Models Own: Indian Ocean
3:51 PM
Today I have a swatch post for you!! This has been in my cache for awhile as evidenced by the sunny setting! I meant to put it up awhile ago but got busy and forgot! Still this is a gorgeous color so I thought I'd share it with you today. :) It's Models Own Indian Ocean from their Beetle Juice line. Indian Ocean is a blue/purple duo chrome and as you can see from this picture, it's pretty sheer. This is THREE coats of polish. It does build up, as you can tell but as far as wearing it alone without VNL, it's a no go.
Here's a different angle so you can see the different colors in it. The overall tone is a light blue but then there are gold and pinky purple tones to it too. It's quite a stunner even without being opaque. For a taste of what it might be like if it WERE more opaque....I layered it over Barry M Blue Moon...
This is a pic of the combo in the shade. It's just fabulous! You can really see the duo chrome effect when you layer this over other colors. I really loved it over the light blue because I think it makes the gold stand out more and also it's sort of demure and safe while at the same time being interesting and unexpected. Here's an angled, sunny shot for you:
Gorgeous, right? The formula on this is pretty standard for Models Own. It IS a very sheer polish as I mentioned earlier but these shots with the base coat are just one coat of Indian Ocean on top so you don't need much for impact!
Do you have any of the Beetle Juice colors? Which is your favorite?

Wow, okay, it's official. This is going on my wishlist. That shimmer is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh wow it looks lovely with the blue underneath! I just got this yesterday and I'm kicking myself for having done three coats without a base colour!
