Ozotic 506 over a-england Camelot

I have for you today another of the stunning Ozotic Multichromes from the amazing Llarowe.

506 is a multichrome that shifts from blue to purple, with hints of green.  I didn't see much of the green shift, but the blue to purple shift is amazing, and there is a great blue and purple sparkle through this one too.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of Camelot, 2 of 506 and 1 of the Shield.








Thanks for looking <3

This Ozotic polish was sent to me for review.

Nails Inc Metallic Pastels

This was a set I got on QVC about a month ago, I was drawn to them right away as I love Metallic polishes and the idea of Pastel Metallics was great.

There are all very easy to apply and if you could probably get away with only one coat as they are very pigmented, but all the photos here were taken with 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

First we have Chesterfield Street, which is a metallic blue.




Next we have Lancashire Court which is a metallic copper, but looked quite pinky on me too.




Then we have Mount Row which is a metallic lilac.




Lastly we have Waverton Street which is a metallic gold.




I am happy with all these polishes and am so glad I got this set, the gold was the one I was a little unsure about, as I have a few other golds from Nails Inc already.  I would need to compare them and see how close they are but I don't think I have an exact duplicate.  I would have loved a mint green metallic in its place I think.

I, of course, love the blue, but I actually think the lilac is my favourite of the four.

Which is your favourite? xx
