Pat McGrath has recently launched new additions to her Mothership palettes, namely the Divine Rose (original version aka Mothership VII) and the Divine Rose 2 (aka Mothership VIII).

When the Divine Rose launched last year I really wanted to get it but it was sold out quite quickly. Then with the launch of the Divine Rose 2, you could buy a set with the 2 palettes. I obviously didn't hesitate much and got the set :D

I have 2 special polishes to show you today. It's a combo I wore a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it ;D

I would never have thought that one day I would own Clarins 230 but I was super lucky to get it from the lovely Katherine (Manicure Addict) in one of her giveaway! Thank you so much, dear <3

And concerning Chanel Malice, I've been wanting it since I first saw it but took too much time before buying it and when I decided it was time to get it, it was already sold out here...But Sui Ling from Lovely Little Things was so nice! There were still some left in her mall and picked one for me! How sweet <3 thanks!

 

 

 

A place of honor for Yves Saint Laurent Première Neige top coat from Northern Lights Holiday 2012 collection today on my blog!

 

 

 

Today I'll show you my base polish for my next manicure!
This is a black duochrome polish from the Face Shop. I bought it during my shopping trip in Seoul last August.

I've an Ozotic comparison to show you today: 502 vs 520.

To see my full post for Ozotic 502, click here and for Ozotic 520, here.

I wanted to do this comparison because when I wanted to buy some Ozotic, I couldn't really tell the difference between those 2 according to the pictures I saw on the internet. So I hope this post will be useful for some of you :D

Final verdict: When they are side by side, they look completely different! 520 is warmer than 502. 

520 shifts from rusty burgundy to red, to amber, to gold, and to orange while 502 shifts from  gold to orange, to a light red with a touch of pink in it. On these pictures, I used 2 coats of 520 and 3 coats of 502 to reach full opacity. I didn't use a black or dark base coat. Of course, you can do it to save polish and to get a slightly different effect. 

Ozotic polishes can be purchased from Llarowe. This is the US stockist for Glitter Gal, Ozotic, Picture Polish, A-England, Hits, Ludurana, and Lynnderella polishes, awesome nail polishes brands. They sell internationally (except Italy) and have an awesome customer service. You can visit Llarowe on Facebook. Ozotic polishes are $17,50 for 15 mL

You can also purchase Ozotic polishes from Harlow&Co, the Canadian stockist for Glitter Gal, Nubar, Models Own, Nerd Lacquer, Ozotic, and Scotch Naturals! They also ship worldwide! Finally you can also buy them directly from Picture Polish online shop. Stephanie from Packer Lacquer is also an US stockist for Picture Polish and Ozotics polishes. 

507 is described as a multichrome polish that shifts from golden yellow to khaki green with a metallic shimmer.

Final verdict: I love the colors in this polish! It shifts from a golden yellow to a light yellow green, olive, and, at extrem angles, to a deep forest green The multichrome effects is well present, you do not have to search for it. Here I applied 3 coats to reach full opacity (so I didn't use a black base). I really love this polish but I was really disappointed with its application. The formula is too airy and this creates a lot of bubbles! You really have to be careful and wait between the different coats to avoid this problem. Maybe it would be easier to layer 1 thin coat of 507 over a black base. That's what I will do next time I'll use it because otherwise it's too troublesome.

Today it's the ultimate comparison between Ozotic 504, 505, 506 and Ludurana Emocionante, Show, and Reluz.

If you missed my previous post comparing Ozotic 504, 505, and 506, click here and for the comparison between Ludurana Emocionante, Show, and Reluz, click here.

On the index is Emocionante, middle finger and pinkie Show, and ring finger Reluz. 2 coats of the different Ozotic are painted over bare nails. On each picture, the bottle I'm holding Reluz.

Here is the 1st post of my "comparison series". You may have noticed Ozotic 504, 505, 506, and Ludurana Emocionante, Show, and Reluz share some similarities. So I'll compare all of them. I'll start with a pure Ozotic comparison (504 vs 505 vs 506), in the following post a pure Ludurana comparison (Emocionante vs Show vs Reluz) and finally I'll show you the ultimate Ozotic vs Ludurana comparison!lol

So let's start with the Ozotic comparison!

If you want to see my full post of

On the index is Ozotic 504, middle finger and pinkie 505, and ring finger 506. 2 coats of the different Ozotic are layered over A-England Lancelot (you can see my post about Lancelot here). On each picture, the bottle I'm holding is Ozotic 505.

As you can see on this 1st picture, they are all multichrome. For exampe, 504 displays royal blue, pink, purple and copper, while 505 teal/green, purple, and copper and finally 506 cyan and purple. On the above picture 505 and 506 seem close but this is due to a trick of my camera that tends to turn the green of 505 into blue. IRL they are both very distinct (green for 505 and cyan for 506). I insist on the distinct difference between them. It's not a slight difference! You can really see that they are different!

Here again, my camera turns 505 blue but it's green in real life and thus very different from 506, which is blue/cyan. 506 and 504 are color-accurate.

The above picture is an outdoor picture. You see the green of 505 better! Yay~ Here all the colors are accurate!

The above picture was taken with flash. It shows you the main base color of the different polishes.

And finally you can see the purple you've got in each polish. The purple in 505 and 506 is mostly identical, in 504 it's more red-toned.

Final verdict: All of them are rather sheer (I'll show you in my Ozotic vs Ludurana comparison post), so you need to layer them over a base color. A dark color will show the multichrome effect better. They are all very multichromatic! You move your nails from 1mm and you can see a different colors! There is no trick in my pictures! You can really see that in real life! 504 and 506 shift from blue to purple while 505 from green to purple. 504 is a warmer polish than 506. 504 has a warm-royal blue as a base color and it shifts toward copper-purple. 506 shifts from cyan to a lighter purple. So they are all different and beautiful! Don't forget most cameras tend to turn green into blue so that may be confusing and make you think 505 and 506 are similar but I think I've demonstrated here (esp with the outdoor picture and the picture taken with flash) that they are both different! :D
