I'm Obsessed
-05.18.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, fast-drying
I bought Chimera just to try the brand. Now I wish I hadn't because I can't get enough of this brand. The polish goes on so smooth and dries in a flash. I wore it for a whole week with minimal tip wear. I love this polish so much I ordered 5 more. Can't wait for Wasabi to come back in stock. This polish is better than my favorite brand Butter London and is less expensive. Try it once at your own risk and welcome to your newest obsession!

AWESOME
-05.14.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent, vibrant
Long lasting, chip resistant, great great nail polish. The color is slightly more orange than coral, but it is vibrant and potent and fun, and I received complements from three women in the salon when my manicurist applied it before I even paid, they all wished I hadn't brought my own, but was using one available at our nail place. So fun for summer, but it is bright and bold so if you are looking for more of a true coral/red beware.

Great polish!
-05.01.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent, fun colors
I typically will not polish my nails unless I go to a salon and pay for a shellac manicure. I type on a keyboard all day long and nothing ever lasts...I don't have the patience for nail polish that takes way too long to dry, is messy, and then chips immediately! Enter Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics...
I LOVE this polish! First, the color choices are awesome. I've been wanting a gray and an emerald color and found them both here. I love the opaque colors. The formula covers well without having to slather it on thick...which only leads to smudges and nicks on too-thick nails. The brush seems to lend itself to a good application, and trust me when I say I don't have mad skills in this department, so something is helping me keep it on my nails instead of all over my cuticles and fingers! The formula also seems to last quite well, even through the beatings my fingers take while working on a keyboard all day.
Don't expect miracles....it's still just nail polish, afterall. If I want a near guarantee of completely chip-proof nails, I still go pay for the high-dollar manicure. But this is a fantastic way to do something fun at home in between with little fuss and good staying power. It also dries fast too! Must get more colors!

Best white I've found.
-04.15.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent
I've been wearing opaque white polish for years, and so far OCC polish (in Feathered) is the best I've found. For some reason, white tends to crack around the corners/sides of the nail starting a few days in (I've used OPI, Essie & Orly). The application takes a little getting used to, but once you nail it (ha), the color stays put for almost an entire week before chipping. I might be imagining this but the brush seems kinda flat too, making for easier application. Also dries faster, as advertised. I'll be repurchasing!

Cannot remove it no matter what
-04.14.13
I purchased the Inky color and was debating returning it because I feel like it's way more black than blue-black... and it chipped the first day (even though I used the same top coat I always use). But when I went to remove it, it was a giant mess. I've used the Sephora nail polish remover, a cheaper off-brand one, and straight acetone, and it's still clinging to my cuticles like crazy and also under the nail bed. What a mess! It took me 45 minutes to remove it to a reasonable place so I can just throw something else over it.
I wear dark (even brown/black) nail polish all the time and have never had this problem before.

Formula is streaky
-04.07.13
I loved this in the color anime in online swatches I found, so I thought I'd try it out.
Wow! Streaky sticky mess! My bottle also didn't exactly look like the ones I found online either. Maybe I got a bad bottle? Online it looks like a neon hot pink. I got a streaky washed out neon highlighter pink color. Out of my upwards of 100+ polishes I own, this one was by far one of the worst I've ever tried as far as formula alone goes.

love the color
-03.16.13
(pool boy) The color is really pretty. And the brush makes it easier to get perfect looking nails without the skills of a pro.
Like everything so far, ave only used it once though.

One of my new favorites. Not only is it extremely long lasting and highly pigmented but it is also cruelty free. I will absolutely be buying more colors.

Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing
I really like the colors offered... Unfortunately, I bought Anime which I thought would be a sheer glossy bright pink - it turned out to be nothing more than neon pink. Still a good polish though and I will try the other colors...

-02.19.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, fast-drying
Blue Nail polish is my favorite and I fell in love with this color when I first saw it! I did a lot of research on the colors and ingredients and this is very unique. This product is wonderful. It is very long lasting and very opaque even with one coat. With the proper base coat and top coat it could last a good week with out chipping. Looking forward to buying more OCC products in the future!

Fabulous Formula & Trendy Colors
-02.08.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying
I purchased five OCC nail lacquers back in December and I am thrilled with the two I've tried -- Grandma and Chlorophyll. The formula is spot on. It applies evenly and is opaque in two coats. I love that the OCC color choices are unique and trendy, and even the names are cute! I can't wait to try more of these out.

It Was Average

I bought Pool Boy, it was a nice light mint/aqua. It was average. Streaky the first two coats, great on the third. Pretty average.

I never write reviews but this polish deserves one. I love the brush, makes application very easy and smooth. Very opaque and durable. Very, very happy with this nail polish. I love all the colors too! I bought tarred, pool boy and suspiria. I now want ALL the colors!

Will Not Color Match with Lip Tars
-01.21.13
Quick Take: long wearing, chip resistent, not match lip tar
Obviously a good quality nail lacquer, that has both high pigment and great staying power. However, if you are like me and purchased so you could color match with your lip tar, beware the fact that the color will be far from close. I bought Strumpet to match my lip tar. The lip tar of Strumpet is a beautiful grape purple, while the nail lacquer is a maroon-red. Not even a close match. Still a high-quality lacquer regardless.

Chlorophyll
-01.18.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
I liked the color when switched. Formula goes on smooth and glossy. I'm returning it though, because it is almost identical to julep brand's daphne color, which I already have.

I love the NSFW color. It is a true deep red. It usually lasts a couple of days for me, but this is typical of all polishes for me. It goes on smoothly or me. It does not dry quickly, so do not use if in a hurry.
