White Stamping Polish Comps over 515

Another stamping polish comparison post...using a different holo base...not nervous this time as I know if I drop or spill it, I can replace this bottle a little easier!    This is what I came up with.

Started with a base of Ozotic 515.  After my regular base, I did add a coat of Nfu aqua base, then two coats of Ozotic 515.

After Ozotic 515 was applied, I used Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamond Flash Fast dry topcoat (aka the one in the black bottle).  As I've mentioned before, I had read that this topcoat doesn't dull holo polishes...and so far, I can't complain with the results.

For this stamping comparison post, I decided to do a comparison between Konad white special polish and FUN white stamping polish.  While I'm happy with the results and cleanup of Konad white, I did this comparison more so just to see if FUN came close to the end result of Konad white as Konad does seem to be set the standard of white stamping polishes IMHO. The pix below is the stamping using both Konad and FUN stamping polishes.  Can you tell which one is Konad and which one is FUN?  Neither can I!

On the thumb, middle and pinky as shown below, FUN white stamping polish was used.

Index and ring finger were stamped with Konad white special polish.  I couldn't tell the difference between the two!

The image plate used for this comparison was the same as my last post, XL Y.  This plate quickly became one of my favourites because it has some great full size images and you can see the base polishes well underneath which is great for layering experiments.  I again topped with this mani with Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamond Flash Fast dry topcoat (aka the one in the black bottle); you will notice too that there wasn't any stamping drag using it on either of the stamping polishes.

The next day, I took a pix of Ozotic 515 outside in the sun.

I was really pleased with the results of the FUN white stamping polish.  When I ordered back in the spring, I ordered the small bottles because I wasn't too sure on how they would stamp.  I've since ordered a large bottle for when the mini runs out...along with larger bottles of most of their other colours as I've been happy with the results using the FUN stamping polishes generally.   The small bottle is 6 ml and when converted, sell for $1.69 US.  The 12 ml, larger bottles go for $3.13.

FUN stamping polishes and XL Y are available at My OnLine Shop and Fab Ur Nail.  Ozotic 515 (and other Ozotics) are available from llarowe and Harlow & Co.  All online links are provided on the homepage on the tab Where I Get My Stuff.

Thanks for looking!

Here Comes the Sun!

Here's the sun!

This is two coats of OPI Guy Meets Galveston, topped with one coat of Ozotic Pro 621, stamped with CND Gold Chrome, fauxnad IP T03.

A few pix in different lighting in different stages of the mani. The holo has so many different faces to it, plus it was difficult to capture the stamping in all lighting, so I apologize now for picture overload! This is artifical lighting with the Ozotic Pro on top; this pix you can see the gold shimmer peeking thru. You may notice that in some of the pix, the holo is not bright red as you may have seen on other images in the blogeshere. I only used one coat of the Ozotic Pro in my desperate attempt to conserve as I may never seen another red holo again and need to make this baby last!

This Ozotic polish came direct from Australia...a very long awaited and much anticipated swap! The picture below, again artifical light, you can see blue shimmer undertones better.

A couple more pix of with the stamping.

Overcast conditions to show stamping...but sparkles in the holo are still evident. (btw, I'm holding OPI Coral Reef, not the Ozotic Pro...just to be what was handy when I took pix!)

Here's two coats of OPI Guy Meets Galveston. A jelly again, but better coverage than the New York Summers I've been wearing recently. Still can see a little bit of VLN but nothing too serious and I knew I was topping it with the holo so left at two coats.

I'm so happy today is sunny (cold, but sunny!) cause all I can do is stare at my nails! I love holo's! I hope you're seeing some sun where you are! I'm certainly going to enjoy it today even though its chilly, as its calling for rain all weekend!

Have a good one and thanks for looking!
