Ozotic 517

Given all the nice weather and bright sunshine we've been having in the PNW, I decided to pull out some old swatches-- but they're holographic, so let's just say I've been waiting for the sun to come out so I could show them off. Ozotic 517 is a silvery blue linear holographic polish. I used three coats here, but and the polish was a little on the sheer side, but I don't recall having any issues with it when I applied it. The blue does get a little lost when you apply this, but it's definitely not a straight-up silver holographic. While I did use a base coat (Cult Nails Get It On), I did not use a top coat so you see 517 in all its glory.

Isn't this gorgeous?! The holo is very strong, even when not not seen under a flash or in the sun. I think the blue softens the overall look of the polish-- I like it more than just a straight-up silver holographic polish.

Unfortunately, this particular polish has been discontinued, but luckily there are tons of other polish makers who have stepped up to fill the void since Ozotic discontinued their holographic polish line-- Hits, Jade, FNUG, Dance Legend, etc. I would recommend checking out Llarowe, Harlow & Co, or Ninja Polish for large selections of holographic polishes.

  3. You're wearing a holo :) :) :) This is so gorgeous and yes, we need to take advantage of the sun while it's here, lol. Why on earth am I not wearing a holo now?...

    1. I am!! I always love how holos look, yet for some reason I never seem to grab them-- probably because they're so coveted! This weather is perfect for holos-- wear them all!
