piCture pOlish - Ariel's Tale

Available from piCture pOlish - $9.50 AUD

G'day! I've got this super pretty glitter to show you today from piCture pOlish - it's called Ariel's Tale and it's a beautiful mix of shiny green glitters both small and large.

Now I'll say this for the non-bloggers - the key to this polish is to layer it!! If you wear it by itself you will be disappointed because it doesn't look like the magnificence of the bottle but if you add it as a top coat to another polish then ... WOW!!

Here's a skittle assortment of other piCture pOlish colours that I thought worked with Ariel's Tale! Thumb is Peaches n' cream, then Monroe [original], Popsicle, Mad Magenta and Attitude. 

I've purposely tried to keep the holo out of the Monroe and Attitude in these photos just because I wanted to show off the glitter not gorgeous holos ;) But I think it really works on all fingers ... I especially love Mad Magenta with it!

But my favourite layering combination would have to be this ... over piCture pOlish Peacock. Seriously pretty.

I think it looks fantastic and the dark glittery base just worked perfectly with Ariel's Tale! I would highly recommend this combo!!!

All these swatches are 3 coats of the base colour with 2-3 coats of Ariel's Tale and have been topped with a Gel Look top coat with a fast drying top coat which I highly recommend doing if you want to get a week out of these looks! All these glitters lie flat so you don't have the temptation to pick at any lumpy bits! YAY!

** Final Verdict **
The sky is the limit really with the amount of combinations you can pull from this. The green seems to match nicely with every polish I pulled out of the drawer!

Oh and it seems appropriate to leave you with the sea after all that so here ... have a shot from one of the local beaches. The weather has definitely warmed right up so I think I'll be spending a lot of time here!

... Ozotic 907 Beam ...

What a way to kick off a Saturday!! I've got another Ozotic to show you lot today. I'm always intrigued by any polish that seems to pull out the magic right in front of you. ABRACADABRA!!!

This is 907 from the Beam series and it's seriously a versatile polish as it has so many looks!! In the bottle it's shimmery white but when you layer it all these little coloured specks come to life.

Let's start at the beginning. This is 2 coats by itself and it's a sparkling white droolfest! Shimmery and fantastic. It's definitely not a stark white but you could get away with wearing this at the office especially as a single coat would give you a similar look but not as bright.

Next is my favourite - 1 thin coat over black.  You can put a thick coat but the result is the same as 2 coats which I'll show further down. Still pretty but slightly different.

Check out those particles of awesomeness!! They seem to be mainly blue and green but they seem to shift to a purple and a yellow aswell - pretty!!

And here they are again with an extra coat of 907. It still looks great dense and seems to take on a silver feel even but I definitely prefer it with one coat!!

** Final Verdict **
I absolutely love this with 1 coat on black and I can definitely see myself wearing it as a shimmery white again in the future too. A word of caution that you need to make sure you only put thin coats on as you can't go back once you've started. Also you need to work quickly or you will end up with bald spots. I'm really looking forward to seeing the others in this series to see what other looks it provides!!!
