Ozotic Pro Multichromes and Elytra Glitters Part 2

Ozotic 504 Twilight


Ozotic 529 Elytra


Today's manicure is layered Ozotic 504 Twilight over black, with Ozotic Elytra 529 layered over the thumb, middle finger, and pinky.
Ozotic 504/Twilight (and Ozotic 529 - it's tonal equivalent in glitter form) is a mulitchrome shimmer that flashes:
BLURPLE

PURPLE

RED/MAGENTA

RUST/BRONZEY ORANGE

MULTI SHOT

This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of Illamasqua Boosh (black creme), one coat of 504, one coat of 529 on every other finger, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.
These pictures were all taken outdoors in full sun (I think multichromes are too difficult to capture in artificial lighting).
Please forgive the tipwear and cuticles; I didn't have a chance to take pics for the first two days of wear...

Hard Candy Groove





Today's manicure is Hard Candy Groove. My mother-in-law looked at this bottle twice and said "it looks like different colors...I didn't know nail polish could do that." Yup, I'm spreading the nail polish gospel. Nail polish can do just about anything, aesthetically anyways.

Hard Candy Groove is a trichrome polish that flashes purple, bronze, and (to a lesser extent) green. It looks awesome in the bottle and doesn't disappoint on the nail.
Indoors it shows purple with green around the edges. The only downside, this polish is sheer. I swatched it first, and upon discovering how many coats it would take to achieve opacity, I decided to layer it over black. Layering over black, white, or a tonally compatible
This mani is one coat Nubar Nu Nails, one coat Illamasqua Boosh (black creme), two coats HC Groove, and one coat Nubar Diamont.
