Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Ink Or Swim and Neon Swim III Duo Swatches and Review

Octopus Party Nail Lacquer has just released a few new polishes and I was able to purchase them in advance to take pictures - there is a new version of the shade Ink Or Swim, which originally released in 2014, and the Neon Sin III Duo. The Neon Sin III Duo is themed on South Korean nightlife and is available for pre-order in the Facebook group The Octosquad through July 18. Let's check them out!

Octopus Party Ink or Swim 2022 is a navy-black jelly. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. You will see more of the blue in fewer coats. This originally released in 2014 as the first Octopus Party Nail Lacquer color, and the new version is much darker, more opaque, and less aqua than the original, which you can see here.  The polish had a good formula and dried quickly. 

Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Garosugil is from the Neon Sin III Duo, and is an iron blue jelly with blue-purple-gold multichrome shimmer. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover and it had a quick dry time. It is very sparkly in direct sun. The name means "you look darned good!"  

Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Newtro is a bright navy blue jelly with silvery and lilac-blue-aqua multichrome shimmer. I wore it in four thin coats and it retained some translucency. This has a unique silvery multichrome look to it. The dry time is medium-fast. The name is a portmanteau of "new" and "old" and describes recycling of old trends in new ways. 

 Now for live swatches!

The polishes are available in the Facebook group The Octosquad and the Neon Sin III Duo is a pre-order through July 18. Dave does great distilled ideas in sophisticated finishes and I love the dark mysterious vibe of these polishes. Have you ever explored Seoul at night?
