Amor de Lacquer: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics’ polishes
Welcome to another post of Amor de Lacquer….the series all about nail polish and nail care! Send me your requests, suggestions and ideas to Brittany@ClumpsOfMascara.com.
Ohmigoodness…I can NOT believe I am just now reviewing OCC’s nail polishes. I’ve been eye-ing them for over a year now. I blame Scrangie. Do y’all follow her blog? My goodness…good ole’ Scrange will have you foaming at the mouth over her beautiful nail polish swatches.
And so when I went to The Makeup Show NYC this year, I made it my business to run over to OCC and get get myself acquainted with a few of the polishes.
You ready?
I have a thing for chartreuse polishes. They are just so striking to me. Wasabi is was a wee bit watery for me…hence the sinking of it in my cuticles. But it’s awesome nonetheless! I don’t have OPI’s Who The Shrek Are You, but I think that they may be dupes.

While Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is most known for their lip tars, I think their polishes deserve a bit of a look too. I found them to be a wee bit watery so they require small strokes at a time. I used 3 coats for each look and they wear pretty well too. You can snag them for $8 a bottle over at OCCMakeup.com. And yep…they are big 3 free!
Your fellow nail polish junkie,

Wow, I love these colors, they are so beautiful and bright!
Those are so cute! I'm in love with Chalkboard, I too was one to clap the erasers after school, I get ya girl!
!
I'm gonna have to buy a bottle
Thanks lovelies!!
I sooo have to get "Swamp Thing"!!!
I totally missed your original post on Mac's "Dirty Olive" so a year later, I go and check out the review and fell in loooove with the color! It has been a must have on my wish list for awhile.
Flash foward to the last couple of months and I can't find it anywhere! So to now see someone has created a very similar color I am geeked! Thanks for the review!
Hmmm…now my new search is $8 for nail polish. Lol.
I LOVE Chalkboard! Does Wasabi compare to Who the Shrek are You? at all?
I have Swamp Thing and Chalkboard. I actually like Swamp Thing…it is VERY weird. Which drew me to it. I've only worn it once…last summer while on a camping trip (yes I did my nails before a rugged camping trip…don't judge me) but that may be why I liked it. It felt woodsy and "dirty" and seemed to go with the whole nature/camping thing. Its not something I would wear all the time though. I also have MAC's Dirty Olive but have yet to wear it. It is a dupe. I'm just drawn to different/unique polish colors. Chalkboard looks great on you! Love it!
I LOVE chalkboard! I want it right now
And swamp thing is oddly appealing to me as well…
