Day 7 - Fluff by Ocean

It's been a whole week of different nails! And the  polish for Day #7 is Fluff by Ocean.

Without Flash.
With Flash.

I did say that I was going to try another Ocean polish today so you should have seen this coming. I picked Fluff. A lovely off white which looks a little like french vanilla ice cream color to me. A very little yellow or cream to it but it's barely noticeable. I do like this color a lot though! And I did get a chuckle how well it matched my walls.

The application this time was nothing like yesterdays. It was so sheer and clumpy that I had to get to 4 thick layers to get this and then I just gave up. It never fully dried either. I have no idea why it is so different to yesterdays. Do you have experiences with polishes being inconsistent in consistency? I'll try another Ocean color sometime soon to see what's going on.

Day 6 - Catwalk Crimson by Ocean

Day 6 brings us to Catwalk Crimson by Ocean.

Now let me just begin to tell you about this color. I picked Catwalk Crimson by Ocean as today's color as I figured that I would put it in my sale/swap pile because I have enough reds and I really haven't heard of this brand so I figured it wasn't very good. Boy was I ever wrong. This polish is amazing!!! I mean it went on so thick and smoothly with the first coat that I didn't need a second coat, but I felt weird not doing more than one coat so I did another. It was as if I didn't put another coat on, the first was just so saturated with color! It dried super fast too. It did have a downside though, when I went to clean up the edges, the color bed all over my nails so I had to stop or risk blood red fingers all day (and that is why the edges are so rough on this manicure). So now I know how to put it on next time to avoid that. This polish is truly a keeper! I'm excited to try out a different color but same brand tomorrow to see how it works out.


Have any of you heard of the brand Ocean? Or  They are from the same company and I found them on sale at a sample sale site for 3 for $11. And I figured why not get them? Are they a salon only brand? How much do they retail for? I don't have a clue. lol. 

Anyway, this color is a true deep dark red and absolutely stunning. A lot deeper and darker than in the pictures. I like it so much!
