OCC Makeup Sci-Fi Lullabies Nail Polish Review & Swatches

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Sci-Fi Lullabies Nail Polish Collection Review and Swatches

Today I’ve got the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Sci-Fi Lullabies Spring Nail Polish collection for you. It’s inspired by Sci-Fi, one of my favorite genres to watch or read.  Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is the name of the short story that Bladerunner was based on. Bladerunner was one of the first Sci-Fi movies that Ray declared that I needed to watch. The names Electric Sheep and Batty are nods towards Bladerunner. Ripley, of course, is from Ellen Ripley and the Alien series. Videodrome is an old, Canadian sci-fi techno-surrealist movie. I haven’t seen it but it’s one that Ray and Dave both like. Leeloo is from the Fifth Element, which is a movie I’ve seen a hundred times and loved. Leeloo was, of course, played by the lovely Milla Jovovich and the polish matches her gorgeous hair. I’ve saved the best for last, of course. Pond, after Amy Pond from Dr. Who. I sort of have a love-hate with the Ponds. I enjoyed a lot of the episodes with them (like the one with Cleopatra and Dinosaurs in SPACE!) but sometimes I felt like they overshadowed the Doctor, which never seemed right. Their ending was heart-wrenching. The nail polish, however, is perfect.

OCC Makeup Sci-Fi Lullabies Nail Polish Swatches and review

My favorites from this collection are Pond and Leeloo. I love that both shades are so vibrant and what they represent. I can see Electric Sheep and Ripley both being very popular. Ripley really does come across as an alien greenish shade to me.

What are your favorites from this collection? Do you enjoy seeing companies pay homage to Sci-Fi greats?

  1. Ooooooh, Ripley is so pretty! And holy crap, Videodrome is one of my favorite David Cronenberg films!! I think I nearly fainted when I saw that a nail polish was named after it! Looks like I’ll be picking up my very first OCC nail polishes soon. 😉

  2. Kinda bummed with some of the inspirations even though I like the colors. Two for Blade Runner? Pfft, maybe they should have gone for a Star Trek reference or Sarah Connor from T2. Scully, Buffy, Zoe Washburne, Trinity…also, the Ponds and Dr Who itself is so played out right now. I’m tired of hearing about it, I want to see new stuff out there with really GREAT female (lead) characters! Again, I do like the colors and I like your photos of them *blush*

  3. I’m attracted to Ripley- my taste has done a 360 lately! Love those odd colors.

  4. The colors come from Bladerunner, The Fifth Element, Dr. Who, Aliens, and an old Canadian Sci-Fi Movie called Videodrome.
