OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is a fairly new brand of nail polish - to me anyway. So I was really excited to give them a try. I was sent 6 shades and the ranged from soft and pale to bright and in your face. They currently have 20 nail polish colors to choose from on their website and they sell for $8.00 each. Let's take a look at them:

HUSH
A very pale, soft color. The website describes this as pink, but I think it is more of a band-aid color.



UBER
The flash picture is more color accurate, as it is a lighter brown color. Very pretty and shiny!



RHYTHM BOX
A hot pinkish/purple shade. I guess it could fall under the term "berry". Like Uber, this one was really glossy.




WASABI
This was the one I most excited about, since it was the brightest. Plus I just love the name! This one did take 3 good coats to become opaque, but totally worth it.


TRAFFIC
A super bright yellow. I was surprised at how opaque this one was, as yellows are notorious for needing several coats. This was done in just two, but I did add another coat just to really define the color. Super glossy too.


SPANGLEMAKER
A silver, foil color. This is one of the best silver foils I have used. You can tell in the flash pic just how foily the effect of this one is.

All in all, I really liked all of these colors. I love how glossy almost off of these were. My only complaint has to be the brushes, they seemed inferior to the great quality of the polish formula. They weren't bent or anything like that, they just seemed a little too long and a little to thin. That said, I still think this is great, upcoming nail polish brand worth checking out. You can order from their website RIGHT HERE.
