Chemistry 517



Today I'm showing you Chemistry 517.  Recently piCture pOlish got 517 in stock in the Ozotic range, but as I had this version, I didn't need the other.  This is supposedly the green holo, but it is such a pastel green that it is almost a silver holo.  I have previously posted about Artform 517 too, which again is another dupe - although no longer name under that name.  I believe Glitter Gal Holographic Green is a dupe too.



While the green in this is a little disappointing, the holo certainly isn't.  It's super holoy goodness at it's best this one! It's very sheer too, so you could use this as a holo top coat over other polishes.




















Indoors below you can see that even with three coats there was still VNL.






I gave my nails a file down this morning. The left hand that is, the
right hand is still nubbin city.  I finally feel like I have found the right length for my nails.  It's funny, I look back at some of my
earlier blog posts and look at the length of my nails and think they are
ridiculously long.  So now my nails are a mm or two shorter than they
are in these pics.

Chemistry 519


Back when I placed my one and only Chemistry order (after Stef first showed us Chemistry 507), I ordered Chemistry 519.  This was another polish that I ordered totally sight unseen. I just picked the number cause I knew I didn't have it and hoped for the best.  I was rather surprised then it arrived, because it appeared to be an exact dupe of 507!





These photos are taken on day two, and there is a bit of tip wear, but generally these Chemistry polishes (like Ozoitc) wear really well and they certainly don't chip.







In a effort to make this look different from Chemistry 507, I just applied this on it's own, without the usual black base.  This is three coats with one Seche Vite top coat.  I actually really love it on it's own.






I've given this polish to my Mum, and she has done some beautiful layering with it. I'm totally going to steal her ideas and post my mani pics here. Thanks again Mum.






Hey girls with a few chemistry polishes (I'm looking at you Claire, Stef and Kristy) do any of you own both 507 and 519?  Do yours look identical too, or did I just get a bottle that was incorrectly labeled with the wrong number sticker?

Chemistry 525


Have you ever bought a polish totally sight unseen?  I did with this polish.  I purely bought it cause it's number was in the 500 series, which meant it should be another linear holographic in the whole Ozotic/Chemistry range.  I had no idea what colour it was, I just picked the number and went with it.  Actually I did this with a few of my Chemistry polishes because the colour chart was terrible.





Chemistry 525 is a very pale frosty pink with some holographic particles.  Eeeeewwwh, I hear some of you say, I hate frosty polishes, there so 1980's.  You know what?  I actually don't hate this like I thought I would when I saw the bottle.  It's so pale, it's almost white and it has a nice pearlesent appearance, particularly indoors.









Here I managed to capture the very sparse holo particles.  See they are there!






What this polish looks like most of the time.






Sure, this polish is a bit of a let down, especially when compared to the other holographics, but it's still nice, and I think it's much nicer that 527 which I will show you very soon.

Chemistry 512


I have my first Chemistry polish for you today.  Just in case you didn't already know, Chemistry polishes are exact dupes of Ozotic Pro polishes, but generally around $4 a bottle cheaper.





This is 512, a light blue fine particle linear holo.  It is quite sheer and this was three coats.  It's a much more subtle colour than the darker blue 515 that I showed yesterday.  I have previously swatched Artform 512, which is another dupe.  Check out the old post to see a comparison pic of this next to Nfu Oh 65.















This next photo was taken indoors, with no artificial light and only diffused light coming in the window.  It looks a tad green in this picture, although in real life it's not green at all.









Finally, did anyone notice that I have added a picture link in the top left of the page to my new Ozotic Colour Guide.  I'll be updating the page as I post new swatches of Chemisty/Ozotic polishes.
