shimmer finish while the ones from TKB had a glass flecked finish!

I bought the Red/Green and Blue/Green pigments from More Nail Polish and the Gold/Green, Purple/Gold and Blue/Purple pigments from TKB. Please click on the links above to find out more on the items!

Now, onto peektures! I've typed on the color shifts onto the pictures so it will be less confusing. All the swatches are one coat of the franken top coats on top of two coats of OPI Black Onyx.

Now for close ups and descriptions for each individual top coat:

Red/Green: This one actually morphs from red to gold to green! It's really pretty and if you've been lusting for Clarins 230, this is one pigment you want. All you need to do is make a purple jelly base and add in some of this pigment and BOOM, you have yourself a Clarins 230 franken dupe! And it'd only cost you a fraction of the cost!

Blue/Green: This one reminds me of Catch Me In Your Net / Yodel On My Cell! I'd like to see it in some other polish though!

Green/Gold: This was made from the pigment called Shanika Sun and it's been compared to Orly It's Cot Rocket Science.

Purple/Gold: This one was made from Miranda Star and it's comparable to Galaxy Girl although I personally find it looks closer to Space Cadet!

Blue/Purple: This last one was made from Cherika Moon and again it's comparable to another Orly polish, Lunar Eclipse. I, however feel like it's more similar to Galaxy Girl!

Pretty pretty pretty top coats right? I do think that I should have added less pigments into the clear polish because I intended them for layering and it's a little too dense for the base colour to shine through. The glass fleck top coats do remind me of some CND sparkle effects polishes too. If I'm not wrong, Raspberry Sparkle and Sapphire Sparkle do look similar to two of the frankens I've made so I don't feel the urge to buy them anymore. Yay to saving money! (:
