Octopus Party Nail Lacquer is known, by now, for glorious holos. But who knew that we only see a tiny portion of the magic that Dave creates? He (sorta) recently purged a bunch of prototypes, and I snatched up two of them

I have dubbed this shade "Viceroy Conch" because it is a variant of the custom I commissioned, but it is slightly more pink than the official...so I gave it an official-but-not-as-grand name. Because I can. I used two coats plus Seche Vite here...but I think next time I want a third. I can still see a whisper of nail line. I will say, however, that this shade is a lovely neutral at one coat. It'll give you a blush of color and a hint of sparkle.
Naiades
This is the turquoise shade that made everyone cry. Apparently, this is a "frankenstein". It was a little of this, a bit of that...and then immediately forgotten. I LOVE IT. I gave it the name Naiades because this totally reminds me of water nymphs. I used two thin coats plus Seche Vite here, and I feel like I could be a water nymph.
This post is going to confuse a lot of folks. These were random prototypes, and they all sold very quickly. There were actually a quartet: coral, turquoise, green, and yellow. Through a shipping snafu, I already had the green...and yellow is a hard color for me to wear.
Did you grab any of the OPNL prototypes? Which one would you love to see in production? Let me know below!
Definitely would love to see Naiades in production. It's stunning!
ReplyDeleteBoth are SO beautiful. Naiades might be THE most gorgeous polish I've ever seen. Yeah, I love it that much. (And I love the name. I'm a sucker for Greek mythology!)
ReplyDeleteyesssssss. I am on a mission to fill the world with customs named for mythological characters. I had an eyeshadow duo named Scylla & Charybdis, this year is was a polish called Eurayle...which makes me want a whole Gorgon collection.
DeleteThey were all gone when I got there but I would have killed for the yellow!
ReplyDeleteNaiades is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried OPNL yet! It is on my list of brands to try though. These 2 colors really compliment each other too. These are really great prototypes.
ReplyDeleteWow that blue is gorge!! Sad I missed it!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty polishes. I like that they sold their prototypes.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't pulled the plug and bought one of these polishes but I need to!
ReplyDeleteOooh! Viceroy Conch is gorgeous!! Shame that it was only a prototype, I would love this polish!
ReplyDeleteOPNL polishes look amazeballs! I must try them sometime.
ReplyDeleteI like how these look! Such a shame they're prototypes!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I love that first one - so so subtle! :)
ReplyDeleteI got the blue one, and the name you chose is so perfect that I will write it on the label :) Dave should let you name some future polishes ;)
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous! And Naiades is just WHOA! Totally deep see underwater magic feels!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!!
