Smitten Polish - Confection

I have another Smitten Polish for you today.  This is Confection, which has different sized and shaped glitter in blue, green, pink, purple and yellow - although my bottle definitely has a predominant blue feel to it.  The glitters are suspended in a milky white base and I'm showing three coats on its own in these photos.

For a white polish this applied really well and I had no issues at all with application.  It also dried relatively smoothly and I only put on one coat of Seche Vite quick dry to finish it off.

It's amazing how two polishes that are basically milk white bases with multi-coloured glitter can look completely different.  The other polish I'm talking about is Gloss n Sparkles Unicorn Droppings.   I never thought I would need two milky whites with glitters, but the two polishes are so different and I love them both.

Smitten Polishes are available on her Etsy site, and will soon be available from Llarowe.

This polish was sent to me for review.

Ozotic reswatch spam - 621, 623 & 624

Today I have some reswatch spam of undoubtedly three of the most spectacular polishes from the Ozotic 600 series.

621 -  rich yellow leaning red large particle scattered holo.  This is my go to shade for Christmas nails.  And let me tell you now, I'm going to be partnering this with Kryptonite for some festive cheer later this year! They are a match made in heaven!

623 - Black large particle scattered holo.  Last time I swatched this I directed quite a bit of hate at it. I was disappointed with it, in fact I made it look terrible. This time around I absolutely loved it.  It is sparkly and glowy.  Maybe the formula in the square bottles has been tweaked compared to my older round bottle version.  Whatever the reason, I apologize to this polish and take back all my previous hate. I now love you 623.

624 - bright and regal purple large particle scattered holo. This one is a well deserved popular polish.  I can't wait to get Picture Polish Attitude from their Collaboration Collection to compare it to this given they are both purple polishes with the same holo particles. While they are both purple, I think Attitude will be darker and blue.  Stay tuned for that.

Have you guys seen the sneak peak of the new Ozotic 900 polish on the Picture Polish Facebook page?  Sugar, Beam and Reflection are the other hints they gave us about the new collection.  I'm super excited to see them. How about you?

Glass 'n Sparkle - Continga and Mirage

Here are two manis I wore this week featuring polishes from Aussie indie brand Gloss 'n Sparkle.

Continga has blue, aqua, teal, turquoise, lavender, purple and silver hexes and shredded glitter in a clear base.  The swatch on the Gloss 'n Sparkle etsy site has this over black, and it looks gorgeous, but I really like matchy-matchy glitters, so I decided to put mine over China Glaze Deviantly Daring. I also thought I would mix it up a bit and only apply the glitter to the bottom and tips on two feature nails.

This is one coat of Deviantly Daring and two coats of Continga, topped with Ulta3 non-chip and Seche Vite. The glitters were more sparse in this polish and it says it is specifically a top coat, rather than a polish you would build up to wear as an opaque glitter.  The glitters were well behaved and completely flat. I really liked this polish with the combo of teal blues with the purples.

Mirage is described as soft cool baby blue base with a pink/light gold shifting glass fleck look, a sprinkling of fine silver glitter and some large silver holographic glitters.

I tried my damnedest to capture the large holo hexes, but only got one showing in the bottle.  This is three coats of Mirage with a coat of Seche Vite.  This also applied easily and the glitters lay flat.

These are available from Gloss 'n Sparkle Etsy store. She really has a huge range of polishes available and her etsy swatches are excellent.

These polishes were sent to me for review.
