OCC Nylon Lip Tar Review, Photos, Swatches
OCC Nylon Lip Tar
Does It Get Any Brighter Than This?
OCC Nylon Lip Tar ($16.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as a “neon pink.” This color is electric–it’s absolutely a bold, bright neon pink with subtle blue undertones. I really think this is the brightest pink I own. MAC Dear Diary is darker, less bright. MAC Candy Yum Yum is a bit more magenta and less bright but comes the closest.
OCC’s Lip Tars are supposed to have the wear of a lipstick with the ease of a gloss–long-wearing, lightweight, and satin-matte in finish. Nylon is insane. It’s blindingly bright. True to form, a little goes a long way for opaque color coverage. There is a learning curve with Lip Tar, but if you apply with a brush, you’ll learn quickly and easily. It’s just such a pigmented formula that if you over-apply, you’ll end up with too much product, which will end up on your teeth and will be prone to feathering.
The texture is a creamy liquid, not so thin that it’s watery, but not thick or heavy. On the lips, it feels lightweight and sets after a couple of minutes to the satin-matte finish (initially, it may look a wee bit glossy, depending on how much product you’ve applied). When I wore this, it lasted for eight and a half hours–and there was still a pink-y stain left behind. (It stained my arm when I did a swatch for it, and it couldn’t have been on my arm for longer than a few minutes.) It lasted through a meal and two coffees. The best part, aside from the awesome wear, was that it wasn’t drying.
Quick note: this launches tomorrow on Sephora, so you won’t see it up ’til then. 🙂

Okay. I want an need this now! Even though I already have Candy Yum Yum this just looks 10x better! xD
I know, right? I mean if you wanted neon…
WOW. That is bright. Too bright for me, for sure. I do like your eye look though 🙂
I can totally understand! It is wicked bright!
That is in-frickin’-sanely bright. I love it on you. Is Sephora going to launch the OCC Lip Tar collection or just this NYLON shade? I can’t stop looking at your lips! (that didn’t sound wrong at all, did it?) 🙂
They’re launching the Lip Tars’ range, but I don’t know if they’ll have ever shade or not. I’m thinking they will launch both tomorrow, but I’m not 100% sure – I’m just guessing it’s a way to kick off their launch since this shade is exclusive to Sephora.
OCC at Sephora?!?!?!?? Heck yes! 🙂
So excited!
Only you could make blindingly bright neon lips look good. LoL!
I love OCC lip tars, but I will take a pass on this colour.
It’s soooo bright! I went to Shaun’s office and was like, “BLAMMO!”
LOL
It hurts my eyes…
Look away, look away! lol!
Ooooh, must have!
You could so rock this!
<3
This is so pretty! Will only this shade be available thru sephora or will the whole range be made available? Thanks!
Additional shades are coming to Sephora, but Nylon is exclusive to Sephora!
wow. OCC just keeps jacking up their prices. A year ago the tars were 12.50, then 14.00, then 15.00, and now $16 bucks?? What have they done to justify the price increase? Added SPF? Nope. Increased the quantity? Nope. Just seems like they are feeding into their own hype and getting greedy and I’m not feelin’ it.
They actually did increase the quantity when they went with their new packaging 🙂 They used to be 0.27 and now are 0.33 fl. oz. – just over a 20% increase.
This color is so not for me but I love how bright and pigmented it is!
It is gorgeous!
I loooove it!! I don’t usually like pinks, admittedly, but this is just perfect. and it could be worn toned down or as a blush. so versatile. I’m getting Belladonna and Strumpet later with the Concealer and I juuuust might have to pick this up. 🙂
Yay!! 🙂
yay! a mac candy yum yum dupe…
IMO, even better 🙂 If you’re really striving for a neon pink, at least!
Goodbye MAC Candy yum yum! 🙂
Haha!
This looks awesome! I have never used these before, does it last long if you are a person who constantly licks their lips a lot? I can never get a lipstick to stay glossy or not fade away on my lips :'( LOL
I can’t say I’ve tested it that way, but it is long-wearing and lasts through eating/drinking pretty well, so I don’t know if it’ll last as long, but it should still be long-wearing.
I know someone who licks their lips rather obsessively. She says these are the only lip colours that stay on more than a few hours. I know a lot of people are amazed by the wear time. It gets through drinking and eating fine.
I’m curious. How neon is this compared to OCC Anime? 😀
I don’t think I’ve swatched Anime myself, but given what I’ve seen of it, it seems several shades darker – more fuchsia.
OCC posted this photo as well – https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151087838589761&set=a.85835194760.69922.57321029760&type=1
Ahh i see! Thanks for the link! ^^
Will Sephora have all the colors? Or just Nylon?
Hi,
I only know they’re launching Lip Tars, generally, but I don’t know if they’ll have all the shades or not!
Thanks for the info! I hope they’ll have some of the brighter colors to play with!
WOAH! That would glow under a black light!!
It’s been just under a year since I purchased, and I was wondering if their formula was still mint scented.
It’s not a deal breaker or anything (I LOVE their formula) I just like to use it as a blush as well, and find it a little strange to have minty fresh cheeks!
Yes, still mint scented!
Thanks Christine!
you look gorgeous as always, by the way!!
Thank you, J.C.!
Why are they $16 @ sephora. ..but only $15 on occ’s website? love the color so I’m definitely waiting to place my sephora order until tomorrow! !
I’m not sure, but I’m just going off of the press release OCC sent!
Will this be available in Canada? Or at least ship online to Canada? I desperately hope they don’t put a limitation on OCC, I already can’t get so many amazing brands 🙁
I have no idea, sorry, Emma! You could try asking OCC or Sephora!
I remember OCC released a teaser picture of this on their Facebook a few weeks back, and I nearly stopped breathing! They had this next to Anime and it made Anime almost look demure. This is definitely going to be in my makeup bag!
Thank you for the tip on the photo!
This color is a little too nuts for me, but I’m excited that Sephora is going to carry the Lip Tars–after reading your reviews, I definitely want to try the formula. These are the kind of thing I’d want to swatch on myself in person though, so I never ordered online. Looking forward to trying them out!
Me too! I think more people will be willing to check them out then 🙂
omg that is absolutely gorgeous. this post is great because i just bought two sets of lip tars from suite7beauty plus the sugarpill heartbreaker palette 10 lip tars total i’m so happy
Wow! that’s a lot of Lip Tar!
i know lol on there both sets were 37 dollars each so not too bad
Since I missed out on Candy Yum Yum, I might as well get this!
I think you’ll like it even more 🙂
Since when is OCC sold at Sephora? 😮
Lip Tars will be coming to Sephora shortly 🙂
Drat $16 now?? That’s like a $3 increase in one year!!
First thing that came to my mind was Candy Yum Yum!!
Great dupe!!!
Definitely close to CYY!
Lip Tars are still 15$ on their website. Sephora always likes to increase prices.
And by “their” website, I mean OCC’s.
OMG I need this in my life….I totally missed out on candy yum yum…so this is what I totally need in my life!
I would love this if I could figure out how to apply lip tars well. Also, I don’t know if it’s just me, but mine have kind of a chemical smell, at least in the packaging, that really bothers me. Maybe it’ll go away?
Hmm, it just has a sort of minty smell to me!
i hope in the future sephora will carry other OCC products!
LOVE the liptars! And – as with any of the more “intense” lip pigments – I usually make sure I sheer it out with either a little white, hush or clear. Works for me. And then – sometimes – a girl just needs to have some BRIGHT lips 😀
I need this in my life. It is too gorgeous for words and would be beautiful mixed with a clear gloss!
This is just awesome, I totally missed out on Candy Yum Yum – both times 😐 but have heard there were some issues with the texture despite how pretty it was. I was actually considering looking into which lip tars I might use to mix up a similar color but looks like OCC already did the work for me. No need to worry or be sad now. 😀
Yay!! 🙂 So happy for you, Safyre!
lovely shade!
This seriously blinded me. Ow!! Great pictures but I don’t think I’ll be grabbing this.
I *really* want to try the formula, but so far I haven’t seen a color I find wearable.
That’s the fun- mixing them!
*blinded*
Cool! Not for me, but I’m still loving it!
Candy Yum Yum dupe? SOLD!!!! 😀 Thanks, Christine!
No prob, Miss J!
I acted like a loon and checked the site all through the night. This just MADE my morning, LOL. NEON BARBIE PINK TWIN OF CYY!!! Mine. *flails while squeeling* 😀 The site says it’s limited edition, hmm, suppose I am glad I acted like a look considering I missed out on CYY 2x now. I woulda been pissed if I missed on this.
Does it set on the lips? And by that, I mean, if you kissed a friend on the cheek, would it transfer on them?
It definitely transfers!
How does this compare to Anime lip tar? 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever swatched or seen Anime myself, but from photos, it looks like a darker pink.
Is it going to be sold On camera ready cosmetics?
This is exclusive to Sephora!
Toooooo bright for me, but wow, that’s impressive.
I thought the whole idea behind the Lip Tars was that you combined them to form your own custom shades. If that’s how you use them, I can understand the inclusion of a shade like this in the line. The only thing is that you’d have to own many colors to have the greatest flexibility in creating your own–and the willingness to waste some product in the interest of experimentation!
WOW lol!
Oh, this will definitely be mine!
Ah man, you brought out the underline for the description. That’s gotta be one fierce color.
For some reason, I’m not so keen on loud eye colors, but I love the heck out of a bright and bold lip. This is definitely going on my wish list. (And it’s not LE, yay!)
I think it is gorgeous, but would bring out the yellow in my teeth. I would still like to try the formula in a different shade.
On the website it says limited edition :'(
Sad 🙁 I didn’t see that in the press release!
Now I remember why I get MAC more than any other brand carried by Sephora. MAC ships FREE to Alaska, whereas all the other brands I use to get from Sephora charges $16.95 to ship to Alaska and Hawaii. Just gonna skip this one for now. If Nylon is still there next month maybe I’ll get it…
Sephora doesnt even carry Mac in the United stated
I think you misunderstand what the OP is trying to say. She’s saying she’s reminded why she purchases MAC OVER any brand that Sephora carries because of Sephora’s sucky shipping fees to Alaska. She’s not saying Sephora carries MAC. 🙂
She never said MAC was sold in Sephora. I lived in Hawaii before and it’s ridiculous that even though there is a Sephora there, they still charge pretty expensive shipping.
Would you be able to swatch it next to candy yum yum?????
Hi Karina! On a Mac(book) you can actually select any of the pics from this post and drag to the main screen then do the same with pics from the Candy Yum Yum review to compare them. That’s what I always do to see similarities/differences in colors I’m interested in. I’m sure there are similar options on PCs. Hope this helps! =)
This function also exists in the Swatch Gallery across computers 🙂
I love that feature of the Swatch Gallery Christine! I personally prefer the images with the full face view for lipsticks because we have similar coloring =)
I love can’t wait I may hav to go to the site to buy ahead of time
That just pops right off my screen, amazing!
Any similarities to Stila Giggle if you have it around for comparison?
Giggle is less neon, cooler-toned.
I love lip colors in a tube like MAC Lipmix and OCC Lip Tars. I noticed that the lip tars expire after 12 months. What happens to them after they expire? Do they smell bad or break down? I would like to get more items that do not contain carmine (bugs) but I also want it to last because I know that I would not finish the entire tube in a year.
They might start to separate, but I’m not 100% sure!
Ericka, the OCC website says that if there is separation, you can just turn the tube over and it will re-mix. So even if it separates you should be able to use it again!
That is a gorgeous neon! You seem to make any color look amazing, but is the staining left on your lips a rather unattractive stain? Any tips so my lips won’t get stained by this color? And BTW you are beautiful!
It’s not unattractive, no! 🙂 You could try wearing a lip liner underneath!
Okay thanks for the help Christine!
Do you apply it in layers? I’ve only worn my lip tar twice, so maybe I’m not over the learning curve yet, but I feel like your coverage is a lot better than mine. When I try that much pigment, it gets feathery.
(By the way, I’d been wanting to try OCC for a while but didn’t know how I’d feel about them… so I read like every review you’ve done of their products before taking the plunge. I love everything I’ve tried so far. Thank you!)
Hi Sarah!
I don’t apply in layers really – I just apply the initial amount that’s on the brush or fingertip, and if I need more for the edges, then I go back for a little more. If you feel like it gets feathery, definitely try thin layers.
Thank you so much! What have you tried so far?
Whoops, sorry, took me a long time to see this. I’ve tried the Vintage lip tar and the Red Light eye shimmer. Again, I don’t get great coverage with the lip tar, but I think I have to play around with it more. I do love the color! And the eye shimmer is a dream to work with. I also ordered the NSFW lip tar, but it’s on backorder, so I’m trying to wait patiently…
Today I noticed their new Heroine lip tars, and came here to see if mayyyybe you’d reviewed the Black Dahlia, because I like the look–and bam! You had! Your site is such a great resource!
Thank you, Sarah! 🙂
I’m glad that the eye shimmer is working out!
Are you wearing foundation at all? Your skin looks amazing!
Christine, I’m new to lip tars and just purchased a bunch of them but not getting the kind of coverage you’re getting with your swatches and pictures of your lips. Do you put anything on top to make it look glossy? And how do you get such opaque coverage? Maybe I’m not using as much.
Nope, I just apply it with my fingertip or a lip brush!
I bought this beauty after seeing your review, because I loved the colour. I wear bright lips colours most days and being from outside the US I decided it was worth paying 60 us dollars in taxes and received it last week. Unfortunately, this is so drying on me. An hour or two and my lips will feel and look so bad. I have fairly large lips, and normally don’t experience this problem, but this was so bad. So unfortunate, since it is the prettiest colour and easiest application 🙁
*Grabs Sunglasses*
😉
I bought NSFW at Sephora and I am so freaking happy I did. This lip tar is EXTREMELY long wearing. I ate 2 meals and drank coffee all day and it stayed put! Seriously this lasted longer than any lip stick I own, which is perfect because I hate reapplying throughout the day. It was a bit drying but my lips are constantly dry no matter what I use but, compared to other matte lipsticks it is not that bad. PLUS the red is a true RED, it stands out and looks great (on me at least :). I love it!
Wooooo, too much!
this color just blew my socks off. I love bold lips, I have CYY but I can tell you this is a much better neon pink. I am sold. Heading to Sephora today! YAY! Thank you Christine!
I just ordered this lip tar after seeing it on here! I haven’t received it yet, but I noticed on Sephora’s website, the picture did not show a brush along with it as the other lip tars did. Is my Nylon lip tar going to come with a brush like the other non-limited edition lip tars?
I’m not sure!
You probably have received yours by now but yes, it should still come with a small brush and in a small plastic zip-type package. I wish the ones ordered from OCC directly came in the same plastic packaging (none of the 5 I received in Friday did).
Well that sucks that ordering directly from OCC does not include the bag and mini brush?! 🙁
And yes! My lip tar did come with a mini brush! The color is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for replying to my question Miss Christine and Miss Kesha!! 🙂
