Rica - The Ocean Breathes

Press Sample






       Rica sure is on a roll with these stunning collections. The Ocean Breathes is the newest creation, and it does not disappoint. This collection consists of one glitter topper, one shimmer, and four glitter jellies. The names might be my favorite part of this. They're super cute! Don't miss out on all the pictures and a great review under the cut!
















If These Narwhals Could Talk

If These Narwhals Could Talk

     I used one easy coat with no hassle at all over Mellow Yellow. MY is my new favorite yellow. It was perfect in two coats! One coat of Glossy Glam smoothed it over and shined it up.

     This is a mix of my favorite colors and glitter shapes. It would look great over dark bases, too! This is my second favorite of the group.













Shipwreck Siren

violet jelly creme
strong pink to red shimmer

    The first two coats were a bit sheer, but the third coat was a dream. This had a great formula and was easy to apply. The dry time was pretty quick, but it dried a little matte. Glossy Glam was the perfect finish.

    Look at that shimmer! It's so stunning and really eye catching. This is a definite winner for me! 














Whale Be Together

blackened gray jelly base
golden iridescent hexes, squares, and flecks

one coat Glossy Glam

     This had an easy application, but I found it to be really sheer. Three coats made it opaque enough for me. The next time I wear this, I'll layer it over Blackout. One coat of Glossy Glam shined it up.

     There's so much depth in this! It's like galaxy nails without all the work and mess. I can't wait to see this one in sunlight. 













Mermaid For Each Other

blue jelly base
light blue large holo circles
green medium hexes
purple and blue mini holo hexes














Mermaid For Each Other

three thin coats
two coats Glossy Glam












Mermaid For Each Other

     There's SO much glitter in this. I didn't have to fish, shake, or struggle for the large circles to come out. It applied well, but I'd suggest waiting a good bit between coats. I used two coats of Glossy Glam to seal it in. 











Mermaid For Each Other

     This reminds me of looking into clear water to see what's below. It has a great depth and squishy look to it. If you wanted a more opaque or less glitter dense look, you could easily layer this over a base color. 












Oh, Crab!

red jelly base
red glitter mix
tiny holo sparkles















Oh, Crab!

three thin coats
one coat Glossy Glam














Oh, Crab!

       This polish was perfect in three coats. It applied easily and dried quickly. One coat of Glossy Glam finished it off. 













Oh, Crab!

       Some of the red glitters in this have an iridescent shine to them. It makes look fiery and warm. I love it!  













Hold Your Seahorses

green jelly base
neon green stars
dark purple, light blue, neon green, and neon pink hexes














Hold Your Seahorses

three thin coats
one coat Glossy Glam













Hold Your Seahorses

     For being a jelly, this built up amazingly well. I used three easy coats to get this look. The stars came out and gave me no trouble at all. One coat of Glossy Glam was enough to seal it in. 













Hold Your Seahorses

     This is my favorite from the collection! I was surprised how much I loved this. The neon green looks so vibrant in the darker base. It's also my favorite name, too!
