Pam's Girly Bits Shift Happens

This mani is Girly Bits Shift Happens over Essie No More Film.
This manicure features a polish from another indie polish designer. Pam's Girly Bits can be purchased from her blog here:
pamsgirlybits.blogspot.com (keep in mind she's based in Canada) or from Llarowe (in the US).
Shift Happens is a clear base chock full of color shifting pigment that shifts from red to orange to yellow to green to teal. I haven't been able to spot blue or purple outside of the bottle yet. This polish is a beautiful attempt to dupe the famous Clarins 230 aka Unicorn Pee.
No More Film is a very saturated and dark blue toned purple creme from the new collection Sure Shot. The bottle pic above is not color accurate on this. It's not so blue or so bright...
This manicure is one coat of SpaRitual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat of CND Stickey bc, one coat of No More Film, one coat of Shift Happens, and one coat of Seche Vite.

Ozotic Mish Mash 531

Happy 2012 Everyone!
I took a little time off blogging for the holidays, but I was still painting my nails.
On NYE I did this Ozotic 531 manicure, but I didn't get to photograph it until today. Sorry for the bit of tipwear.
I (usually) know better than to not layer Ozotic over black, since the formula is thin and runny and generally not very opaque, it's tough to make it look good. I feel like this particular polish is a little more opaque than some other ozotics I've used, so luckily I only needed three coats. I still managed to dent my pointer fingernail. 531 is a multichrome that shifts pinkish red, orange, yellow, and a bit green. It is also loaded with holographic particles. It is really cool. I bought it from Overall Beauty, but you can also get these from Picture Polish and llarowe.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, three coats of 531, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.

I swear it shifts teal/blue too, but I've only seen it in the car...
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 503, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.
These pictures were all taken outdoors in full sun (except where indicated).
Please forgive the tipwear and cuticles; I didn't have a chance to take pics for the first two days of wear...

Please forgive the tipwear and cuticles; I didn't have a chance to take pics for the first two days of wear...

Ozotic Pro Multichromes and Elytra Glitters

Ozotic 520(Molten) and 530(Elytra)



This mani is one coat of Illamasqua Boosh, one coat of Ozotic Pro 520 and one coat of Ozotic Pro 530 over the thumb, middle finger nail, and pinky. These Ozotic multichrome polishes are amazingly multidimensional, but also quite sheer. The elytras have fine/sparse glitter as well. I'm not sure they are worth building up on their own given their price. I swatched three coats of each polish on my swatch wheel and immediately decided to layer over black when I did a mani. Tonally, Ozotic 520 and 530 are quite similar and complement each other well. They flash:
RED

RORANGE

GOLDEN ORANGE


Ozotic 505(Eclipse) and 528(Elytra)



This mani is one coat of Illamasqua Boosh, one coat of Ozotic Pro 505 and one coat of Ozotic Pro 528 over the thumb, middle finger nail, and pinky. Tonally, Ozotic 505 and 528 are quite similar and complement each other well. They flash:
TEAL GREEN
