Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Summer Collection 2015: The Restockening

promotional samples ahead

I missed the BIG reveal, for the most part. This is Round Two of the OPNL Summer collection, so at least I didn't miss the boat totally. At least I get to show off my pictures for the restock...and I have a surprise at the bottom for you...

It is a gloriously well-rounded eight piece collection. There is literally something for every single person to love. And somehow, they all kinda go with each other...even King Conch!


Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Summer 2015

Aruba Wakening
This is a delightful delicate pale sage bursting with rainbows. I used just two coats and a layer of SV, and everything was sunshine. This reminds me of the ice plant that covers the sand dunes around here.

Teenage Bedroom
I don't even know the inspiration for this one...but oh man. It is a perfect plummy orchid holo that is luminous and glowy even indoors. Something about the reddish shades just calls to me. I used two coats and a layer of SV below. It is perfection. Just magic.

Bermuda High
This color has already been on the blog, so you can check that out if you want a full-on review. This watermelon-punch shade is amazing and deep in two coats. In the bottle it looks hard to wear because it is so warm, but I promise it is a universally flattering shade.

Krait & Barrel
Oh, you black holo. Staple of summertime as much as any neon shade. I wish the sun had been out, because the rainbow is explosive in this one. Again, two coats plus SV was just magical.

King Conch
This one is my custom. I am so glad that Dave liked it enough to share it with the world. Want to see more of this magical polish? Check out the full post here.

It Finally Happened
OPNL has a neon?! Why yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus...and he delivers year round. This crazy-bright (UV Reactive, btw) pink filled with violet flakes is opaque in two coats. I was worried because it looks so warm in the bottle, but once I slapped it on my nail I fell in love.

Piece of Caicos
Another previously reviewed shade! This summer has, thus far, been chaotic for me. Thankfully I have this tranquil aqua holo with turquoise flakes to help me relax. Three coats, followed by topper, and I was ready to roll.

Prism Sentence
The topper to end all (OPNL) toppers. It is a moderately holo topper shoved full of iridescent flakes. You can either swipe it on like a normal polish (shown below) or sponge it on for a super-dense flakegasm. I have seen this over a ton of colors...and it looks fabulous on all of them. I am itching to throw this over a nude for a sneaky sfw manicure.

I don't think I can really pick a favorite...other than King Conch of course. 


and I did mention It Finally Happened was UV reactive...


And there you have it. I am sure that everyone has seen my pictures already, so this isn't a big reveal this time. BUT...at least I get partial credit for being in time for the next restock! Go stalk the facebook for the exact time and day! Until then, there is always LLarowe!

    ReplyDelete
  2. At least 3. Though if you add in variations of "Dave", there could easily be hundreds.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Just one. The cutest one. :o)

    ReplyDelete
  4. One for each new polish he releases!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  6. Dave is King of the 'Puses!

    ReplyDelete
  7. 48 (assuming we are including scientific designations, first names, surnames, nicknames and aliases)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  9. That's easy ;) .... One for each OPNL he creates!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Of 300 species of octopus, 400 should be named Dave. I'm not exactly sure how that would work, but it should happen.

    ReplyDelete
  11. This comment has been removed by the author.

  12. All of them! I love King Conch!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Only one! Unless you plan on giving them all surnames so we'd know the difference! lol

    ReplyDelete
  14. Only one can be worthy. But probably that one that's called Adorabilis. Hapalochlaena Adorabilis Dave

    ReplyDelete
  15. 8 of them, for all the arms of an octopus?!

    ReplyDelete

  20. I found him: http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Dave_the_Octopus

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm going to say 15, because Daves are plentiful.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well, obviously Dave is irreplaceable, so we can't call anything else by his name. But we can call them all "Minion of Dave" (or "cenet Dave" if you want to get fancy and Latin), which has a nice important feel to it. ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Approximately 276 of them. For good measure.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Only one special, there is only one special Dave <3

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm gonna say like, 174. Seems like an agreeable number!

    ReplyDelete
  26. lol maybe they should each be a variation of Dave...David, Davey, Davopulus...no?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Seven. I googled it. Google agrees.

    ReplyDelete
  28. They should ALL be named Dave!

    ReplyDelete
  29. (trying again, hopefully this doesn't turn into 50 copies of the same lame haiku...)
    Imma go with ten
    Because Dave has ten fingers
    Or just for reasons.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Blogger is angry at my comments :( I totes said 42 then noticed other people did as well, AND STUCK TO MY ANSWER DANGIT! -Kadryn

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh and 101 should be named after Dave so be can have his own epic Disney adventure!

    ReplyDelete
  32. All of them! Dave I, Dave II, Dave II...Dave CCXCVIII, Dave CCXCIX, Dave CCC!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Only the holo octopi should be named Dave, or the ones that party.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Only the holo octopi should be named Dave, or the ones that party.

    ReplyDelete
  37. There is only 1 Dave. Enough said.

    ReplyDelete
  38. 7 Dave's since it's my fave number!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Any that match a color in this collection!

    ReplyDelete
  40. All the ones named Dave, of course!

    Gawrsh I really need the pink ones in this collection. The It Finally Happened one is like that Wet N Wild on holo-roids!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. One octopus named Dave...only one makes it more special! :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm going to try to comment again since mobile hates me. I say none! Multiple Dave's would get confusing!

    ReplyDelete
  43. You should name them all Dave but with something in front like "medium sized Dave" "Dave with blue spots" "Poisonous Dave"

    ReplyDelete
  44. 301, including the super octopus that is Dave the creator of OPNL.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hrm maybe a few? I'm sure there are a least a couple of zoo or celebrity octopi named Dave irl.

    ReplyDelete
  46. As little West Collins would say, so many ;)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Dave is a name for the most dapper octopus.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Blogger at my original comment. Lets try this again...

    They all should be names Dave! Hehe

    Beautiful polishes and swatches btw!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Blogger at my original comment. Lets try this again...

  51. All should aspire to be named Dave, but only the best should be given the honor :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. All the ones that sparkle holo

    ReplyDelete
  53. Gorgeous collection! Drool worthy for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  54. HAHA, best requested comment EVER! Maybe only the ones with 8 arms. HAHA

    ReplyDelete
  55. 7 because it's the magic number

    ReplyDelete
  56. Find the most fun and entertaining octopus, and name him Dave! And that topper is aptly named!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Dave is the alpha octopus, all who come after him are inferior.

    ReplyDelete
  58. These are magnificent!!! Thank you for the awesome blog post, Nichole!! 💜

    ReplyDelete
  59. That is the funniest blog comment promt I've ever seen! Hmm, having given this some thought I think they should follow George Foreman's recipe. Dave, Dave the 2nd, Dave the 3rd, Dave the 728th. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Only one Octopus Dave per natural habitation zone, else it would get confusing, but definitely as many as possible without confusion setting in. Oh, forget it, bring on the confusion and name them all Dave!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Dave needs to be all the octopuses, because duh.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Just enough need to be named Dave so that they are all confused by one another.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Only 1, because Dave is a unique octopus

    ReplyDelete
  64. None of them should be called Dave.
    Reason? if you then google Dave octopus, it would be a real octopus that would show up, and not your nail polish.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Is the correct answer all of them?

    ReplyDelete
  66. They all look so gorgeous on you!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'd say at least a quarter of them should have Dave somewhere in their names.

      Delete
  67. Isn't Dave the octupus a character?
