Octopus Party Nail Lacquer: Ella Ann Exclusives

***Press Sample***

I hope you all are enjoying/enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday!  Who all is prepping their fingers for some online Black Friday shopping??

Ella Ann Cosmetics is releasing their four Octopus Party Nail Lacquer polishes for pre-order at 10:00pm EST and it will run till Sunday, November 27th at 10:00pm EST.  I've got the swatches of those pretties to share with you tonight!

First up: Amulet

Amulet is a beautiful gold microflakie and holo glitterbomb, opaque in 2-3 coats (I'm wearing 3).

Next up: Edge of Velveteen

Edge of Velveteen is a lovely berry plink holo, opaque in 2 coats.

Next up: On the Frocks

On the Frocks is a fun blue iridescent glitter topper, shown here in one coat over "You, Me, and Daiquiri" by OPNL and "Cynthia" by Zoya.

And finally we have: Stag Party

Stag Party is a very deep, dark chocolate brown holo, opaque in 2 coats.

These are all so gorgeous!!  Though On The Frocks takes my heart, as the glitters reflect in a way that reminds me of bio-luminescence in the waters of Puget Sound :)

You can get these HERE right now!!  Will you be snagging any of these pretties?

Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Fall Collection

***Press Sample***

I'm having one of those I-woke-up-with-a-migraine kind of days, so I'm gonna make this short and sweet!  This is the Fall collection by Octopus Party Nail Lacquer!  Let's get to some swatches!

Please note: all by one are shown in 3 thin coats plus topcoat.  I specify which one is not.

First up: Monster

Monster is a gorgeous mauve linear holo with orange/lime iridescent and lime holographic glitters throughout.  Loooooove this one - probably my favorite of them all :)

Next up: Red Blood Sells

Red Blood Sells is a deep burgundy linear holo with red flakies throughout.  Talk about your vampy red!!!

Next: Swamped

Swamped is a delicious black olive linear holographic - and my very close second to my favorite of these four.  It's just wonderfully gorgeous!!

And lastly we have: The Midas Crutch

The Midas Crutch is a gold linear holographic topper, shown here in two coats on the pointer and pinky, and one on the middle and ring over Digital Nails' I See France.  The second macro nail shot above is a side by side of one vs. two coats.

These are all still available as a pre-order right now until 9pm EST tonight!!  Here's where you can find them and where you can follow the brand:

Octopus Party Nail Lacquer's Ella Ann Exclusives

***Press Sample***

Howdy folks!

I've got 4 beautiful polishes that Dave, the alchemist of Octopus Party Nail Lacquers, created as exclusives for Ella Ann Cosmetics.  No, they are not available anymore.  Yes, I am a Lamesaur for not posting this before the window to purchase was closed.  Shame on me.  A million mosquito bites on my foot.

But I wanted to at least share some photos with you, in case you did not purchase because you thought, "Meh, it's just polish."

It is so much more though...

We'll start with Butch Gardens:

Butch Gardens is a gorgeous tealy green with an amazing purple shimmer and a strong holographic effect.  I luffles it ^_^

Next in line is Suffocation:

I don't know what to call Suffocation, as it seemed to change colors constantly in different lighting, which was awesome!!  I guess if I had to label it, I'd take is as a steel grey with dusty purple undertones and shimmer, and a very strong linear holo effect.

Here we have Prey for Me:

Chocolate. Brown. HOLO.  Prey For Me is my dream brown holo polish - it's the perfect vampy, yet cozy shade and it's holo.  This polish has my Fall name written all over it!

And finally we have my personal favorite - Hocus Focus:

Hocus Focus is another shifty lady - purple in some lighting, periwinkle in others, and full on vibrant bright blue in the sunlight with a more subtle holograhic effect.  It's really, really gorgeous and the shifts and effects in in remind me of Sleeping Beauty's dress that changed colors - make it pink! make it blue!!

Overall Dave knocked these out of the park.  Can't say I'm surprised as I have yet to stumble across an OPNL that is garbage.  I don't think that's possible...

So anyway!  I know the Fall Part 1 collection *should* be coming up for a second round of pre-orders this Saturday, but don't quote me on that...  If so, I'll have a blog post for you on that collection BEFORE it re-releases.  In the mean time, make sure you are following Octopus Party Nail Lacquer where you can - here are the links:

Octopus Party Nail Lacquer New Releases

***Press Sample***

I was going to title this the Rave but not Rave collection as a joke for some of us in the fan group, who are set that this was turning out to be a Rave collection :P  But then I thought people may not actually read this post and find out that's not the name of the polishes, then have a conniption fit when they couldn't find the Rave but not Rave collection :P

Anyway!

Dave of Octopus Party Nail Lacquer recently released four new colors for summer.  So here's some swatch porn for you :D

Let's start with Disco Tech:

Blacklight Shot - BAM!

Disco Tech is an awesome purple jelly packed with various sized neon orange dots.  It's packed, but it's not super thick, like oh so many other glitter-packed polishes.  I am wearing 3 thin coats and a topcoat in the photos above over my nekkid nails.  Yeah you can see my Visible Nail Line through it - I've got naughty nails, what can I say?

Next up: Sobriquet

Sobriquet is a vampy deep, dark blue (like, Midnight Zone blue) with a smattering of blue shimmer.  It's so freakin' gorgeous, folks.  I luffles it.  My favorite of the four new polishes.  I'm wearing 2 coats with a topcoat.

Here we have: Blessed Be The Tide That Binds

Blessed Be the Tide That Binds is a sparkletastic glitter topcoat packed with various sized green and blue holo glitters, as well as a turquoise flakie shimmer.  It's glorious.  I am wearing 1 coat over Sobriquet on all fingers but the ring finger - that one's doing a solo act with 2 coats.  All nails are topcoated.

And lastly we have: Racqueteering 

Racqueteering is a HOLY CRAP neon citron color - very reminiscent of a tennis ball.  I just can't with this one - it's a perfect neon with incredibly smooth application, and opaque in 2 coats with no basecoat.  You read that right,  NO BASECOAT.  *I die...and come back.*  

You want these?  Oh c'mon, yes you do!  There will be a small re-stock this morning of the leftover bottles from the last launch.  When?  11AM EST.  Here are some linkages:
