MAC Surf Baby: Konad Nail Art Using Ocean Dip Nail Lacquer With Swatches and Review









"Ocean Diiiiip, I'm so afraid to show my feelings, I have sailed a million ceilings in my solitary room, Ocean Diiiiiip...."

I know it's tacky, but I'm pretty sure somebody from MAC heard the song Ocean Deep from the 80s and had this inspiration to use "Ocean Dip" as a name for this nail lacquer. lol

Anyways, here's a look using one of my Konad images, I believe from the m26 image plate. Since the Surf, Baby collection is all about the hibiscus flower, I copied the hibiscus logo. I found an image of a hibiscus and used Konad special polish in Red for the image. I added some 2mm green rhinestones. It's been three days and I have yet to see a chip in my manicure. I am liking Ocean Dip. Very nice mid-tone aqua cream. It is similar to American Apparel nail lacquer in Malibu Green, except that the latter is brighter, more opaque and applies a smidge better than Ocean Dip. Ocean Dip is a bit dustier and takes three coats to achieve the opacity of a two-coater Malibu Green. Other than that, Ocean Dip applies well, didn't give me any streaks, and is basically a well-behaved formula.
