Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Winter 2015 Collection

***Press Sample***

Launching today is the Winter 2015 Collection by Octopus Party Nail Lacquer, and I've got some swatches for ya!

First up: Ilex Vinum

*Disclaimer: I realize my skin looks jaundiced or mannequin-like in the below photos - my camera just would not capture the true color of this polish, so I made the executive decision to photoshop the polish to its true color, sacrificing my skintone in the process :P

Check out that blue flash!!!  *drools*

Ilex Vinum is a gorgeous holly berry red with a holographic effect with a blue flash.  It is a stunner!  It is also *almost* a one-coater - depends on how thick you like to apply.  I am wearing two thin coats in the photos above with no topcoat.

Next up: Kin Peaks

Kin Peaks is a lovely medium light blue with a subtle holographic effect.  This one is opaque in 2-3 coats - I am wearing three thin ones in the photos above with a quick-dry topcoat.

Next: Menthol Nights

Menthol Nights is the perfect deep forest green with a very strong holographic effect.  Unfortunately, the sun had disappeared when I was swatching this one, so I was unable to get an outdoors sunshot for you :(  This could also be a one coater depending on application - I am wearing two thin coats in the photos above with no topcoat.

Last up: Crown of Queen Elizabeth

The sun decided to make an appearance for THIS beauty, so the pic to the right is a direct sun shot!

Crown of Queen Elizabeth is a gorgeous white/very light grey ultra holographic polish, opaque in 3 coats.  There's really nothing bad I can say about this absolute stunner... You absolutely need this polish - you NEED this polish.  Usually, when I get press samples in, I log them and set them aside to work on them when I'm ready to swatch them.  When I got this one, I didn't wait.  I still had the bubble wrap and package empty on my kitchen table when I immediately put this beauty on my nekked nails :D  YOU NEED THIS.
