Ozotic Nail Polish in 505

I wore Ozotic's 505 to Montreal last week, and I swear to you, every single person I spoke to asked me about my nail polish, from store clerks to waitresses to my guy friends. My friend, Edward, was like, "Dude, I can't even concentrate on what you're saying, 'cause your nail polish is insane." I swear he wasn't high at the time. 505 is a multichrome polish, so depending on the angle, it looks like a cerulean blue with deep violet edges, then teal with deep blue edges, then turquoise with brown-plum edges, then fuchsia-purple with indigo edges... And all throughout, there's shimmer that also changes with the angle! It's insanity! I am totally in love with this polish, and even though it requires about five coats to get it opaque (I actually cheated and used two coats of 505 on top of Julep's Marisa, and only used one finger to test the opacity of 505 alone), it's totally worth it. You can get your hands on Ozotic's nail polishes at Harlow & Co., who has free worldwide shipping with purchases of $50 or more.

Ozotic Nail Polish in 507

I had been trying to hunt down Ozotic nail polishes for a couple months before I finally found a site that would ship to Canada, called Harlow & Co. (it's a Canadian-based site, too, so it's free shipping for orders over $50!). Ozotic is an small independent Australian nail polish company, and their nail polishes are all "hand made and bottled in small batches by polish craftsmen." They are known for their unique multi-chrome and holographic nail polish shades. I picked up three, and decided to try 507 first. At first, it looks like a chartreuse green with darker olive green edges. As you move your fingers, it flashes yellow gold, antique gold, orange gold, spring green, olive green, cerulean-green, and cerulean blue. Oh, yes. It shifts a lot, and always with two to three colours visible. Simply put, it's a ridiculously cool colour effect.

The formula isn't fantastic; it goes on slightly streaky and unevenly, and because it's on the sheer side, you need about three medium-thick coats to get it opaque. The brush strokes are visible because of the nature of the finish, and it looks very much like brushed chrome. Regardless, I think the unique colour effect of this polish make it really worth working with. I thought it would be good dupe for Chanel Péridot, and it does look similar in some ways, but 507 is infinitely more multi-faceted and vibrant. If you're into these cool multi-chrome effects, Ozotic is aces.
