Hey there! Here we have my next instalment in the series of fun things Whats Up Nails recently sent me to try out. Yesterday I raved yet again about how much I adore their Magic Shifting Powders when I posted about Suntan. Today I have another one. This is Ocean, another summer-y name with a color that is gorgeous year round! I also did a bit of stamping, pairing it with Rainforest since I can never leave my nails alone.

The Ocean Magic Shifting Powder is a really rich blue with a purple shift. My photos don't do justice to how gorgeous this is. It's seemed far more saturated in real life. I applied it over a black gel base with a no wipe top coat. And as with all the shifty powders from Whats Up, it went on like butter. Smooth and effortless.
Ever since seeing Ocean and Rainforest come out, I thought they'd pair great for an ocean look. I still believe they do but mine ended up pretty messy. I used a turquoise gel base this time (China Gelaze For Audrey) and applied Ocean to the top and Rainforest to the tips. They did blend really nicely.
Then I triple stamped the mermaid ocean scene from Bundle Monster BM-S187, first in Messy Mansion Carbon and then Chalk. Originally, I left it like that and went to bed but in the morning I decided I didn't like the white look so I went and added another layer with Mundo de Unas Tequila. I'm still not in love with the stamping but I do still love the powders, even if they did dull somehow. I don't know why. I used the same no wipe top coat over the stamping as I did with just the powder. Maybe it was the lighter coloured base? Or maybe I just didn't wipe off my cuticle moisturizer. It's a mystery!
You can find the Ocean Powder here or the Rainforest Powder here. Actually, there's a large selection of colors. I've gotten to try a few and they are far and away my favourite nail powders.
