Ozotic Scatter Chromes 910, 912, 914 & 915

Ladies - hide your wallet, freeze your credit card and forget your paypal password, cause I have four of the brand new Ozotic Scatter Chromes to share with you today, and you are going to want to buy them :)

Ozotic 910 Scattered Chrome.  If you saw the bottle shots for these polishes, you probably recognized the colours and finishes. I instantly saw this polish as the Chanel Peridot/OPI Just Spotted the Lizard/China Glaze Rare & Radiant/Jessica Iridescent Eye etc etc dupe - but it has one HUGE difference.  These polishes contain the same large particle scattered holographic effect that is in the Ozotic 600 series and Picture Polish Kryptonite.

Two coats with top coats in full sun.

Under water, to bring out the full duochrome effect.

Ozotic 912 Scattered Chrome.  This one is the same colourings as China Glaze No Plain Jane (and a few others that I don't own) Its light duochrome shifts from purple to pink to coppery brown and again it has a very healthy serving of scattered holographic particles.

Ozotic 914 Scattered Chrome. This one is the same colourings as China Glaze Want my Bawdy.
There is a very subtle colour shift in this, just like in the China Glaze polish, it goes from vibrant royal blue to a cool toned purple.  Once again, plenty of holo particles to sparkle though.

Ozotic 915 Scattered Chrome. This one has the same colourings as China Glaze Unpredictable/Missha HGR001/Peripera Metallic Green and quite a few others. The subtle duochrome shifts from light green to light turquoise blue.  Plenty of scattered holographic goodness.

The formula on all these was good, quite thick but nicely workable.  The opacity was excellent too - far more opaque than the China Glaze polishes. If you were in a rush to get out the door you could get away with just one coat, but really two coats was perfect for all of these.

For those not familiar with the Ozotic 600 series polishes or the holographic Picture Polish shades, then you need to know that these holographic particles are not glitter.  They are ultra thin and irregular shaped.  They don't make the polish feel rough or bumpy and you don't actually need to wear a top coat, as they all dry very smooth and quite shiny. 

Generally I didn't find these polishes too brush strokey.  You can certainly see brush marks in some of these zoomed in macro photos in the sun, but in real life it was not something that I noticed at all. Again to compare to the China Glaze Bohemian polishes, these were not as brush strokey as those. They also dried very fast and the holo finish was not dulled by Seche Vite top coat.

Another thing I noticed is that this collect of four polishes is missing polish numbers 911 and 913.  I'm hoping this means there are two more colours in this effect to be released.  The two colors from the China Glaze Bohemian range that aren't represented in these Ozotic Scatter Chromes are Swanky Silk and Deviantly Daring - Oooohhh I really hope they make those to shades in a Scatter Chrome.

Overall, I think these Ozotic polishes do offer something new and different to the very competitive nail polish market and I like them quite a lot!

The new Ozotic 900 series polishes will be available from Picture Polish next week.  They are also available through all the Picture Polish Network members.

Ozotic 908

Yay - I did it. Eight blog posts in one night. 109 swatch photos uploaded to those eight posts from - wait for it - 463 photos I took of my nails wearing the new Ozotic Sugar and Beam polishes.  No wonder my brain feels fried.

To finish things off, here is Ozotic 908 Beam. 

This last shade in the collection has blend of pink and yellow micro glass flecks. The pink flecks shift to purple and gold and the yellow flecks shift green.  Therefore you will see combinations of pink and yellow and purple and green. 

This is one carefully applied coat of 908 over black. You know the deal now, if you want just one coat, don't use too much polish on the brush and don't wipe over your nail in the same spot too many times, otherwise it may pull some of the flakes off and leave it with streaks.  If you are planning on more than one coat, then there is no need for careful application, just slap it on, thin or thick and it will smooth out perfectly after two coats.

Here is two coats over black.  At two coats the overall feel is actually an antique platinum, so it's not silver and it's not gold.  I actually really love this one as two coats over black, it was a really flattering colour for me, kind of like a neutral coloured foil.




On its own it has a warm silvery feel, again probably a platinum colour cause it's not gold and it's not silver.  This is three coats on it's own.

This last photo taken under artificial light almost makes it look holographic, because each of the flakies is reflecting its own colour - just like a holo polish does.

Now that I have finished writing up about each of these shades, I think I have worked out the colour combinations of the glass flecks. Bear in mind this is just my interpretation of the shades and what I see on my nails, not an actual official description.

I think there are three colours of the beautiful micro glass flecks, and all of them are duochrome:
  • Blue which shifts to purple
  • Pink which shifts to orange/gold
  • Yellow which shifts to green
901 - has the pink flecks in a pink base
902 - has the blue flecks in a purple base
903 - has the blue flecks in a blue base
904 - has the yellow flecks in a yellow base
905 - has all three colours in a clear base
906 - has the pink and blue flecks in a clear base
907 - has the blue and yellow flecks in a clear base
908 - has the yellow and pink flecks in a clear base

Hopefully that list will help you decided which colours you like.  My personal favourites are the ones based on the yellow flecks, but then again I really love the blue to purple combos too, and the multicoloured one is pretty amazing.

The new Ozotic 900 series polishes cost $13AUD and are available from Picture Polish.  They are also available for $15.50 (or equivalent in their currencies) through all the Picture Polish Network members.

So there you go.  That's the new Ozotic 900 Sugar and Beam polishes.  Which ones are your favourites?
